but I could definitely see them cooling significantly on feeling the need to swing a massive trade for Watson given the second half of their season.

Actually I think a likely landing spot for watson is with the steelers.  with rapelisberger retiring they can trade one sexual offender for another and keep their fans very happy.

Why would an established player come to a franchise with a coach on his last legs ?  If Rhule gets fired the next year it's an entirely new coaching staff that may or may not want Watson.  So no way he comes here at this point.  

I think his options may prove to be extremely limited until his significant off field troubles are cleared up. It seemed like it was basically just us and Miami left and Miami very well may be out now given their turnaround. It could be Carolina or nothing. Would Tepper really be willing to push ALL of his chips on the table to go all in on Watson/Rhule? Because, damn... if you swing a massive trade for Watson and it doesn't end well this franchise would be truly gutted at that point.

I can't see a smart franchise making that trade until there's a LOT more clarity to his "situation".

I could definitely see that being attractive to Watson.  Stable organization.  Great coach.  Solid D.  Good rushing support.  

Lot's of plusses for Watson to head to Pittsburgh.  He could succeed there immediately. 

Now whether Pittsburgh is up for that, who knows ?

I just can't see Watson waiving his no trade clause to come here. If he wasn't willing to do it before Rhule proved to be an unmitigated disaster, I don't see why he's be willing to do it after.

It could well be the case that Carolina and a Rhule in desperation mode MIGHT be the only NFL landing field willing to give him clearance.

Funny, I was just talking about that this morning.61954014-3B36-4325-93AF-E2E099D2095A.thumb.jpeg.6a9a1e5354c6d04aa686a61ec677a981.jpeg

Buyout his contract and or pay him that year and move on 

make the usual, better for Matt and better for the Panthers’ statements 

I mean this is a guy taking his offer to the giants for more money. 

If he is the hot commodity he thinks he is, well, he will have a job in no time

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
