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.

 

Pretty much the prevailing sentiment around here.

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. 

 

Dang dude, not everything has to be so cut and dried, or so literal. 

 

You got off on some wild tangent. And I have no idea how to continue this discussion.

 

I realize football is entertainment. As such, stars get better treatment. HOWEVER, IT DOES NOT MAKE IT RIGHT. I cannot change that. I can only rail against it.

 

Edit to add; I did not say it was bad. I said it was wrong. Come on man, stick to my words.

They are just thoughts.  They don’t really demand a response.  

football is just a weird space.  That’s all.

My opposition to Deshaun is first of all due to the accusations against him. Panthers have already had 3 strikes for abuse - Carruth, Hardy, JJR. I don't want to be a fan of a team that turns a blind eye to abuse.

Also, I want to give Darnold a chance, and fear the cost would be too high for a rebuilding team.

Finally, I could just see the league screwing the Panthers - we trade for him and he ends up on the exempt list / being banned forever. (Bad memories of the Hardy mess...)

The Panther fan in me says, the price is too high.

 

The man in me says, it's a flat no.

 

Sadly, the NFL has a history of 2nd, and sometimes 3rd chances. This will probably turn into one more such deal.

What if Panthers get Watson and win the Super Bowl?

This isn't my answer to the poll question but just a general question.

 

IMO, there will be a number of ex Panther fans who may not give a poo.

 

My saving grace is that Tepper is not going to allow this type of player on his team.

I'm not sure about where Tepper stands. He loves "distressed assets".

I'm more convinced Rhule would veto Deshaun.

      Frank Reich, Ryan Poles get honest about challenges of developing No. 1 pick QB.  *Reich: My handling of offensive system "probably made it more difficult for Bryce (Young)" *Poles: From 24-25. tone changed from bridging Caleb Williams to 'tough love'   https://x.com/jfowlerespn/status/1957857880276705508?s=46

      As bad as AR has been, the Panthers would’ve been better off right now, if they had stayed at #9 in 2023 and picked him instead of doing what they did.  At least this way, they would’ve only wasted one draft pick vs what they gave up to pick BY. And they would have kept the #1 pick in the 2024 draft.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      I felt pretty good about us making progress this season, surprising some people, and getting some more wins than last season going into it.  Now, after preseason, my expectations are much, much lower. I was talking with my friend who is a Bears fan, and we were discussing their drubbing of the Bills and how people try to dismiss it as “preseason, so it doesn’t count.”  It absolutely counts.  Not the wins or losses.  No one really cares about that.  But what the Bears are doing shows that even in a vanilla, non-specific scheme, they are executing at an elite level and they are disciplined.  It shows they are well coached.  They see growth in their players.  Versus us - hard to tell what we’re looking at because everything is a fuging mess.  In games we’re still undisciplined, be it penalties or assignments.  We do NOT execute.  We got random coaches calling plays that won’t be calling plays during the season, we have our players getting into fights in the last padded practice of the preseason, then we have Bryce and Chuba trying to correct it while our coach sat off to the side laughing.  To be clear, I like Canales.  He seems like a good dude.  But, it feels like we have very little direction and discipline.  You’re allowing a team who has been historically bad the last almost decade, with a losing culture that mostly bereft of talent to self-police?  You’re allowing subordinates to work in pet projects at the expense of getting valuable reps and evaluation of players in during games?     My friend literally brought up last night that when Ben Johnson got there he essentially put DJ Moore in notice because it was starting to be perceived that he was displaying some diva-behavior.  That’s leadership.  And they’re reaping the benefits early and setting a tone.  My friend said there is an excitement and confidence in and around their team that’s he’s never felt his entire life.  And here we are, sounding and looking like The Bad News Bears in our final week of training camp and preseason.  I literally stopped watching after halftime last week.  I used to watch every play faithfully, even in 2001 and 2010.  It was fun.  This isn’t.  We are bad and our administration keeps making bad decisions to compound things.  Reading poo like this today is just fuging deflating.
