Am I doing it right? 😐

I don’t give a poo bro. He’s an amazing QB. I’m not the morality police.

Neither am I but Image is everything.

And not many fans(especially female fans) would appreciate such a signing.

And before you say "who cares about the Female fans?", I'd say Tepper would care since he's all about the bottom line and sh-t. 

That's why I hope that he's doing his due diligence here and praying at the same time that somehow...some way....This whole thing with Watson blows over and doesn't result in anything aside from a stern talking to by the League...

I doubt he has a "significant" chance of being behind bars. Anyone saying that is way overblowing this. Watson is not facing criminal charges, and if he were going to face criminal charges, the law would've likely already charged him. If this is like most of these situations, he'll likely get a a number of games off after all this crap is settled. 

When it comes to the amount of assets and capital the team would be investing in the player, anything more than like a 1% chance is significant, frankly.

It took Bill Cosby 10+ years to get charged criminally, then he spent multiple years in prison, despite being screwed over and finally released. Watson spending time in prison at some point is not at all far fetched.

I honestly think it was way convenient for all this to surface the minute he requested a trade and the first one to come forward was a masseuse recommended by the team. Now the truth of the matter is now they want settlements and Watson refused to settle because he is still proclaiming his innocence, the other side can’t prove anything so it’s a stalemate. With the information that’s available I will not judge Watson until there is proof he did something wrong. With more than one team trying to trade for him I would imagine there is no there there.

Yup. Not to mention to opposing attorney is next door neighbors to a team front office official.

This is not even close to the same situation as Cosby.

oh wow, what will the Panthers do without the 5% of the fan base that is women (as if all women would even care)

you know what fixes that? winning. Watson is the best available QB that gives Carolina a chance at winning big. it’s that simple.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

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

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
