Seems like one guy "reports" or floats something into the ether and then 3 to 4 more people regurgitate it on Twitter and voila!  It becomes gospel.  

I mean, it could turn out to be true, but two months ago, we were his preferred destination.  I think there's a lot of posturing and leveraging going on and we're in it until we aren't...  and if we aren't, I'll still be excited to take a young QB with our top pick and move on from Teddy, period.

I mean, isn’t that how every report comes out anyways true or not.

 

And just because you don’t like the results or don’t want it to happen don’t dismiss it. 
 

these are a lot more credible sources by the way vs the nflrumurs etc you seeing floating stuff around

It's possible, but Lombardi's not the greatest source. He's probably about on the level of Jason LaCanfora as far as reliability, i.e. very hit or miss.

I think it was sometime back in the mid 2000s, Lombardi spent half a season continuously saying that John Fox was gonna be fired. When the season ended, he wasn't even on the hot seat.

People knock the Panthers about being in a position to give Houston a chance to get a QB but San Fran is in better position?

There is a lot chatter going on whether it’s true chatter remains to be seen.

To add Ben Albright says if anything were to happen with Denver it would probably be Sam Darnold and he’s very in the know with Denver.

There is a lot of bluffing going on around.

Yeah I kinda wonder if someone out of Houston is throwing this stuff out but SF can trade them Garapolo. I personally don’t think he is much better than Teddy and is always hurt but they have old Patriots people in the front office

Honestly, the leak is possibly coming out of houston to drum up interest... In all honesty as Peter King said we are the only team that has publicy came out and said we are going after Watson. So ... why not put us in a self inflicted bidding war?  

Broncos are perfect example, bc they pick right behind us.. and have mentioned bringing in competition

San Fransisco is your other conference competitor in this trade. It is evident that HOU wont want to trade within the conference. 

At the end of the day... SF and DEN most likely cant match what Tepper will put on the table.

Albright actually came back later this even and shot the Denver and Darnold thing down

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers.

      Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      By XClown1986 · Posted

      I understand tempering expectations, but there are some issues with his points. Walker was a 3 year starter, but Green Bay let him walk and no other team was quick to snatch him up. That says something. Freeling will compete to start. With Hunter, we rotate our linemen and even 5th round pick Cam Jackson played some meaningful snaps last year. Both Brown III and Wharton have underwhelmed since we picked them up. Hunter is a run plugger that we have needed. Hunter will play early, even if he isn't the "starter." Brazzell was described as one of Canales' favorite prospects in the draft and he has a speed element we have been missing. I think Canales is going to have plays drawn up with Brazzell on the field just out of pure excitement. It will be up to Brazzell to prove he can handle it, though. If he can, he will play. As far as our secondary picks, yeah they have to earn their stripes and Evero tends to lean on veterans. So they might take time, but if they can show they can play, they will see the field. Smith-Wade and Ransom did. Sam Hecht simply has to show he can handle the mental side of the NFL game. If he can, he is in a direct competition with Fortner, who's also relatively young, but also on his 3rd NFL team and doesn't have the power profile of Hecht.  I can appreciate that Gantt wants to pour cold water on what was perceived as an impactful draft, but facts are facts.
