Yes, let's kick this poo show into maximum overdrive. Watching us trade a king's ransom for Watson just to watch him immediately end up on the commissioner's exempt list would be maximum entertainment around here.

Ian rapoport said earlier that it’s not expected that he’ll be placed on the exempt list even if he’s traded. So he is eligible to play

After what this team has already given up, this would be stupid. With what the Texans are going to want it leaves no way to fix the oline, sign DJ, Burns or any other key pieces and that doesn't even bring into consideration if he's even allowed to play. Houston smells blood in the water and we may be stupid enough to bite. No first or 2nds for the next 3 years would be where we likely end up with a bloated contract and Watson can walk by the time we have a chance to even begin fixing it. Please No.

So, all the talk about changing culture wasn't honest? Watson is going to be the face of the franchise? How far do you want to set back this organization?

Tepper could sell back the JR. Would be great having Watson and JR leading us.   Lol.

Not to make light of the situation, because if he is a predator, that is no laughing matter, but to be fair, there should already be protests against Darnold's horrible play and the fact we traded a 2nd round pick for him.

A protest against a predator being shipped in and a crap NFL player's awfulness are different protest. Like non-NFL people show up for one of those and the other doesn't even exist tomorrow for a huge chunk of the populace.

Having a QB solves everything

I mean think about how bad Houston was, and yet they still had 2 10+ win seasons with him.

Do I want this to happen?  No, but only because Watson has way too much baggage off-the-field right now.  But if we're just talking about the player on the field?  He'd definitely be worth 3 1st round picks, even if it made it more difficult to fix the OL.

Not disagreeing, was just trying to bring some levity to a seemingly hopeless feeling situation for our franchise right now.

But, furthermore, I honestly don't think Tepper gives a flying poo what anyone thinks about him or what he does.

How long have ya'll be following sports?

Nobody is going to protest Watson playing.  Again, not trying to downplay what Watson is accused of because it is TERRIBLE and I do think we shouldn't touch him, but at the end of the day, as sad and cruel as this may sound... Watson is going to play in the NFL again and this all will, in all likelihood, be mostly forgotten or swept under the rug.  We've seen this time and time again.

Yeah, that would change real fast when the leading story on every news channel turned to how the Carolina Panthers are set to start an accused serial sexual predator at QB and the NFL is prepared to standby and let it happen. Goodell would cave to the public pressure.

I agree, it just scares me that he could absolutely pull that trigger. I can't cheer for that dude at this point.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      By TD alt · Posted

      I hope Bryce balls out. Wouldn't bet the farm on it though. Morgan has to be practical though. He was placed into a situation where he was compelled to give Bryce a long look. There really haven't been any more practical options due to who has been available at the position. The Panthers had already put their chips in with Bryce, so putting more chips in by borrowing against the future and stacking on that by borrowing against the future without really having the requisite draft capital was a nonstarter. We could either dump Bryce and go dumpster diving for known and unknown JAGs at the position, or take out chances and let it play out with Bryce and hope for acceptable returns. Due to what looks like some good moves in the draft and free agency, it appears like we're finally getting into a position where we can take a swing again if need be without destroying the core of the team. I understand that you'll believe it when you see it, but Dan is gonna move on if Bryce can't cut it. There are too many professionals lives and careers tied to Bryce to simply accept the status quo.

      Football is the ultimate team sport. No sport is more dependent on others for your success - including coaching. I don't know if Bryce is the guy, but I do know this has been a very bad team all around since he got here. One of the worst o-lines and coaching staffs I've ever seen his rookie year. One of the worst defenses and receiving groups (including TEs) I've ever seen his 2nd season - with a rookie HC and OC. An improving WR group his 3rd season mostly due to a rookie. The only other WR of note didn't really play well until after the 10th game of the season due to injury. Still no receiving TE to speak of. And lost games because of the worst pass rush in the NFL. And the only speed he's ever had on the field was DJ Chark. A washed up DJ Chark that played here one year and has had 31 yards receiving since leaving.  Carolina had no business moving up for a QB in 2023. They weren't ready. Especially if it meant trading your only good WR to do it. Now finally there's potential on defense. Potential on o-line. Potential at WR, including some actual speed in a game where speed kills. If BY falls on his face this season, then he has to own it. Situation may not be perfect, but it's at least NFL average across the board. I won't beat him up for being bad in bad situations on a bad team. But a 4th year QB has to be able to control the offense and make players/coaches right. The team looks good enough on paper to show what he can do now.
