See, that's where your theory goes off the rails.  He won't be on last year's team.  He will be on whatever is left of it.  Which won't be no where as talented or lucky as last year's.  

Yeah, his brain couldn't think through that hypothetical critically.

Was Palmer traded or released? I've forgotten.

(I could look it up but I'm feeling lazy)

He requested a trade after the 2010 season, owner said no fug you.  So Carson decided to retire, and Bengals placed him on reserved/retired list.  That same off-season the Bengals drafted Andy Dalton and halfway through the season they saw that Andy was going to be their next franchise QB, so they ended up trading Carson to the Raiders after their starter Jason Campbell got hurt.

Man, I'd forgotten Palmer even played for the Raiders.

(guessing he didn't really do anything memorable there like he did with the Cardinals)

What's a better new handle?  WatsonMVP, MostValuableWatson, DeshaunHercules, TheDeushaunExpress, WhatCanDeshaunDoForYou, or WatsonMyMind?

I don't know...according to the latest news FillerUpWatson might be a good choice. 

(Totally kidding)

Yup, and I didn't even mention what the Raiders ended up giving up for him...a 1st and a 2nd round pick.

He got decapitated by Greg Hardy once. Other than that, he didn’t do much in Oakland.

Apparently they had the best QB ever and still sucked rod. 

Deondre  made Watson look better.

Watson had easily his best season ever without Deondre. There's no excuse for not knowing this given how easy it is to find out.

They still sucked because you need a good team to be a good team.

      I liked him when he was at Michigan because I'm a Wolverine homer. After that...

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.
