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.

      Dan Morgan interviews this week

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      Another thread where the Huddle melts down over a Bryce comment.  "Conversations" and "Bryce Young has been signed to a new long-term contract" are still far away from being the gospel.  For a fanbase that has watched two top-3 drafted QBs come here, and us move on, only to see them elevate their play elsewhere, I find it comical. Bryce is flawed but this org is damned if you do and damned if you don't with BY9.  Why would our GM and HC say anything other than supportive about their QB1. Yes, he's extended, but I truly do not think if he goes out and has a repeat of the previous seasons, that he is here beyond 2027. They're giving him every opportunity and surrounding him with a ridiculous amount of assets on both sides of the ball. If he continues to pitch 110 yd/ game and cough up the ball while everyone else is busting their ass, no way Dan keeps him beyond the extension.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      Ooof, I was not a Proctor fan. I agree w/ a lot of smarter folks than me that he's more of a guard and think his weight fluctuation is going to be something to navigate. I liked Lomu a lot, but figured there would be more talented guys there at 19. I also wasn't big on bringing in a TE via the draft. If it's not a vet (Njoku) or a trade for Mayer or Kmet, I'd just as soon see what the youngsters have. No need cluttering the room with more of the same.

      Sam Darnold & Bryce Young are two very different Qbs ..just saying the last 25 years approximately 2/3 of ALL  first round Qb's  in the NFL were or are bust.so for everyone who makes it like a Sam Darnold you have two that don't make it or are a bust
