Tepper needs to stay out of this.

We can't overpay for Watson.

Not saying im in alignment with this deal, but is it safe to say its an overpay? We really wouldnt know until 3-5 years from now. If Watson comes here and continues on his track record, and we send then burns and brown in return, but burns struggles with injuries and turns out last year Brown's talent was actually his ceiling.... did we over pay?

Then the inverse is Watson comes and gets hurt and they go to be pro bowlers. It's just tough to say what is overpaying in this situation, especially since this is the first time this has ever happened in the league.

Tepper will give them whatever they want eventually, maybe after talking them down a pick and a player, but we will do it, a lot of fans will whine about it, but they'll pretend they were FOR it the whole time as we're winning the division year after year

He doesn't need too.. Texans do not want him anyway by the looks of it. Give them our 1st this year, our first next year, throw in some other tier drafts.. and maybe Samuel.

25 year old standout franchise QB - assume you have them for 10+ more years.

24 year old standout defensive player still on rookie contract - assume you have them 2-3 more years and then let them walk to the highest bidder and draft their more athletic replacement.

If we give up too many picks we won't have anyone to play with him.

If we are giving him 40 mil a year we won't have enough money to have anyone to play with him. 

I'm seeing getting Watson as crossing a Volcano on a tightrope. 

Is he a dominant machine yell fng yes. Would I love to have him hell fng yes.

But the more I think about it the more worried I am that Tepper will screw this up. 

He's pretty stupid. Definitely stupid enough to screw us.

How can you say that the richest owner in the NFL is stupid?

As for the money piece, there is no way that the Panthers dont restructure Watson's deal once they land him.... I expect them to match the Mahomes contract or standardize that.

Here is the thing. We are in a position to trade up to get a qb where as the Texans only option is to trade Deshaun for picks.

I believe the Jets want to build around a rookie and the Dolphins are the same. Falcons and Eagles can’t do it, Detroit won’t do it due to rebuild, eagles can’t do it, Bengals have theirs...there are things not going in Houston’s favor to garner a QB.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
