Bucs have been smarter about free agency lately, they won big on the Brady bet. Aranus learned a lot in the league from past mistakes over the years I guess. Hell I didn't think Brady had enough to make it through the year. 

The Jags spend tons and piss it all away while picking top 5 every year. It's been incredible. Jets up their too. Miami gets a nod. 

It may or may not work either way we wont be worse than we have been for the past half decade.

No worries QB is the only reason teams win, look at Watsons career year this past season.....

Wait.... Im being handed a card{puts on reading glasses....doesnt have reading glasses..} Hmm it says here the Texans were 4-12 last year.....Hold on being handed another card..... They already traded the 3rd overall pick the year before.....well poo.

Literally no one has said this, you're trying to talk us out of the idea of trading for an elite young QB, you are not the rational one in this equation lol

It has 99% of the attempts.  The only time it has worked was with GOAT coming in, without giving up ANY capital, to a team that was ready for the GOAT.  I'm struggling to see that scenario here in Panther land.  Not even the GOAT himself could get THIS team to a trophy with the assets you are suggesting they give up to get him much less Watson.

It should also be mentioned that starting in 2022 Watsons cap hits will be 21% of the projected salary cap.... no draft picks and certainly no FA spending sprees.

1% chance for us then? I think that increased our odds!

Which team that made a run in the playoffs was doing it with a subpar QB? Packers, Bucs, Chiefs, Bills were the final 4. Saints and Ravens are usually in the mix. It’s not coincidence that the teams who are constantly in the playoffs making runs have franchise QBs. Seahawks usually are and the Steelers. So yeah he was 4-12 last year one year away from a 10-6 season, beating the Bills in the Wild Card round and losing the Mahome led Chiefs.

Not talking anyone out trading, just think trading Burns, Brown, three 1sts, three 2nds, two 5th for a elite 4-12 QB with 2 ACLs tears seems a tab much..

There is a chance we could be tho. The range of possibilities actually has a chunk which consists of worse than the last 5 years. Again look at the Jags and Jets. If we fug up we could end up in a couple of years of cleanup before we talk turnaround. I would use the Texans as an example of how bad it can get but they are special bad right now.

When 8 of your 11 losses were directly a result of your failures at QB, then yes, you are one player away.

There's no real comparable situation to this, honestly.  Hard to know the outcome. 

This is definitely a gamble. But I'm happy to have an owner and GM willing to gamble to win. Playing conservative hasn't gotten us a superbowl yet.

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
