I'm not worried in the slightest. I don't think that Tepper will allow his team to be robbed of talent, but I also know that we'd have to give up some valuble talent as well. It's not rocket science! That's how these things work. 

To be sure to get Watson we will have to overpay....just about any FA or trade for a great player requires you to overpay

i just find it totally absurd that many of you guys are so easily willing to give away so much for a single player

we need to keep building thru the draft and selective FA

and giving up 3 #1s plus other picks and our young players on rookie deals is nothing short of idiocy 

our owner, coach, & GM are NOT going to do that

PS: can’t wait to see you all blow up when we draft the QB from the National Champs, and one of the best offenses in college football history

Saw that.

McClain's been pretty adamant that they wouldn't trade him. He more recently said that he thinks they should trade him. Now he's moved to saying he thinks they will.

It's always been possible. Might now be a little more probable, or it might not. Who knows?

Still not sure it happens with us if it does, but that's possible too.

What McClain has been putting out publicly throughout this process is in reality a step behind of what is actually taking place behind the scenes.

If it means giving away our young D players plus 3 1st round picks I would pass. You need a team around your QB. 

nah you need a QB to build a team around.

just go back & look at what happened in Tampa Bay for example

That’s actually a good example

brady made them a championship team

but they already had major PCs in place, big time WR, big time LB and DL

they brought in a new coach, drafted well over the yrs, and were that single pc away...last yr they blew multiple games with Winston at QB

we are not there....and Watson is not the GOAT

Overpaying is not the Appaloosa Way.

3 firsts, two 2nds, Burns or Brown + Robbie ends up being the deal made, IMO

Lol 

So we will build an entire oline and literally an entire defense minus a slightly above average LB solely from the next few years of FA? Is that even possible?

Lord help us if this is the case

That's the price for 10+ years of elite QB play.  And six non-QB draft picks don't make or break a franchise over TEN years, if we fail to compete at the highest levels with Watson by the end of 2030 it won't be because of draft picks that we didn't have seven to ten years earlier

 the Panthers lost 8 games last year by a margin of one score or less .so we know or should know considering the facts that this team is a piece away as well

      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.
