I read a couple of other stories. The only thing linking us and Watson is Joe "Sources Tell Me" Person. I suspect it's Watsons agent putting noise in stupid people ears.

Jeremy himself said this was coming from someone close to Tepper

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. 

It depends on the player and the organization.  The NFL plays favorites for sure.  Do they want Watson in the League for the next 10-15 years?  Sure, but I think they want him going place that hasn't had their share of issues with this sort of thing in the past.  Our organization is the poster-child for sexual exploitation/abuse of women in the League.  Probably not the best look for Watson or the League.

Nah. Billionaires win by having the odds always unfairly stacked in their favor.

That's what I'm saying. They have unlimited chances, and practically unlimited leverage.

The Shark Tank is a good example of this on live TV. These guys on that show absolutely rob inventors blind, but it's their "best chance" to make something out of their products. And the guys on that show feign being conservative with their money, when they make these deals every single month without even blinking. It's pocket change to them, literally meaningless amounts of money. And they only have upside in the deals.

And I'm not here to say argue for or against that system. All I'm saying is the filthy rich don't "stay rich" because they take big risks. They take almost no risk, and have the ability do so almost endlessly, with only the ability to "hit the lottery" on the other end. 

That's not what the Panthers have. The Panthers are more like mom and pop playing the state lottery in terms of what they can invest compared to a billionaire.

People have no concept of how much a billion is.

    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
