It's happening. (Probably)

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"...

    • I wholeheartedly and respectfully disagree with wanting RBA gone.  It would be a huge mistake.
    • Rod wasn't on the ice for any of the goals the Canes scored or the ones we let the Rags score. Hockey is a cruel sport sometimes and I've said winning a Cup is probably the hardest championship to win in all the major sports; what with the salary cap in place, injuries that can and do happen to key players, teams/players that go on "heaters," and just plain damn puck luck. The Canes were the better team, but didn't perform and/or get much luck at all this series.  Refs were decidedly against the team (not saying this is why we lost the series, but it was obvious).  Games 2, 3 and 6 were winnable games for us and the guys didn't play up to the moment, they played nervous, scared, "not to lose hockey," and lost both of the OT games because of it and blew it tonight.  Game 1 was the only straight loss and unfortunately Freddie must have been wearing his Toronto undergarments tonight.  He deserves a lot of the blame tonight, but I can also say we had a couple of other guys that helped the collapse.  Orlov comes immediately to mind tonight and in one of the OT games when he just over skated a puck, to me he made (throughout the season) some of the most consistently dumbest plays I had ever seen out of the Canes defensive unit under RBA and Gleason. Losing absolutely sucks especially to this POS Rags team who can go fug each other, the refs, and the league officials who absolutely want them in the playoffs for as long as possible.  Trocheck can suck a fat cawk for his petty bullshit and I hope karma brings Trouba that broken neck he so richly deserves. All that being said, I don't believe RBA should be thrown under the bus AT ALL.  We could have won this series and there wasn't a specific decision he made that cost the team games.  The players didn't step up in the moments when they needed to, our PP was terrible all series, our PK was terrible in Games 1 and 2 and let us down in Game 6.  We tightened up in the OT games, our goalies were plain average or worse in 5 of 6 games with Freddy losing any sort of mental toughness tonight.  We rarely saw the Canes play the way they can play and when that happens in the playoffs say hello to the end of your season.  I've mentioned it before, but to win the Cup every one of those guys who laces em up and gets out there on the ice has to leave their blood, sweat, and tears out there every single night whether you are playing the Jr. Canes or fugging Rags.  There is no tomorrow, there is now and the Canes have not done that in the playoffs.  We've had tough breaks with injuries (Svech last year, Fast and Pesce this year, etc.), scoring issues, etc. but since I've been around the whole time the franchise has been in NC this iteration of the team has never shown some of the heart and grit that the teams did when they improbably went to the Stanley Cup finals vs. Detroit, won it all in 2006, and made the ECF in 2009 with overall less talent than we have now. I don't want RBA to go, he didn't lose any of these playoff series.  We can question his moves and in a few instances rightfully so, but I don't want to go back to where we were.  Daniels can go to Chicago, evaluate the roster, but this isn't an RBA issue and I don't think it's a Gleason coached D issue.  I think it's the players who have to understand an off night during the playoffs can't happen, play your game, don't overthink it, leave it all out on the ice, and take on the "us vs. the world" mentality.  Hell, the more I think about it the more this team may need a good sports psych. This series could have been 4-1 or 4-2 Canes, instead due to tightening up and nerves getting the best of the boys we lost 4-2.  It SUCKS, SUCKS, SUCKS, but no need with some of these crazy azz takes. and BTW I know we all want to attack us not getting an elite goalie, but 5 out of the last 7 Cup champions didn't have what I would call an "elite" goalie.  In most cases those teams had serviceable goalies who played up to the moment to win the Cup with their teams playing well in front of them.  The two Cups that the Lightning won with Vasilevskiy are the ones were I believe elite goaltending put them over the top. tl;dr:  This series loss isn't because of RBA, y'all are having knee-jerk reactions, our PLAYERS need to bring it when it's playoff time...they haven't, and sometimes the hockey gods aren't with you.
