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.

      Not looking good for TB. Buffalo and Habs fans are the worst so I will be cheering for the meteor.

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

      By frankw · Posted

      Arguing about who had what and who did what with more is just going to end in the same charades. If we're going to waste a lot of hot air arguing then make it about something that cannot be denied. What you are seeing with your own two eyes. Cam Newton was a tremendously talented athlete albeit flawed in fundamental aspects. And although he played poorly in and lost a Super Bowl you cannot deny him that more often than not through his prime his teammates knew they could count on him to hold up his end of the bargain usually and be a key driving force for keeping them in games. Giving his defense much needed rest and motivation in wanting to match his grit as a competitor. That aspect is just not there with Bryce Young. Yeah he's dumped on the Falcons in a dome twice but what about his other 44 games? When has the Panthers defense the last three years ever looked at their starting quarterback and thought to themselves "man I'm so glad he's my QB"?

      Rico walking is no big deal. I'll take a healthy 2024 Hubbard over Rico any time and losing Mays is, again, no a big deal.  Young is signed for what, $35M for the next two years? Say he wants $50M but the FO doesn't. If they put the franchise tag on him, that would be around $55? So basically they are getting Young for the next 3 years for an average of $30M per year. Putting the franchise tag on him wouldn't be my first choice but it gives them an option that wouldn't be locking him into a long term, $50M contract. I'm not suggestion they do that. Just that the option will be there should they get to that point. Hunt is on a 5 year deal which is done in 28 so he either restructures or is gone anyway. Moton will be 35 by then and will either be gone or have diminished playing time. Neither of those players has anything to do with getting Young a contract. The O line is way overpaid anyway. Hopefully by the time they are gone, Freeling and Hecht will be developed and Ickey will be healthy. Young was benched his second year and only got his job back because Dalton was injured. Not sure how you can call that entitled. And I would NOT say putting a rookie QB on a team with no receivers, tight ends or O lineman and then being put with a coach who never wanted you and is fired mid season, is a definition of luck. As far as competition, no team is going to bring in competition for a QB picked first overall - especially given the capital that was given up to get him.
