Panthers not in mix to acquire Texans QB Deshaun Watson:

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.

    • I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.
    • Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.  
    • Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
