I don’t want Watson. 

and I wanted Hardy gone.  

and I have never been a mega fanboy of 89 either.  Because you know….he straight up went around assaulting folks and was horrible to people.  Repeatedly.    Still a great WR who does and did good things too though.   But saying that generally makes you not a good Panther fan

Most NFL fans pick and choose what there lines are.  We all have them.

Like what?

You said everything is different now because of me too and cancel culture.  

it wasn’t for Kareem Hunt.  He was right back the next season.  Got an extension too.  You follow the Tyreek Hill path and not the Hardy one of continuing to be a problem….NFL fans still largely just move on.

Sure everybody has their own lines. But most lawful people with an ounce of compassion, pretty much have the same line. And right now, Watson fans seem quite content to blur the line.

It's not about moving on. It's about doing the right thing the first time. Some folks don't want the type of person Watson seems to be. Doesn't make it right just because some team is willing to pay them.

do they? 

what is your line on someone jumping someone, breaking their face and sending them to the hospital?  Or sucking punching someone kneeling on the ground? 

or does it depend? 

all I am saying is the NFL is a weird space.  And we have let a lot of dudes play that we probably shouldn’t in reality.  I don’t see that changing

the right thing to do would be for guys who commit crimes or make the NFL look bad to lose the privilege of playing IMO.  

But that isn’t going to happen in the NFL.    So we discuss the reality of what the league is.  And IF Watson settles these cases…..he still will be back for someone.   Decent odds of it likely having a Big Ben feel to it. 

But I am not a fan of Big Ben and sadly not of Watson.   But he still deserves his day in court.   But regardless of the outcome, his decision making is going to rightfully leave him judged, even a best case scenario outcome for him. 

I’m no fan of Darnold.  But I’d rather pull for Darnold and bitch about his play than have Watson.  And I was a massive Watson fan.

Do who? People with a moral center. Or Watson fans?

 

I believe in second chances. But, there is a clear line between hitting a football player (s), and abusing women. Both are wrong, yet one is worse.

Sucks for Clempson nation. lol

 

All I'm saying is. You do the crime, you do the time, miss the games. Unfortunately we all know that is a pipe dream for lots of players.

It’s funny how Rodgers is a whiny bitch but everyone wants Watson legal troubles aside, who whines for the same reasons - both after willingly signing a contract.

Its hard enough to root for a whiny bitch but combine that with his legal BS?

I guess at the end of the day no one can control all these shitty characters playing NFL, gotta look at it entertainment wise and not look at these athletes as some sort of moral compass.

I wouldn’t care if he came here but the price scares me and it’d have to be after all this legal BS or stipulated for a reasonable price.

So assaulting people and putting them in the hospital is bad.  But not that bad.   Well, bad if I did it.   Not that bad if a football player does it vs all sorts of other things. 

is Watson getting off in front of women just trying to do their job better or worse than beating a pregnant woman? 

I’m not asking you to answer that.  It is rhetorical.  

Point is simply NFL fans are consistently NFL fans….and it’s why Watson most likely plays again and everyone just moves on.   I hope if he does….that opportunity isn’t here.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      By woahfraze · Posted

      I’m not necessarily advocating sticking with Bryce. His highs show the ability is there, but there’s enough bad film out there to doubt that he can consistently enough play at a high enough level. But this video from Brett Kollman is a pretty good argument to give it a bit more time, whether that be rolling with Bryce just next year or picking up his 5th year option (not extending him).      The gist is that the structural (wider hashes) and rule (3 yd vs 1 yd thresholds for intelligible offensive lineman downfield penalties) differences in the college and NFL have led to wildly different play calling and scheme diets in college. There is much more shotgun and RPO calls in college and screen/quick throws. This simply doesn’t set up young QBs to be able to play under center, which is more preferred in the NFL due to RBs being able to more effectively run out of that formation.  They don’t know how to do it and have to learn. Yes, the NFL has trended more toward college style offense in the last decade or so, but it isn’t that pronounced and is more out of necessity than desire. And on top of all that, they ask the young QBs to do all this learning with coaching and other personnel churn going on around them.  Bad results lead to coaches getting fired and new ones with different ideas on scheme and footwork and different terminology and playbooks coming in. It makes it harder on those young QBs to learn.     So we may drop Bryce for a young QB starter in the draft and be in a similar situation. With a QB who is going to take years to learn how to operate in an NFL style offense and will struggle along the way.  So you have to weigh whether the struggles we see from Bryce are more due to this learning process vs solely physical limitations on his part. It’s almost undoubtedly a bit of both, but the answer to that question I think dictates your strategy at QB over the next few years. And of course, you have to consider what the alternatives available are.    I’m neither a Bryce hater or a Bryce Stan and I don’t have an answer to that question. But I do fear that if we move on from him, unless it’s for an established player, we’re just in for continued frustration on the QB front because it’s going to take a few years for a college QB to develop (Drake Maye’s don’t grow on trees).

      A question no one is asking about Bryce and The Panthers

      By CRA · Posted

      The defense has pulled that feat off this season though.  Multiple times. offense has not had a single good first half all season.  Only and good opening scripted drive paired with disappointing play.  defense has been the actual unit you can measure real and consistent improvement IMO.  Still holes and flaws to it that aren’t going away until new bodies get here but they really are the story of the season IMO

      Hubbard says he might have rushed back

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      One thing about RB's and LB's is they are going to get hurt. It's inevitable. Having a fresh Chuba is not a bad thing.  My only criticism of this entire situation is that I wish our staff would adjust personnel to matchup a little better. I think Chuba is a lot better than Rico against the stacked boxes we've seen the last two weeks. They are very different backs with very different strengths, and I love them both. Rico is so good at identifying the hole early, and hitting it full speed early. He's much better at breaking the big run. Chuba is a much more patient back, and finds 3 yards when there's nothing there better than Rico.  It's in no way a criticism of either, but I think Chuba would have had more success than Rico the way the Saints and Falcons attacked us from a Defensive standpoint.  When you put 9 in the box, often times there is no hole to attack.
