What's the difference between a "criminal complaint" and being "charged with a crime"?

I'm not trying to be snarky. There are 10 criminal complaints.

A criminal complaint is when the women go to the police and literally complain that a crime has been committed against them.

Just the little thing called evidence…but seriously I am against us making this deal

Morale police on full alert this morning hoping Watson doesn't come here.  Its a football team, I want a consistent winning team and putting Watson here is a huge leap towards that.  Those that oppose it are the same people who sell their seats to opposing fans.

“According to personal conduct policy, in the latest version, a player can be placed on the commissioner’s exempt list if he is charged with a felony or a violent crime,” Rapoport said. “As of right now, that does not apply to Deshaun Watson. I have not heard that he is going to be placed on the commissioner’s exempt list, even if someone trades for him, even if his legal situation is unsettled. Barring some sort of unexpected development, I would expect him to be eligible to play.”

Just because he hasn't been doesn't mean he can't be charged. How stupid would we feel giving up 3 1sts and a couple of good players and Watson goes on the exempt list. It's not like you can undo traded players without consequences like draft picks. Until the investigation is over, I just don't think he's worth the risk.

And no draft capital to build with and one of the youngest on top of losing one of the youngest and best defensive players in the league, all for a dude who’s not even guaranteed to play. The rose colored glasses some of you have on is absolutely insane. 

We really dont have more holes in our roster than teams like the Cardinals or Bills who are legit Super Bowl contenders and the reason they are is because they have Josh Allen and Kyler Murray and we have Sam Darnold

how are teams like the Dolphins and Texans doing that seem to always be stock piling cap space and picks?

I agree with everything you are saying, but have to believe we have vetted this and understand what is to come if we're willing to do this deal. 

 

Also, I don't believe this is correct but remember we have the richest owner in the league. As horrible as it is, billionaires have access to different legal services than us normal people do. I won't pretend to know, but gotta imagine Tepper might have the combination of money and resources to just make this magically go away.

A trade where conditions must be met? Like idk a player playing. 

Regardless my post was just about him not currently being on the exempt list. lol

And we’ll have a franchise QB for the next 10 years lmao what is the problem here? We’ve had exactly 1 legitimate franchise QB in the 27 years weve played

I love Burns and hope he’s a cornerstone of our defense going forward but Id much rather have to replace an edge rusher than keep swinging and missing on QBs

its been 3 years but i think some of y’all have forgotten what it was like to go into every game with a real chance of winning and when Cam was healthy thats how i felt every game. Watson is that good. And now we actually have a competent GM to build a team around him

Wrong.

We had Jake.

We had Stevie B.

Draft picks will be contingent on how many games he plays.

If he never plays a down we’ll pay nothing….unless we give up players that is.

Winging it?! This organization had signed Teddy to that stupid contract, made a stupid trade for Sam and even exercised his 5th year option.

It wouldn’t surprise me if they are calling in telephone psychics and reading smoke signals before making decisions

Not denying that but this is much different. We’re talking 3 1sts and players for a guy with this baggage. You make sure everything is good before pulling the he trigger on it. If you don’t you’ll set the franchise back at least 4 years but more like a decade.

I don't disagree with the legal part but Goodell is such a hypocrite with league policy enforcement. He does what's in the best interest of the NFL image and if that means Watson needs to be suspended long term to appease some group, that's what he will do.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      You bring up a good point on the stability part and i would agree that probably will factor into it. But yes, Tepper does have a strong influence on who stays/goes but I still believe ultimately it'is Morgan, Tilis and Canales who will decide.

      I can always count on yout to put things so delicately lol. I'm still not sold on the fact that Tepper will make them keep him if they don't see him as a long term answer.

      holy poo... this thread inspired me to keep trying to guess passwords to various alts I've created over the years and I finally got in! I pretty much accepted my fate as a lurker for the last several months because I could not remember my password. I didn't realize that new users couldn't join either, that explains things. I have been around for years under several different monikers, through the good and bad. I too always find myself coming back here even with all of the new social media options for Panther fan engagement. It's simply nostalgic.   I do get extremely annoyed with the same 5-10 posters shitting on Bryce and complaining about everything. It's unfortunate that half of them are mods and that nobody new can join because now I pretty much just come on here and see Bryce / Panther slander. There is barely any positivity to be had. We all watch this team and hang on this forum for entertainment purposes only. We have no control or say in anything. I used to be such a crazy ass fan that would argue with strangers about Cam newton on the internet and at games. Now, as a father of 3, a business owner and someone with way gnarlier life problems - I like to watch football and talk about football as an escape. Not to bitch more. I really like the direction of the team and will root anyone in a Panthers jersey. I live down the street from the Rams practice facility, Matthew Stafford is currently coaching his daughters flag football team in the same program I coach my sons. I have two highly ranked Rams staff members sons on my team. The way we beat them and had them on the ropes in the playoffs has me feeling amazing, and you would think we have the next great thing in Bryce with the way they all speak of him. I'm gonna ride that high and be a delusional fan, I hope that huddle can stick around or get fixed and perhaps I will get back to posting more now that I can log in again. I will do my best to not get banned. Keep Pounding!
