Trading for Deshaun Watson could set the Panthers back many years

[ChibCU]

This last offseason set us back enough. This trade would put us into sustained poo-show and irrelevance territory.

Trading for a guy who might not even play? Who brings negative attention to the team? Who might look a lot worse playing for a BAD offensive coaching staff? Sounds like a great plan. 

I was joking but he has played for terrible coaching staffs and had terrible surrounding talent and played terrific. There's no real risk of a massive drop-off here. Its just PR issues.

Lol....Panthers haven't been a factor since cam got hurt. Where were we going to begin with? 

It’s sad too. We had a franchise QB, and it was taken from us at the blink of an eye or a tackle attempt. Screw Kelvin Benjamin.

Having a player like Darnold makes you appreciate Cam even more. I remember you had posters who were tough on Cam from the start, critiquing accuracy and other things. Darnold is everything they bashed Cam for

I get what you’re saying - but you can’t exactly say we would be “set back” when we’ve never been in a great situation anyways.  It’s a SB or bust league.  Heck, we can’t even compete in our own division.  I wouldn’t call going from a constant 3rd in the nfc south to potentially 4th a set back.  The reward outweighs the risk here.  Not saying I would be a fan of the trade, but I don’t think anything can really set us back at this point.

Set back from where?

Let’s put Watson behind this joke of an o-line and see if he’s the miracle worker everyone says he is.

Seriously, I don’t want him. We would lose talented players and multiple draft picks. Not worth it.

Why you think so?

“Unless Watson has all charges dropped and the accusers recant their statements”

This is something everybody has to understand will never happen. Even if he’s innocent. 

[Call Me James]

They should have kept Cam last year.

Well imagine not having any 1st round talent the next 3 seasons, losing key defensive players like Burns and/or Chinn. And having a QB they traded for that won’t play until who knows when.

It can get a LOT worse.

Hence why I also said the part about how no one will forget these accusations and the PR nightmare that comes with it.

In other news, water is wet.

I could make a thread that trading for deshaun would springboard this franchise. 

 

But I wont

The only way i could see us losing chinn and Burns is if we are bad AFTER we get watson...and i do mean after he is well settled in here. If you dont get him...you are still bad with no hope for future and they leave anyway wants rookie deals up.
