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

      https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2024/06/bruins-hurricanes-could-swap-linus-ullmark-and-martin-necas.html The Boston Bruins are continuing to garner more and more interest for their former Vezina Trophy-winning goaltender Linus Ullmark, giving them a chance to be picky about the return. That could exclude much of the league from acquiring the star netminder, with Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman sharing on The Jeff Marek Show that he doesn’t believe teams like the Vancouver Canucks or Montreal Canadiens have the assets to acquire Ullmark. Friedman added that the Carolina Hurricanes could be one of the few teams rich enough for the deal, especially if they involve forward Martin Necas. https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/carolina-hurricanes Expect the Maple Leafs and Predators to be two of the top suitors for Hurricanes defenseman Brett Pesce if he hits the open market next month, The Fourth Period’s David Pagnotta reports.

      Another Bryce breakdown

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      They do, just when. I hate to be pessimistic but it’s all about the QB. I can’t recall a QB situation where a bad QB (not bad stats, but looking like they don’t belong) turned a team around. Peyton Manning had a ridiculous amount of interceptions but he didn’t show his future limitations. Usually, it was picking another QB in the draft. Unfortunately, IMHO, we won’t be really better until we get our Cam v2, someone who can carry the team and not win only if we have a stud lineup around him. That’s why I’m more interested in how the rest of the draft picks do to see if we can actually solve holes like the ones we created losing Olsen, CMC, Moore, Turner/Kalil/Norwell, etc. I want to actually be one QB away not Fitterer’s definition of one player away.

      How to list & hopefully sell PSLs plus season tickets

      I will say once you have been in newer arenas and stadiums with their way better bathroom set-ups, it is such a massive improvement. It clears up a lot of insane lines just waiting around to piss.  I have taken to not drinking at all at older stadiums just so I don't have to deal with planning when to take a piss and what part of the game I am gonna be forced to miss because of it. It's so nice to be in a new arena/stadium with way better bathroom accessibility that doesn't force you to literally miss the game. Not to mention I will actually spend money on booze there then.
