While we're still paying Teddy, and stuck with Darnold's contract for another year, on top of the draft picks lost, we're going to trade away more draft picks for a QB we're not even sure the league will allow to play for the foreseeable future?

Yes we are, billionaires win by taking chances

"Orchids of Asia was one of 10 businesses targeted in Florida by prosecutors and various law enforcement agencies, an effort they initially claimed was made to find victims of human trafficking. But after Kraft was arrested and the investigation was thrust into the national spotlight, that claim fell apart. Aronberg would tell a judge in Kraft’s case that investigators had found no evidence of human trafficking."

Thanks for a legit source, but I have to wonder out of 10 business targeted, why Kraft went unscathed. It could be the ladies were prostitutes of their own free will, or it could be money and power made it seem so?

No, billionaires win by having almost unlimited chances to take.

You think guys like Tepper, Gates, Musk, Bezos, and Zuck sustain their money by getting lucky and hitting it big once? 

No. They sustain their money because they can take endless amount of risks, because they have endless amounts of money.

The NFL isn't like that. The Panthers have a finite cap and a finite amount of draft picks. They're not billionaires in a sea of minnows. It doesn't work like that here.

It will be brought up over and over again so people do remember. You cannot defend this move morally and the media and local/national advocacy groups will pound the panthers until Watson is gone. 
 

Get ready for a ton of bad press and protests at every game.

I don’t even think that this is as bad as Vick and the dogs. People love animals more than people.

Yup and if I'm the Texans I'd happily keep Tyrod for another $5 mill next year. I can't imagine a scenario where anyone would want Darnold on a one year $18 million deal 

Frankly, can we just trade them a 2023 first and Darnold for Tyrod? He’s basically PJ, except, you know, good.

You can't make this poo up.

Really?  This could be the 'take the cake' take of the day.  In the 90's social media was in it's infancy and women wearing jeans to work on Friday's was acceptable.  Now calling a dude in a dress sir can get you fired from your job, de-platformed and could have possible criminal charges pressed in certain areas.  But yeah, things are waaaaay more chill and care-free now than in the 90's.

You’re right but that’s not what I’m saying. We’ve seen players get 2nd and 3rd chances. If not more. It won’t stop. NFL and fans, the people just don’t want to see that player who committed the crime play again for the same team. Everyone is okay if he goes and play for a different team.

      Panthers possibly trading Thielen?

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      I agree. I’d make the move because I don’t see us sniffing the playoffs and let’s be honest TMac, Legette and Coker better be our top 3 future. If they aren’t and we need Thielen to replace one of them, then we need to draft yet another 1st round WR, SMH. Suffice it to say, Thielen isn’t good enough to get us into the playoffs so let’s get the young guys starting so we know if they aren’t good enough. We still have so many assumptions about whether players are who we need them to be that holding onto Thielen for 3-7 wins isn’t worth passing on a mid round pick (3rd to 5th/swaps). We’ve had some success with later round picks/UDFAs and need depth.

      If you move Thielen I think you almost have to keep Renfrow. You need some sort of veteran presence in the locker room and Renfrow would be good insurance in the slot. I'm sure we have Coker penciled in to start there but you also have to be keeping Coker in the back of your head as XL insurance on the outside if he doesn't step up. If he flounders again, I wouldn't wait too awfully long to replace him with Coker outside and slide Renfrow into the slot and keep it moving.

      Playing the same role is different than having the same style.  Cam Newton and Drew Brees both played QB but arent the same type in any way.
