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.

      You bring up a good point on the stability part and i would agree that probably will factor into it. But yes, Tepper does have a strong influence on who stays/goes but I still believe ultimately it'is Morgan, Tilis and Canales who will decide.

      I can always count on yout to put things so delicately lol. I'm still not sold on the fact that Tepper will make them keep him if they don't see him as a long term answer.

      holy poo... this thread inspired me to keep trying to guess passwords to various alts I've created over the years and I finally got in! I pretty much accepted my fate as a lurker for the last several months because I could not remember my password. I didn't realize that new users couldn't join either, that explains things. I have been around for years under several different monikers, through the good and bad. I too always find myself coming back here even with all of the new social media options for Panther fan engagement. It's simply nostalgic.   I do get extremely annoyed with the same 5-10 posters shitting on Bryce and complaining about everything. It's unfortunate that half of them are mods and that nobody new can join because now I pretty much just come on here and see Bryce / Panther slander. There is barely any positivity to be had. We all watch this team and hang on this forum for entertainment purposes only. We have no control or say in anything. I used to be such a crazy ass fan that would argue with strangers about Cam newton on the internet and at games. Now, as a father of 3, a business owner and someone with way gnarlier life problems - I like to watch football and talk about football as an escape. Not to bitch more. I really like the direction of the team and will root anyone in a Panthers jersey. I live down the street from the Rams practice facility, Matthew Stafford is currently coaching his daughters flag football team in the same program I coach my sons. I have two highly ranked Rams staff members sons on my team. The way we beat them and had them on the ropes in the playoffs has me feeling amazing, and you would think we have the next great thing in Bryce with the way they all speak of him. I'm gonna ride that high and be a delusional fan, I hope that huddle can stick around or get fixed and perhaps I will get back to posting more now that I can log in again. I will do my best to not get banned. Keep Pounding!
