Per Adam Schefter, “In speaking to some teams, I don’t think this is going to deter anyone’s interest in trading for Deshaun Watson”

Understood, but what he's quoting is my question of whether a large group of women has ever come together to perpetrate a fraud against someone.

Pretty sure all of the cases against Trump were filed individually.

You’re pushing the goalposts again.

A large group of people would still qualify as multiple individuals....no matter how they came forward

Not really.

It's still possible. It's just not something that's ever happened before as far as I know.

Our friend Ellis chimes in...

Not gonna post all of it, but Ellis has a pretty good discussion going through several tweets on the topic.

Ellis isn't plugged in. He rides the wave of information as it's released by people who are actually in the know.

Taking a break from arguing about the circumstances of the lawsuits for a moment and focusing purely on the football side of this, I wonder if this could potentially end up working out in the Panthers favor?

Let's say these allegations are thrown out/dismissed/withdrawn/whatever and Watson is cleared of any wrongdoing, but it doesn't happen until after the draft and therefore the trade talks don't heat back up until then.

Could we potentially end up being able to use our draft picks this year to address the OL and add some talent around the QB and THEN make a deal for Watson after the draft, using our future draft picks?

That, to me, would be the ideal trade scenario. Imagine if we draft a stud LT in the 1st and a solid guard in the 2nd and maybe a solid TE in the 3rd and then end up trading for Watson in May or June if/when all this mess is cleared up?

Obviously that would depend on Watson being cleared and on a deal still being made between us and Houston, but it's certainly something to think about.

My question is for everyone saying it's a hit job is why?  What would be the benefit for the Mcnairs to do that?  All it does is potentially kill his trade value and if they keep him then it hurts the teams image.   It seems like a lose/lose to me.

 "IF" it really is a hit job, the idea would be to kill his trade value. When Watson has no other option (other than sitting out/retiring) he comes back to the fold. At that point the cases disappear as fast as they appeared.

No he hasn't! This stuff has mushroomed like nobody's business within the span of essentially three days. Nobody saw this coming except for the ambulance chaser. Even Watson was blindsided from some perspective! Schefter is likely now a bystander rubber-necking just like the rest of us at this point. The only person's credibility at stake at this point is Buzbee's, Watson's, maybe his enablers' (if he had any) and the supposed victims! And Watson obviously has more to lose than just his credibility!

To be fair, he was just reporting what he heard from people in the league.

Aaron Wilson said the same thing, basically that teams were still interested but that depended on the outcome of the cases.

Mind you, all that was before the latest revelations.

right. and I think we heard when there were 7 cases, teams were interested, but wanted to wait until we saw how it played out. I am sure that is even more the case now.

      What do you grade this draft?

      By PNW_PantherMan · Posted

      I’m gonna go with C but I feel like it’s a C+ or B- I liked going receiver first and I like how we picked up a 2nd rounder next year.  I like getting a running back and Te as well.  Additionally I like how we didn’t trade up and give up a ton of picks to move up earlier in the 1st. I’m not going to complain about them taking Legette over another receiver or moving up 1 spot.  He’s not the type of prospect that I would have selected but he’s who they wanted.  So I’m not going to moan about that.  I think they did the right thing. The draft loses a few points for me in taking the RB and LB so early, and waiting so late to get a corner.  I would have liked to see corner and center addressed before RB and LB but I don’t know what their board is like to be honest.

      The Panthers keep making the same mistakes under new GM.

      By hepcat · Posted

      I still cannot figure out what kind of team the Panthers are trying to build, and frankly I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t either.  But one thing is clear - regardless of who is in charge, the Panthers will continue to bypass drafting starting caliber centers in favor of project WRs. After rightfully cutting the struggling Bradley Bozeman, center was a glaring need coming into the draft. The team claims to be converting former guard Austin Corbett to center, who is coming off two consecutive season ending knee injuries. Corbett has experience at center, and in Madden Franchise Mode this would be a move that makes sense. But going into a critical season for the development of second year QB Bryce Young, drafting a center to grow with seemed like the prudent decision.  The selection of WR in Xavier Legette over Center prospects Jackson Powers-Johnson and Zack Frazier, means 4th year receiver Terrace Marshall Jr is likely on borrowed time and will be labeled another Panthers WR draft bust. It also signals that second year WR Jonathan Mingo could be heading that direction as well. Both receivers were drafted in favor of starting caliber centers in their respective drafts. In 2021, Terrace Marshall was selected instead of Creed Humphrey (starting C for the Chiefs) and Josh Myers (starting C for the Packers), who were selected 3 and 4 picks after the Panthers picked Marshall. In 2023, the Panthers picked Mingo ahead of Joe Tippman (starting C for the Jets), and John Michael Schmitz (starting C for the Giants).  Legette could become the next Deebo Samuel and make Panthers fans forget about the players they passed on to draft him. But history is not on the Panthers side, who continue to demonstrate the definition of insanity of doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.  And I still have no idea what kind of team they are trying to build.

      How short a leash will Young be on?

      By Jon Snow · Posted

      I think he will get all the time he needs to prove he is or is not going to be the future. His contract allows for that. The deciding factor will be how much will the team need to see before that decision is made. Another words, when is enough, enough for Dave and Dan? This we shall see.
