Only the loud minority want it.  They would sell their souls for a game.

you would think by now those people would learn.

They have spent years wantng us to be paper champs and win the off season and make flashy hires.

Tepper gave them that with Matt Rhule hire and Joe brady as OC also Fitts won the draft and offseason with his trades got everyone talking and media buzzing same as the bucs did for years before Brady.

now they want the new shiny toy in Watson lol.

Twitter dumbasses do not bolster your argument. 

If we get him, BofA will be packed to the rim with cheering fans in the first home game he starts. The actual minority will be people who stop rooting for the team if we do land him.

No, we want a true, game changing franchise Quarterback.

Oh poo I didn't realize Watson wanted it public and the defendants didn't want it public....
 

A lot of people don't know that. They see one bad thing (in this case 22 lol) next to someone's name and boom, they are guilty in their eyes. Watson could've been cleared this with the settlement. He wants to clear his name.

It's all about risk. With Watson you're giving up a huge amount for a guy who has a very real chance of not playing for a long time.

On the other hand you can roll the dice on a young QB in the draft.

At this point in time I think it's a better idea to roll the dice in the draft.

Deshaun Watson is going to play football again.  That is a 100% fact.  So we should be okay with the league letting him play, just as long as he doesn't play for our team?  Because that is what it boils down to.

I think if we do somehow end up getting him, then Tepper will have done his homework with the league and verified that there is no suspension on the horizon.  He does not strike me as the type of guy to just hope it goes his way in a situation like this where the stakes are so high.

Totally with you there.  We should have just kept Cam and called it a day.  We would not be having any of these conversations right now.  

If we properly managed Cam... like protected him and handled his injuries correctly... maybe we'd still have him today. But we don't want the Cam Newton today.

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

      By cranky · Posted

      Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have.

      Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
