Is the smart move now to sign Trubiski and draft a QB, trade Bridgewater to SF?  Saving $10 m to trade TB, and that is about what (I think) Trubiski might sign for--(guessing).

Smart and Signing Trubisky for 10m don't belong in the same sentence.

if i had a gun to my head and had to guess what was going on, id say that this is a POS front office/ownership trying to fug over a player on his way out. 

 

When in reality its just driving his price down..    doesn't logically make sense for them to do that..  which is why i think the texans, or actually the friends of that POS owner, are doing this. 

 

 

Timing is sus, but why on earth would they be behind lowering his value?? Wouldnt the opposite be better?

I'm not suggesting Whiny Watson is guilty of anything...

...but the Huddle Court of Opinion certainly is giving him a complete pass vs. any other player (or executive) in recent times who has been accused of anything remotely close to this!

Hmm, I wonder why....??

I think you might be simplifying the Huddle's perspective so you can build a case against your argument.  I see mixed emotions, some waiting.  Antonio Brown?  Well, he had pleaded guilty of burglary a year before he was accused and it did not involve the possible future of the Panthers.  Other things were coming out about Brown that suggested problems in the ole noggin.  Watson has been the all American boy made good, and the day bad news breaks about him, you seem shocked that people would want to reserve judgement.  No warning signs.  So these are different scenarios altogether, but your system of logic is exposed, not Huddlers, in my opinion.

I can't believe there are actually people who are against us acquiring a young franchise QB like Watson. You guys are still stuck in the Jerry Richardson mindset of how to build a team.

All the stud RBs, pass rushers, and successful 1st round picks we've had since 2002 and yet if you take out the one pick that was a franchise QB (Cam) we'd have gotten nothing for all of them.

Without a QB, nothing else matters. With one, you have a shot. Yes, you have to build around him, but without one to build around you might as well forfeit every game because you're never going to be more than average unless you can somehow manage to put together an all-time great defense, which is practically impossible these days between the rules and the salary cap.

Why take out Cam, hes a great example of what happens when you can not protect your QB. Watson going to block the whole OL himself? You ok with putting a elite QB(that you just gave valuable assets for) behind a OL of UDFAs/veteran minimum types? How many games can this team win while Watson is on IR? Cam was here and recently too, he could only handle so much.

Do you know that he won 6 games and lost 3 on an 8-8 team and completed 67% of his passes?  Do you know much about the Bears OL?  The WRs and running game?

You see, if you sign him, you are already better than TB and you still go after drafting a QB.

It is not Watson--I get it--but you must learn to comprehend that there are things in this world that are smart even if you do not think they are.  Nobody knows how Trubiski will do in another system with good WRs--not me--and not you.  So cut the chest pounding crap and learn how to consider all possible options without getting those panties in a wad.

its the owner trying to get one over on an MVP QB that screw them over. 

 

its so easy in todays cancel culture

I dont see why, when he could get sooo much in return for him. Like buying a home and the agent says "well yea they only had either 8 or 10 people murder here"...

    • "Bryce Young did not have a good rookie season compared to other QBs selected #1 overall. My eyes say so." But... why don't the facts support this? WOA THERE NOW! Whether you're a Stroud Boy sitting down and idling by or a devout member of BrySIS, I come in peace. The purpose of this write-up is to explore the validity of a common complaint echoed by disgruntled Panthers fans. This isn't proving that Bryce Young is without fault for 2023-2024. It isn't demanding that everybody only cheer for him and never criticize. Hell, it isn't even a "Bryce is good" post. It is just a statistical look at BY9's rookie season compared to other QBs taken at #1 overall. A quick note on methodology: All of the data was pulled from Pro-Football-Reference.com, which did not have advanced stats for any QB entering the league before 2017 (Hurries, Hits, Pressures, Pressure %, Drops, and Drop %). Going back to 2000, there have been 18 QBs selected #1 overall . Blacked out boxes are for missing/invalid data. Below is the comparison: Perhaps the only thing that Panthers fans can agree on is that, despite fears regarding his size, Bryce Young can take the punishment that an NFL defense can dish out over the course of a season. While he did miss one game, the only QB that's started more games their rookie season is Trevor Lawrence. This was in spite of BY9 being sacked, hurried, hit, and pressured more than any other rookie since 2000 except David Carr (who is also #1 for fumbles and fumbles lost, where as Bryce is #2 in both of those categories). The one stat that Young did lead in was pressure percentage... No other QB in the last 25 years has been pressured more during their rookie campaign than Bryce Young. Even with all of that working against him, his body still held up.  This isn't anything new to anybody with a functioning set of eyes. Even people that think Bryce should still order from the kid's menu will admit that having eight different left guards and nine different right guards is probably going to make an already difficult situation for a rookie more difficult. This is where mobility helps bails teams out, and an additional area of concern for detractors. We won't see Young doing the same thing we saw Cam do such as carrying a defensive lineman downfield on his back or steamrolling a defensive back into the dirt. We did see him scramble though enough to put up the 7th highest rushing yards for a QB selected at #1 since 2000. Also not new to fans was the underperformance of the weapons fielded by the team last season. Scheme, playcalling, and inability to separate have been beaten to death but what if I told you that the group also had the third most drops for the third highest drop percentage out of all other teams supporting a #1 rookie QB? To say that the entire offense surrounding Bryce failed him is an understatement, and it reflects in the stats. With that context in mind, let's dive into the passing stats... Completions: 5th (315) Attempts: 6th (527) Completion %: 7th (59.8%) Passing Yards: 9th (2,877) Passing TDs: 11th (#11) INTs: 12th (10)     Having the fifth most completions, sixth most attempts, seventh highest completion percentage, and ninth most passing yards all place Bryce Young in the top half of the sample group. He was also 12th in INTs, meaning that despite the constant duress he was under while trying to find an open target that Bryce was not turning the ball over as frequently as other QBs did their rookie year. Being 11th in passing TDs is frustrating, but it's hard to get into the redzone with all of the aforementioned issues as well as the not-so-silent drive killer: penalties. Carolina was #4 in the league this past season for pre-snap penalties with 45. That means that every game had two to three false start penalties. In 2022, teams averaged 10.9 drives per game. If the same holds true for 2023, the Panthers averaging over ~2.64 false starts a game means that 25% of their offensive drives are being marched back five yards. Are these all just excuses in the end and Bryce will never be able to contend for the UFC Light Heavyweight Title? Maybe. Will it make some fans any less insufferable? Definitely not. What it will do though is help make the last two hours of a three hour meeting go by much, much faster. Hope y'all have been well. Keep Pounding!
    • He has a lot to work just to be an average starter and I dont see it happening.  Lots of blame to go around for last season but Bryce was a big part of that, even in the GB game he was dropping too far back and allowing the pass rush to tee off on him.  He cant use the same little quirks that he used in college to overcome his size in the NFL. 
    • Theres a lot more, and I mean a lot, but I think this gives you the general temperament of said poster
