Yep. He doesn't want to come here and Stafford didn't want to come here.

Two elite QB's that are avoiding this place. No Bueno.

I believe this means moving forward we are a draft only QB option.

The top of the 22 QB draft class isn't looking like it has many great options. Certainly none as good as 2021 did.

Tepper & Co. were never interested...

...low/no-character guys like Mr. Whip-It-Out have no place in this organization.  

huh? 

the reporting is the offer is on the table and Watson simply won't waive the not trade clause for Carolina.

Why would Matthew Stafford OR Deshaun Watson want to come to Charlotte to lead a team at the beginning of a rebuild? We're less than two years into our rebuild. Both were stuck with losing teams basically their entire careers. Stafford was the missing piece in LA and Watson is most likely a huge sex pest who will buy his way out of jail. We can't compete with LA or Miami as far as destination choices for different reasons for both players.

Yep. Stafford had a really good option. Watson is saying that a 1-6 Dolphins team still looks like a better option than us.

The latest stuff from those in the know say he didn't choose the Dolphins over us.  It's saying we backed out, and I think the implication is, the Dolphins were actively pursuing him and he had already waived his clause for them.

So I guess we're at the point where we just ignore actual logic on this forum to fit whatever negative narrative we want to push.

😂😂😂where you been Mage? It’s been this way around here for as long as I can remember!

So here is our roadmap from here on out.

1. Go the rest of the season with Darnold, maybe win 1 more game

2. Draft OT Neal next draft. Do NOT draft a QB. This staff will ruin him to save their sorry asses. Let Rhule continue to be delusional about winning with his dumpster dive QBs. Let him start the season with a low tier FA QB like Jacoby Brissett or Mariota. DONT TRADE DRAFT PICKS FOR A poo QB LIKE U DID WITH SAM!!!!

3. Fire Rhule and his staff at the end of 2022 after another <= 5 win season.

4. Start over with a new coaching staff in 2023. Hopefully we will have a new owner then as well. Draft a QB and plug him into a decent core.

Why not give it one more year until 2024 and do a package deal of Riley/Williams from Oklahoma like Arizona did with Kingsbury/Murray

Because Miami is his first option.

This does not mean that he would NOT waive it for Carolina.  Which has been well-known the entire time.  

If Houston/Miami have a deal in place, then why would Watson waive it for a 2nd team when he could go to his first option?

This does not mean he would not waive it for Carolina, if the Miami deal broke down.  It does not mean Watson would not play for Carolina.  It does not mean we aren't 2nd in line to get Watson.

You guys are reading far, far more into Ian's tweet than necessary.  The only new information was that we were not going to pursue him, "at this time."  And as Florio pointed out, who knows what "at this time" means?  It could mean that if the Dolphins/Texans deal breaks down, then we will be back to pursuing him at another time later this week or in the offseason.

100% agree. But, IMO, they will probably draft a QB. I don't think Tepper is gonna bite on a middle tier FA QB signing anymore. I am not sure the FO and coaching staff are gonna have much of an option.

Boy, that Browns reference is about to start getting REAL accurate.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
