Seems weird this comes out right after restructures from CMC and Shaq.

celebrate hell yeah GIF by Brooklyn Nine-Nine

I couldn't help but think of the same thing.  Part of the reason CMC would not be traded was because of his salary and now it's changed.  Also they wanted defensive players and maybe CMC and Shaq are part of the equation.  

I would hate to see us lose him but if it is necessary to get Watson than it's a gamble I think the front office is willing to make.

definitely weird since, you know, the Texans have just been ignoring everything and anything related to trade offers 😉

Looking too much into I’m sure, but Shaq didn’t look very happy at the retirement pictures today, maybe he’s just not a smiler?

I mean maybe the Jets and Dolphins are not interested in mortgaging their futures to land Watson?  Maybe Watson does not approve a trade to either of those 2 teams?

I believe he has already said he would approve the trade with either team. I have a strong suspicion that each team will make a play for Watson. At a minimum, the Panthers will likely assume that each team will be interested.

He’s a fraction of the players that Luke and TD were in their primes. Shaq is an above-average LB who got to play with legends so he gets lumped with good players by proxy.

Umm, I'm not sure that he's a top 3 QB in the league right now. Rodgers, Mahomes, Jackson, Allen (go figure) are all probably more sure things among QBs not at the end of their careers, and then you've got Brady in the mix as he holds off retirement yet again. Maybe even Russell Wilson could be better with the right personnel.

And maybe it's just me, but when people talk about how great you are AND you start demanding a trade, I begin to wonder if it isn't just marketing by Watson's representation and maybe even Houston's leadership who want to get him and his contract moved out and rake in a ton of opportunities. 

Even if he was a top 3 QB, the price for him is astronomical, besides the contract (which has a massive hit in 2022 even beyond the signing bonus that stays on Houston's books). We're talking sending players AND multiple first round picks and maybe some later rounders. If we do that then who do we put on the field with him to actually play the game? 

If we get Watson, there will be plenty of room for a Lombardi trophy because our cupboard will truly be bare. 

Once again, this ain't Madden where one star player on easy mode can win every game and take you to the championship.

Lamar Jackson and John Allen are more of a sure thing than Deshaun Watson?

Lamar fell off the map half way through the season.  He was initially in the MVP voting and disappeared and people started questioning whether he could take Baltimore to the promise land.  JOSH Allen is a great young player but neither are as good as Watson.  If we get Watson and get a good O-line and continue to build our defense.

He'll be our 2nd MVP QB.

Agreed 100%.  There are not a lot of young QB's i'd take over Josh Allen, but Watson is certainly one of them.

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      By jb2288 · Posted

      agree to disagree you are entitled to that opinion even though I find the argument completely bizarre based on data. I could type out a long paragraph discussing those areas but what’s the point. I posted a screenshot that showed Bryce in a similar post snap situation with a free rusher in his face which resulted in a TD - that’s what happened on the play so I posted it.

      By frankw · Posted

      I've already addressed this notion in a previous reply. You are basing your assertion outside reality if you think Bryce would have not only been more successful but defeated the Patriots in place of Herbert. Bryce got blown off the field by that Patriots team with the highest paid OL in the league. We've seen Bryce with an OL that gave up 65 sacks and it resulted in the #1 pick. And that is not a defense of Herbert or arguing he is a great QB in any way. He has physical talent but he has been similar to Darnold early in his career in terms of his very up and down perfomances. However that does not change the fact that they have significantly less invested in the OL than the Panthers.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      I think Tepper has been setting the stage where pending there is no miracle he wipes it all clean.  Think you already have been told that with small things like Evero staying.  Bryce is the guy next year.  OC, DC, everything stays the same.  QB room largely the same.  Nothing would really matter there.  They basically get one more shot and it goes how the schedule paired with our 27th ranked O predictably most likely goes.  Everyone out the door together.  Bryce is a bridge tier QB.  I don’t see Dave surviving where he could be bridge QB here in reality.
