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.

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

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
