Despite the recent struggles of quarterback Sam Darnold, the Panthers are not in the mix for embattled Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson, sources familiar with the situation told The Athletic.

After news broke that the Texans and Dolphins could finalize a Watson trade by the end of the week, The Athletic reported Wednesday that the Panthers have had recent discussions with Houston. But those talks were not considered substantial, according to sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Speaking on a conference call with New York media on Thursday, Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said "I haven't done any work on anyone else" and "I believe Sam (Darnold) will be a great quarterback for the Carolina Panthers."

That does not necessarily mean the Panthers view Darnold as their long-term quarterback, though they believe he can be effective with a healthy Christian McCaffrey and better pass protection. The Panthers' decision not to engage with the Texans speaks more to their unwillingness to give up multiple first-round draft picks for a player who is facing 22 active civil lawsuits accusing him of sexual misconduct and sexual assault in various massage appointments.

dont tell me mr. in on every deal isnt in the mix.

There is enough legit reporting that we have been in on Watson.  It’s the words that matter.  We aren’t in the mix ….means the price is too high for us.  But clearly we have been asking about it.

Gotta love how the Atlantic has two conflicting stories up. 

They don’t really conflict.   
 

they said the Panthers have talked to the Texans about Watson 

Rhule simply said HE didn’t.  That’s not his job either.  Then gave coach speak on Sam. 

clearly Carolina would be interested in what they would view as a good deal.  That just doesn’t seem to be on the table. 

and for the record, I don’t want Watson in a giveaway deal at this point.  GM shouldn’t be looking for a good value there.

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
