Nope. Not what I'm saying. I would like a rookie under a cheap contract become a superstar QB.  I would like to keep valuable assets like high draft picks and cap room.  Then there is the sticky situation of bad press.  Didn't our former owner get ran out for some stuff like Watson is accused of.   To turn around and bring Watson in makes us look like hypocrites.  

Sounds great, but you can spend 25 years taking swings on rookie QBs that don’t become superstars. Ask the Browns. Or the Jets. Or the Dolphins. And even when you hit big, they’re only cheap for 4-5 seasons.

That’s why a QB like Watson is so valuable even with the warts. Stud QB. Young. Probably a 10-year fixture. 

There are definite team-building issues, but assuming Carolina doesn’t give up too much in the way of current players, an elite QB turns last year’s team into a division winner in 2022. Can Carolina get away with flipping McCaffrey for a first and third and flipping those assets + 2021 First + 2022 First + 2022 Second + Darnold + two young players for Watson? If so, then it’s worth it.

It sounds to me that there is very little evidence of major wrong doing....at least that's my hunch.

It’s just so weird bc Hardy and Peterson immediately got in trouble criminally and the nfl acted swift as well, but this, it’s crockets. So odd...

Put it this way, the only time I will watch a game is if I have nothing else to do and the game on has the Panthers playing someone.  That someone is who I will actively cheer for, if I even watch the game at all.

Come off the ledge until at least after the draft.

We were talking about Cam yesterday. I'd prefer him over Watson 1000%. His leadership and energy is world-class.

If Watson comes there are plenty of other players on this team, you can cheer for them.

If we had a magnifying glass into the lives of NFL players, owners, you might quit the whole game all together.

Truthfully, for Watson, after all that Carolina would probably be the most comfortable place for him to fall back and rebuild his reputation.

I have to give Watson the benefit of doubt because none of this came up until the slimy lawyer got on his case for not playing ball with the team owner, his friend and all of a sudden...cases and cases where before there were none.

Right....had Watson not gone public with his desire to leave Houston, would any of this have even come to light?  I wonder....

No sir, you can take your blind eyes somewhere else. fug David Tepper and Deshaun Watson.

It was an attack any way you look at it. He was in a heated argument with management.

I like Watson as a player a lot. I'd just prefer Cam because he's just as dynamic, bigger, stronger, less drama and we could keep our players AND he'd be CHEAPER.

If this is happening, just hope we're not bidding against ourselves like we did for Darnold. Even if he's cleared of all wrong-doing, his stock has dropped. We shouldn't be shelling out 3 firsts & multiple players for this dude. 

This year's first, next year's first, CMC, and a defender is probably the price. The old idea of 3 firsts, more picks, Chinn/DJ or whatever is even more crazy now.

I'm a Panther fan. Been one the whole ride. I'm not happy about it now but I'm on this train for good. The doors open and you step off friend...take care.

There’s also the counter-point that Cam is a pretty shitty QB now unfortunately

      Bryce Young will have a Brees career arc. I doubt it will be with the Panthers.

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      JC not this ish again.  Brees: 80,000 career passing yards 5 seasons of 5,000+ yards 10 seasons of 30+ TD passes Career completion percentage of 67.7% 37 games where he threw 4 TDs.  Best WRs were Colston, Thomas, Cooks, Lance Moore and TE Jimmy Graham/ Shockey. The only first rounder was Shockey (and Bush but he was a RB). Thomas was a stud... drafted with the 47th pick. That was the highest picked WR he threw to. 47th. Graham was a stud. Shockey was a stud. The rest of the receivers would have been jags on most other teams. Brees never had a first round WR to throw to.  Colston never even made a pro bowl. Oh, and no spygate to benefit from.  Prime Brees was UNBEATABLE in the dome. A bad day for Brees was 2 TDs. He was a 4d chess grand master.  Brees has a wallet that probably says bad mf’er. Bryce has a goofy ass backpack.  Listen, Drew Brees put up unreal numbers throwing to mostly jags in an era that highlighted running the ball, the receivers could get mugged and QBs got lit the f up on the regular without penalty. Hell, they went so far as to make a tv segment (jacked up!!!) to applaud the violence of the game. He never even had a first round WR. Brees was a better QB than Peyton Manning. There, I said it. Bro is on the short list for best QB ever.  This is facts with some of my own personal opinion mixed in, but mostly facts.  Those who keep pushing this narrative, did y’all actually watch Brees play? His game is in no way similar to Bryce’s. Brees on this team is a deep playoff contender and Tet would look like prime megatron.  Im sorry y’all, I know I sound like a complete homer, but when I hear hyperbole that is insultingly obtuse, it gets under my skin.

      Moved to 4-3?

      By Moose Hoover · Posted

      No, surely not. He's at least 4-9 if not 5-0!

      That's cool but he should really get some help with producing these.  The content is good.  But it's like he's filming a 90's CRT computer monitor with his cell phone camera inside of his bathroom.
