So Instagram and SI are just in on this to get a little extra money in their pockets? Really?

They are falsifying DMs and corroborated stories? Putting their entire existence on the line?

Apply critical thinking and respond...

You obviously missed the point of what I said.  I am referring to what players and coaches say in the media.

The current trajectory of this franchise dictates our being first in line.

Tepper has done absolutely nothing to put butts in seats.

Watson is a franchise QB. Not debatable.

We've had one of those. We all know what one does for the trajectory of your franchise.

We've seen it. That's why some of us were kicking and screaming (and got banned on this here site)when they footed Cam in the ars, signed TB?!?(garbage move) instead of playing Grier and having perhaps a high enough pick to have picked Justin Herbert (Hurndog was one of the few GMs to fly out to Oregon).

Instead we traded for Sam Darnold, passed on Fields and are currently looking over the fence at Watson.

None of that timeline makes any sense. Signing Watson, although the controversy, does make sense.

Stop the madness!

Uuuuhhh no, it doesn't... at all.

Nevermind that signing anybody "to put butts in seats" is a flat out stupid argument to begin with, but given that his own legal team now thinks there's a high probability of his being indicted, no way.

Nobody puts "butts in seats" when they're not on the field.

Watson isn’t set to be deposed in the civil cases until late Feb.

There could very easily be multiple civil trials AND a criminal trial in his future next year.

Teams are not going to trade for him this year.

Sounded like the Eagles had it in the works before the latest news came out, but now that's been shot down too.

Still think that's where he likely ends up...if he ends up anywhere. But with his own lawyers talking about indictments, doesn't sound good.

It's legal, what was done to Watson, but it bull**** and we all know it.

Rich guys do stuff like that to people/each other.

It's legal but it's not right. Especially when Jerry Richardson is shamed and Kraft keeps his franchise.

I don't care about all that. This was about revenge/manipulation we all know it.

I don’t know that.

You don’t either. You just have feelings based on limited information.

We’ll see what happens.

No, we don't "all know it" but it really doesn't matter either way.

Regardless of what your feelings are, I wouldn't put any bets on Watson being a Panther at this point.

This was an oft used reason for signing a running back to a 64 million dollar contract despite having no starting qb to speak of. Some of ya'll stay moving goal posts.

Based on recent comments from Buzbee, it sounds like some of the women want an admission from him as part of a settlement. Doesn’t sound like he’s going to do that so I expect this will go to trial.

The New England Patriots march on. They'll continue to be the darling. Maybe Watson doesn't have Kraft money so that's why HIS probability is high.

And YES Tepper needs to turn it around.

Get a clue.

I'd agree.

You sign football players for football reasons. Anything else is stupid.

Yeah...uh, Dave Tepper is not some mythical godfather like figure. He can't secretly manipulate the legal system or any such goofy idea as that.

Watson's case is gonna go through the court system. His best chance at anything was likely a settlement, but it seriously doesn't sound like that's going to happen now.

Complain and rant all you want. It's not going to change anything.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
