you have no morals all you care about is winning football games.

I've got news for you its  bigger things then stupid football in the end and i'm glad the POS Watson is not coming here.

You're absolutely right. When it comes to football fandom, I couldn't give one poo about morals. This isn't the Billy Graham Lifetime Achievement Award. It's football. Winning is all that matters.

Top QBs do not last till the 2nd round, even if that is their grade. The top 3 QBs will go round one regardless if they have a 1st or 3rd round grade. Teams need QBs.

I know, but my point is, if he happens to last until then...  because I don't trust him or any of the other guys that were projected as the top QBs of this class in the first round.  If another team wants to take that gamble, have at it, but I prefer we didnt.

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.

I think we draft a QB and all defense, then we blame the QB next year for all the problems with the offense, rinse and repeat.

    • the problem is if we're waiting for Cam v2, we're going to be waiting decades longer.  our best hope is that bryce is better than we all think he is and that canales is able to work some serious magic with him and the scheme to help him live up anywhere close to the potential we thought he had. he's a smart kid. we just have to be able to have a situation that allows him to use his smarts.  the truth with cam was that een he had to have a system tailored for his skillset coming into the league. the difference between him and luck (which was the debate in '09 when we thought luck was an option) was that with luck, he could be placed in any offense and it would work...hence the higher floor he had  than cam. cam, though, needed an offense that was built around him to reach his potential. he could have done alright in a more pro-style offense, but to reach his ceiling (which was seen by a lot of people as being higher than luck). i don't think having to have an offense tailored around what you can and can't do well is a problem for people who can develop around them...after they've truly identified what those can and can't items are. we didn't have that last year. i think we have that this year. we want a guy who can carry a team on his back, but those kind of guys are very rare. we don't need to spend our time trying  find that guy, because even when you have them there's no guarantee that they will be enough.  championships are won, quite often, by teams who learn to compensate for less than the greatest QB play. you have a great defense and can protect the ball while wearing out the other defense and you've got a chance.  we don't need Bryce to be superman (despite where we drafted him and what we paid to get him). we just need him to be able to run (manage) a good offense. 
    • The Panthers aren't building a Bryce Young roster. Alabama didn't recruit personnel to fit a Bryce Young scheme. Canales' approach is to build an NFL roster (which they didn't have last season) and then cater his scheme and playcalling to what the players do best. The team is not pigeon holing itself into an offense that doesn't fit any other QB. Their goal this off-season was to provide NFL average or better talent to the offense - period. Very little to do with matching personnel for  Bryce Young's skillset or lack thereof.
