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

I'm more convinced Rhule would veto Deshaun.

I don't see anything in Tepper's makeup that would make him ok with Watson. Or Rhule or Fitterer on multiple levels.

Those are financial distressed assets not personally

Let's be honest...

 

There are many male huddlers that would happily blow Watson any and every time he wanted, for him to be in a Panther jersey. 

That was a pretty disgusting thing you said about a 14 year old girl the other day my dude. If some fans wanted to blow Watson, at least he is of age.

I voted NO other. 

His legal problems are not good but I just really like Sam at this point and want to see him succeed. I believe he can do this and I want to see him do it. I'm much happier giving him his shot at this time to save his career from his past than giving the same shot to Watson considering what his past is at the moment.

Sam feels more like a Panther's player to me now than Watson does and I don't think that will ever change. I think it would be difficult for me to have the same enthusiasm I'm feeling now for Sam. 

Go Darnold!

Go Panthers!!!

So when preseason is over, does that officially put a lid on this stupid Watson talk?  He's NOT a Panther and, in-season, this forum is dedicated solely to the Panthers.  At this point, it's PURELY click bait until we get to the regular season...I get it.  Hopefully the mods will end this non-sense in a few weeks.   Currently Watson threads are worse than a re-occurring rash.

If the price is right, the suspension isn’t lengthy and we get clarity on the motive behind all the reports and accusations coming out simultaneously, then yea why not. I still would like to know why all of them came out of literally now where so many at once simultaneous with the issues with the organization. Not trying to be little the women involved but not all of the information provided paints the full picture IMO.

It’s all about the price tag. I was against paying two first rounds or more before this mess. Now his rep is damaged and who knows how it all will play out. If we could get him for something less than a first, absolutely. Nothing more.

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 agree.   Was just a hypothetical question.  I see fans all the time not wanting guys like him on their respective teams,  but wondered what the reaction would be if said player was acquired and team won it all.   That's why honestly if Watson was acquired id not be happy but at end of day he'd be a Panther and i would hope for the best.

Winning solves everything. I can think of countless examples of winning solving off the field or other issues. 
 

If we can get him on a discount, I say we have no reason not to go for it. I understand the “let’s see what we have with Sam” crowd, but let’s be honesty. Whatever he shows this season won’t be better than what DeShaun can bring. 
 

If the Texans want just as much as before, flip them the bird and move on.

Even if he is cleared I say no.

And I say that from a football standpoint.

If you have a problem with Deshaun the person well that's a personal thing. If he is guilty and still only gets just a suspension and a team picks him up, who should you be mad at? The football team that employs people to play and win football games or the people in court that still let him go with a slap on the wrist?

Regardless, it doesn't make sense to make that kind of move for the Panthers.

      How many Qbs can you name better than Bryce Young?

      By CRA · Posted

      I don't need that many words to say Bryce Young has not yet surpassed the caliber of QB play that current Joe Flacco represents.   I have watched every game Bryce has played.  He doesn't give you average QB play.   He can't make a ton of throws.  Bryce is consistent overall in what he is.  You can take outlier games on both ends of the spectrum out of play and judge him or any QB.....for Bryce it is unquestioned bottom of the league play.  All you have to do is watch the two play.  Flacco is good enough that if you can keep up right and give him time.....he presents a level of play Bryce can't do as a passer

      Not sure.  Which ones have more GWDs in the same time frame?

      You kinda gloss over this, but this is really at the crux of this whole argument....which Flacco are we talking here?  You bring up that he played with 3 different teams but ignore the fact that his performance varied quite a bit from team to team. 2024 Colts: 65.3% completion, 12 TDs, 7 INTs, 220.1 YPG, 7.1 Y/A, 90.5 rating 2025 Browns: 58.1% completion, 2 TDs, 6 INTs, 203.8 YPG, 5.1 Y/A, 60.3 rating 2025 Bengals: 63.4% completion, 12 TDs, 3 INTs, 290.6 YPG, 6.8 Y/A, 96.2 rating 2025 Flacco (Browns + Bengals): 61.1% completion, 14 TDs, 9 INTs, 252.0 YPG, 6.1 Y/A, 80.8 rating vs. 2025 Bryce: 62.7% completion, 14 TDs, 7 INTs, 196.2 YPG, 6.2 Y/A, 86.0 rating I bolded the comparison that I think objectively makes the most sense...just simply comparing the two QBs for the entire season.  Otherwise you'd be cherry-picking Flacco's time with the Bengals and ignoring his earlier stint with the Browns, which sounds an awful lot like people cherry-picking Bryce's stats in the second half of last season. So again, which Flacco?  Basically the only thing consistent with Flacco across each of these teams was his W/L records: 2-4, 1-3, and 1-4 respectively.  I'd say if we're comparing each version of him to Bryce this year: Colts Flacco > 2025 Bryce, Browns Flacco <<< 2025 Bryce, Bengals Flacco >> 2025 Bryce, and 2025 Flacco < 2025 Bryce - Flacco this year only beats out Bryce on YPG but in part because he throws significantly more passes (almost 60 YPG more than Bryce, despite a lower Y/A which is pretty telling) .  Flacco is maybe the most apt case study about how important a QB's circumstances are to his success.  He was easily a bottom 3 QB in Cleveland and arguably top 10-15 in Cincinnati...and we're talking about the same player from the same season.  All that happened was taking him from one team and plopping him onto another team; nothing inherently changed about him as a QB.  Funny enough I think that's all that one dude on here was trying to say when he made that long poorly-received post after having an epiphany working for PFF behind the scenes or w/e.  That it's largely short-sighted to just try to evaluate QBs in a vacuum when there are so many variables at play that ultimately decide whether a QB is successful or not.   I think Bryce has been mediocre at best this season and I'm ready to move on regardless of how he ends this season - I'm highly skeptical a strong end to the season will carry over into next year considering how last year ended and this year began.  I would certainly agree that he's a bottom-third QB this year.  I just don't understand you scoffing indignantly at anyone holding the opinion that Bryce has had a better season than Flacco...I can only assume it's recency bias.  Or maybe you know the stats don't support you, which is why you're conjuring up the god-forsaken arbitrary "eyeball test" which is the kinda thing people in here were saying about Fields for years, pinky promising that he really truly was a franchise QB despite his awful stats.  Perhaps it's called the eyeball test because I roll my eyes anytime I hear someone bring it up seriously as an argument.
