lol the ones who always complain about these threads, and say they hate them, always end up in them and posting in them. 
 

I doubt Watson would even want to come here, but I’d love it if he was brought in. He’s an excellent QB; a star QB who is still pretty young. It was great seeing Mahomes and Allen go at it until I realized the Panthers are nowhere near this level. We don’t have a player in the same stratosphere as those 2

No.

Deshaun cannot be deposed before Feb. 22, 2002.

Only a Huddler would think that trading the future for somebody that might not have one is the best way to fix this mess.

And think about what that trade would require.

Not only are you giving up a major portion of the resources that could be used to build around him; you're also giving up your next three years worth of shots to get a different franchise quarterback if, for whatever reason, Watson doesn't work out.

That's way too big a gamble to take on somebody who's got the kinds of issues Watson has.

The only thing that makes me feel like we have a chance is Miami is out of the running. He wouldn’t waive his no trade clause here because that gives Houston leverage to pick between the two. He preferred Miami. Houston probably would’ve taken our deal to get him out of the AFC. There were reports we had the better offer.

When that's compounded with what the team already gave up trying to appease Tepper by tying up $19M in a guy that the team gave away a 2nd, 4th, and a 6th for... oof. That's a hefty price tag to keep swinging.

Pretty common belief at this point is that he'll change his preferred target to whatever team hires Brian Flores.

Obviously that's not going to be us.

Could be. Another team could emerged. If I’m Watson I wouldn’t pick here but don’t know what kind of options he has left. If if the team Flores gets hired to even wants watson. If he isn’t traded again this off-season I’m out. Just keep trying to get the guy through the draft and there’s a big chance we won’t have a playoff caliber team for another 5-10 years if not more. These types of qbs are super rare. And if we wanna win championships we’re gonna need a qb that can go toe to toe with Mahomes, Allen or burrow (eventually).

It is funny and then immediately sad to see Alternate Universe Panthers have so much success.

Seriously, if that’s the case, explain why the Texans won only 4 games last year? 

I already did. They had the worst defense in the league. Watson kept them in games only losing by 8 points or less except for 4 games. They only got blown out once. He is a total freak show putting up over 5k total yards and 35 tds and he’s not even hit his prime. We however don’t have the worst defense in the league with a very strong core of young talented pieces that plays well with a lead.

Our defense isn't really that good.

Throw in that we'd likely have to give up one or more of our better defensive players as part of the trade.

Rhule has final say on everything in the organization. And unless we hear otherwise, there's no indication from anyone that this has changed or will change next season.

That means there's nothing to stop him from using current and future picks or current players to do whatever he thinks it takes to save his own ass.

I’ve been repeating this for weeks now, but still there are some that believe the 2022 season will be a “year in a vacuum” where Matt Rhule will not be allowed to have any influence, power, or control over pthe running of the team.

How they’ve convinced themselves of this I have *no* idea, but it’s somehow become a cornerstone of their Carolina Panthers faith.

We are not a quarterback away from competing.

You’re never as bad or as good as you think. I suspect we are closer than most here think. Fix the Oline and the offense will fix itself. Add a D tackle and linebacker then our defense will be improved.

      Giannis

      By Raleigh PF · Posted

      It looks like the Bucks and Giannis are headed for a divorce. He says he's ready to play and the Bucks say that he has told them he isn't. It really doesn't matter except that it likely means the end for Giannis in Milwaukee. He's 31 years old, but still an elite producer.  So, as GM, would you go after him this offseason? Remember, the Hornets have two 1st round picks this year and potentially THREE first round picks next year. What would a trade look like?

      Some homers' opinions of the OTs that we may realistically be able to get at 19

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I agree with you, if all things are equal--assuming we are on the same page as to what that means.  If a DT and OT are there at 19 and you have them equal, which do you take? The DT would be rotational and get 25 snaps a game or so, and the OT is probably a reserve for most of the season.  What if Walker plays out of his mind and Ickey comes back strong? To me, there are just too many variables at T and Morgan met the needs for 2 starters.  Nothing about that screams lets "go OT in round 1" to me. I could see an Edge or a DT at 19 before I see OT.  I could see a TE or S before an OT--and I (personally) would rather have an OT over DT, Edge, TE, or S--but I do not see the logic.  In fact, CB is a position that resembles OT--who do we have behind our starters and are we happy with Smith-Wade?  A CB would be on the field more than a reserve OT.  How is the Walker at LT situation different than the the Bryce situation? He is basically on a 1-year deal and if he is injured, Forsythe becomes Pickett.  Would you take Simpson in the draft?  Dont get me wrong--I usually agree with you  and I get your point.  I am an OL guru--but I just do not see this particular group of Tackles making us better than Walker.  In addition, I think we can address OT once the Ickey situation clears up.  Short arms, poor run blocking, issues with strength--I am simply not impressed with the OTs.  For clarity, "developmental" refers to players who are still a year or two away from starting.  We are all developmental, but there are prospects who need a season to transition to the pro game. I see 1--maybe 2 OTs who could step into a starting role right now. In college, for example, taking snaps under center requires a different approach than blocking for the shotgun.  There is less to learn if you play a position that does not require much adjustment to transition to the NFL.

      Canales doesn't sound all the way sold on Bryce

      By pantherclaw · Posted

      The natural progression of ANY QB is to take more control of the offense.  Which is all Dave said. He doesn't have a narrative to push. He is says what is the natural thing to say in this situation whether it's Bryce, or any other QB.  THE THREAD TITLE ALONE TWISTS THE NARRATIVE.   so yes, many of you refuse to acknowledge anything other than your screwed perspective, for whatever reason, when it comes to Bryce.  Y'all have a great Easter.
