The same fans that have been complaining about mediocrity are the same ones that don’t want to take a chance on a superstar QB. Let’s just follow the same ole panthers way, because its worked so well for us in the last 25 years. 

Some of us aren't complaining about mediocrity and don't want to pay the price for Watson or deal with his baggage. This team has seen what happens with a superstar QB and a meh team around him. Three winning seasons. It just doesn't work.

Build the OL and improve the other weak areas of the team. Then go all in on a QB when they think they're truly ready to make a Super Bowl run.

LA has proven several times over that they don't care about the NFL, yet the NFL keeps trying to crack that large market nut.

Can't really say that about the Rams. They currently have 99.4% attendance, and average the 8th highest tickets sold in the NFL this year.

They still have that new car smell and are winning, so of course people are showing up just as they did in the past. Once the new has worn off and the team isn't doing as good, the LA crowd will abandon them in droves just as they have previous teams.

Much easier said than done. There’s a lot of things this franchise needs to fix. Seems like there is a new problem every season.

This would be a long term move for a 25 year old elite qb. This season doesn’t matter long term. It’s what happens if he’s still on the exempt list the following season. You gotta think the org has talked to the league and also legal counsel if they’re willing to give up that much draft capital and players for one guy only for him to be banned from the league. If they didn’t and are just winging it then this will be a disaster of epic proportions. I just don’t see us doing that unless we’ve had clarity. 

Hell I’d trade for him with this plan:

Work with him and his lawyers to settle his cases. 10 million dollar fund for the victims to just make all of it go away. 
 

Immediately suspend him for 10 games aka the remainder of the season. And put out a joint statement that he will spend the remainder of the season undergoing counseling and sensitivity training. Would have him go on the Ray Rice apology tour. 
 

Deal with all of that this season because we’re going to lose anyway. Then next year you go into the season with a young franchise QB whose paid his debt for his actions and be ready to play football.

The Chargers are 10th in total average attendance and their percentage is 99.0%.

I think LA supports football (and everything else) just fine.  Or at least just as much as most other NFL fan bases.

Kind of hard to blame San Diego fans. They were essentially the Lions until Marty came in, led them to success, and then fired him and watched it all burn all the way down back to Lions level again for years and years until they moved to LA.

LA has always been Lakers Town and they seem happy to be that, especially since they have the guys on the Lakers that are there now. The two NFL teams there now will be ran out of town just as the past franchises were.

He doesn't want to do that because he feels he is innocent. He has the money to settle these claims. He doesn't want to. Because he think's he is innocent.

Last thing I heard was he was gonna pay out to the accusers but he wanted it to be public and they didn’t. Not sure if that’s true but weird. Usually it’s the other way around.

I don't care if he ever plays another down of football.   Some things are bigger than a damn football game.  He is a dumbass at the very least and a sexual predator at worst.  I will never watch that dude play.

Fair enough, I'm just confused as to why you wouldn't support a team for letting him play but will continue to support a league that will let him play.

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      By jb2288 · Posted

      agree to disagree you are entitled to that opinion even though I find the argument completely bizarre based on data. I could type out a long paragraph discussing those areas but what’s the point. I posted a screenshot that showed Bryce in a similar post snap situation with a free rusher in his face which resulted in a TD - that’s what happened on the play so I posted it.

      By frankw · Posted

      I've already addressed this notion in a previous reply. You are basing your assertion outside reality if you think Bryce would have not only been more successful but defeated the Patriots in place of Herbert. Bryce got blown off the field by that Patriots team with the highest paid OL in the league. We've seen Bryce with an OL that gave up 65 sacks and it resulted in the #1 pick. And that is not a defense of Herbert or arguing he is a great QB in any way. He has physical talent but he has been similar to Darnold early in his career in terms of his very up and down perfomances. However that does not change the fact that they have significantly less invested in the OL than the Panthers.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      By CRA · Posted

      I think Tepper has been setting the stage where pending there is no miracle he wipes it all clean.  Think you already have been told that with small things like Evero staying.  Bryce is the guy next year.  OC, DC, everything stays the same.  QB room largely the same.  Nothing would really matter there.  They basically get one more shot and it goes how the schedule paired with our 27th ranked O predictably most likely goes.  Everyone out the door together.  Bryce is a bridge tier QB.  I don’t see Dave surviving where he could be bridge QB here in reality.
