I can especially understand Panthers fans who have female friends and family who work in massage parlors in Charlotte. Imagine the fear of seeing Watson walking through door. If you don't want him here for moral reasons, then I totally understand. I'm just going by football reasoning.

There is no guarantee we find a franchise QB within the next several years. These kinds of opportunities don't come along. We aren't going to be high enough to draft a guy which means we would have to do what the 49ers did and trade 3 1sts anyway to move up and grab someone that is unproven unlike Watson. QB purgatory is the worst place to be in the NFL and if you have a chance to get a guy you do it.

The problem is that, like with Cam, Watson isn't going to take us all the way by himself. No QB can do that for any team. An elite QB needs a solid team around him and it helps if the D is great too. Our team would indeed be better if we added Watson ... at the QB position. It would not be better anywhere else. So ... what you'd argue is well, we have the QB now let's build around him! Good thought. Except we need the draft picks to do that and we'd lose them getting Watson. And this isn't Madden. You can't just sign some FAs and make some trades to put THE team around Watson. It will take years to build an elite team for Watson. So ask yourself this ... will HE want to go through years of avg football to run the show down the road? Will the fans be able to take that? What you're suggesting sounds an awful lot like Rhule's 7 year plan, lol. Yes, Watson is a better QB but it's just not in the cards.

Yeah totally agree as long as his charges are drop. I’m all for it then, and if you think this team is no better after winning 5 games and most with Darnold is ludicrous.

If the charges are dropped, multiple bidders will drive the price up.

If the charges stick, why would you want him?

You get that we can't just add him without giving up significant resources, right?

Our team is way more than just a quarterback away. And giving up those things (plus the cap) makes it infinitely harder to build a good team around him.

Plus if you do that before his legal issues are resolved, you risk giving those things up for nothing.

So where did u see I ever said I wanted him if charges weren’t dropped. I said I would only take him if charges were dropped. Y’all really try to turn poo around on people in this forum damn. So what if price goes up that means he is not in trouble. Then all these people trying to prove someone is guilty before anything happen in court was wrong. I don’t mind spending a lot on a 26 year old franchise qb at all costs. Y’all think Bills came out first year with Allen and had chance at SB?

At what price point would you be willing to trade for Watson? You're the GM, Houston is on the phone, what would you offer?

We already don't have anywhere near enough ammo to get him without severely mortgaging our future. If the charges jare dropped, that price goes up even further, potentially way up.

Yes, we'd have a franchise quarterback. Also a sh-tty team around him, our best draft picks gone for years, no cap room to sign free agents plus Matt Rhule as a head coach.

That is not a path to a winning team.

Nothing close to what they want.

What I would offer, they wouldn't accept.

Nobody damn knows what they want, it’s fugging speculation. Just like everyone saying he didn’t want to play here damn. I don’t care if charges are dropped I’m going all in. Fug better than what we’ve had other than Cam.

They've already put out what they want, and it's been discussed in this thread.

Just for fun what would you offer? What's the max?

Dude he don’t want him no matter what. People say oh I don’t want him unless charges are dropped. Now they say no I wouldn’t give anything up costs to much. They don’t know what it costs to get a franchise qb no more, and rather live in mediocrity. I’m personally tired of being a dogsh@t team.

Watson can't cure the team, man. Why can't you grasp that?

It’s all speculation, like every other thread that said he didn’t want to come here, guess what it was wrong. So nobody knows anything. Just like everyone on here or anywhere that says this guy is guilty. I guess y’all never heard of innocent until proven guilty.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
