If any of you guys have been to any home games this season, you will know that Tepper desperately want Deshaun Watson. The stadium has been about only 60 percent filled with about 40 percent of that being the opposing teams’ fans. 
 

Tepper has been trying hard to get this fan base down to South Carolina. Tepper will easily be able to fill another 30 percent of his stadium with Clemson fans on Sundays.

Watson is innocent until proven guilty. No one here saw him do anything wrong, and he will have his day in court. Right now he is innocent.

That's what the commissioner's exempt list is for. So the NFL doesn't have to wait for court rulings to disqualify a player accused of egregious stuff. Panthers fans of all people should need no introduction to this.

I think it's morally wrong and un-American to punish a person who is innocent. I'm aware of the purpose of the exempt list, and I think it should be challenged at every opportunity. It's wrong. I of course remember the Hardy debacle.

Presumption of innocence is a legal concept only. Outside of the court of law it doesn't necessarily exist.

They're essentially on paid vacation. Not a punishment at all.

A corporation punishing an individual for allegations is morally wrong in my opinion.

The players have a union. The exempt list is in the CBA. If the players didn't want to be subject to it, they should've made it a bargaining point. Most players aren't worried about it because they don't plan on KO'ing women on an elevator or running a dog fighting ring or sexually assaulting 20+ massage therapists. The NFLPA sued the NFL over it a few years ago and it was upheld via arbitration.

And now they are tanking w Tua

Which is why I think this whole tank for this player or that one is silly.  There is no way to accurately predict how a specific player will end playing.  All we have to do is look at this years crop of rookie qb's.  Lawrence and Wilson may eventually turn out to be decent to good qb's, but its ironic that the last qb chosen in the first is (so far at least), the best.  

Rant now over.

Fwiw, I seriously doubt we get Watson, unless our front office is confident the legal troubles will not be as bad as it seems.

Tua is awful dude. Not sure what you're watching.

I dude that hasn’t even even played a season yet….

Looks just as promising as a lot of other high draft picks of late.   Got a winning record as a starter.   For a guy as young as he is on a non-stacked team.  That ain’t bad.

No reasonable player would want to be subject to punishment based on possible false allegations. The NFLPA suit failed, but that doesn't mean they were wrong. They were morally correct imo, and it's a shame the rules favor profitability over moral correctness.

What our coaches need right now is an entire extra set of questions to answer at pressers.  Not like they are having a good time these days already

      Post- Training Camp 53-Man Roster Projection

      By Seltzer · Posted

      By all indications, the surgery was "minor." I know with all surgeries and especially back surgery there can be complications, but I think the whole time Tremble did this with the expectation he would be able to be back for Week 1 It sounds like he will be ready to start back in team drills next week. He's a veteran who knows the system so I'm sure that helps. I still can't imagine he will play a normal workload early on though

      Maybe. He was pretty good in college before a bad injury. He had a good preseason last year as a UDFA in Washington and was on their practice squad all year so they obviously saw something worth developing. He signed a futures deal with the Panthers earlier this year, and everything about him has been increasingly positive. Tremayne has gotten a decent amount of time with the ones, and a lot with the twos for someone that doesn't have a chance. He's the only other 6'4" plus WR on the team, plays ST, and is a more natural backup to the X receiver position than David Moore. That was my thinking behind it. But he may well end up as one of the last roster cuts. If so, I do hope they can bring him back to the PS. But I personally think there's a good chance he could be claimed given his ST ability and what hes shown at WR.

      That was my thought originally, but so many of the beat writers have mentioned keeping 7 WRs in conversations that I went with that, at least for the purposes of this projection. But you're right that historically defensive guys who were standouts at ST have tradionally gotten those last spots
