Rapaport: Panthers/ Tepper out of Watson deal

Looks like Tepper is a meddling owner after all. I heard as much when Cam was cut.

I guess he got what he wanted. Too bad he's not a football guy however, as anyone that's watched the NFL knows how difficult it is to find a quarterback. For some reason Tepper had no idea.

Bingo. We just openly waived the sheer panic flag and now we're not even doing a good job of handling the PR aspect letting him come out that we didn't bow out, we were told no by Watson. Oh wee mayne. I'd say our season spirals out of control from here, but we were already in a tailspin with the ground fast approaching anyway.

 

There's nowhere to go but up. Well after we circle around on the bottom for a while it will be nowhere to go but up.

Interestingly enough, I'm told contact between Texans GM Nick Caserio and Dolphins GM Chris Grier has been almost nonexistent in the last two or so weeks. And as far as I know, the compensation for Watson is still equal to three first-round picks plus Day 2 picks or players.

Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper has gone back and forth on whether to ultimately deal for Watson. Tepper was heavily interested in Watson when news of his trade request first broke in January, but the sexual allegations followed and that cooled all interest in Watson around the league. Tepper and the Panthers pulled out of looking to trade for Watson near the end of the preseason, too. But since then, Watson hasn't been moved to Miami and the Panthers have a growing question mark at quarterback with the bench-worthy play of Sam Darnold.

On Wednesday, the Panthers again pulled out of the running for Watson, according to a league source. But make no mistake, that interest remains.

Indeed. It’s gonna be great having Sam Darnold as our starting QB the next 2 years 

As long as they build an offensive line for the next guy... heck, with an offensive line Darnold might have been able to rehab here. Without one, he sure wasn't able. He's David Carr all over again.

They should have kept Teddy, drafted an olineman and then make a move for a qb after this season.  Why in the hell they rushed things I have no idea but right now we are fuged

Seems to completely contradict the info put forth by John McClain from the Houston Chronicle middle of last week...

...McClain is supposed to be the axe on info related to Mr. Whip-It-Out.

    • He makes a good point about Wallace.  In fairness to Wallace it is hard to play your position as freely as you need to when your defensive line is getting pushed around like ragdolls.  One of the greatest attributes a defensive line has is sucking up blocks, freeing up your linebackers.  Our defensive line couldn't suck up a lollipop more or less blocks.  I think Evans, Sanders and Tremble are going to be a really nice TE group.  I can see all three getting time on the field.  If Sanders can improve as a blocker teams won't be so inclined to believe it is a pass play whenever Sanders is on the field.  Ryan Fitzgerald, I think was an awesome pick-up. Hopefully he can fill our kicker void. Luke Kandra many turn out to be our next Norwell.  Everything I have heard about him says he's a beast.  He needs some refinement, but the good news is he's got Hunt and Lewis (arguably the best guard tandem in the league) to learn from. 
    • Great teams build through the draft and have several young players that start that are on rookie contracts. It's important to hit on players in rounds 4 thru 7.  These should be future starters and solid depth.  When you hit on most of your picks you free up a lot of cap space for those one- or two-year players to fill spots you are thin at. No GM is going to perfect on all their picks.  You're going to whiff every once in a while.  That was Hurney problem.  He'd nail the first pick but after that it was reach after reach and we couldn't get any depth on this team. I'm excited about Morgan as our GM and hopefully he'll be around a long time.  It will be even better if Canales can continue to grow as a head coach, both in the development of young players and play calling. I remember last season after Young came back in the lineup and started to perform well.  We saw different plays I had only seen other teams use.   If Canales's play design and play calling continue to grow. Morgan and Canales will be linked together for a long time.  It would be nice to see a Coach and GM together for a decade or two. Go Panthers
