I had a feeling this was what all the restructures were for. I hope it doesn't happen because it would suck not being able to cheer for my team til the owner and qb are gone. 

Exactly,  this is where I am. If this goes down I will never watch a Panthers game until Tepper sells the team. He's the root of the problem.

Well the QB spot may be addressed soon but you can give up on Tepper selling the team.  When was the last time you saw an owner sell his team so quickly after obtaining it?

My God.  Now you think it's a racial thing? Are you implying I'm a racist because he happens to be African-American?  You have no argument so you try to imply my opinion is based on how I did or did not vote. Pathetic. 

Look, I have always appreciated you, Snow, and, no, I'm not calling you a racist, but I do think you're being hypocritical. And, perhaps more to the point, I think you're being way overly judgmental towards Huddlers who would want Watson IF he is not deemed a criminal. But getting back to hypocrisy and making value judgements based upon that, if you voted for either Trump or Biden, then you voted for--what some people would call--a sexual predator. Does that make you a POS human being? By your logic...

You’re going to lose some fans, but you will gain some with a move like this as well. You also will gain some of those fans back if you start winning.

 

Probably worth the risk.

Yeah. A lot of the people saying they would be done with the team are just blowing smoke

2016 and 2020. Now, you know you just got quite a few folks in a “gotcha!!” right there, lol. Hell, with this whole response you did.

 

At first, I was willing to give whatever it took to obtain Watson. That waivered this past year, but if he comes out Friday pretty clean (no felonies), then I want him. 

I feel the same on Watson. If he's not guilty of a crime, but is guilty of just being a young and dumb perv, I'll give him the grace that others won't give him, but who also give grace to those that have done way worse things in my opinion than him. And I don't think that makes either you or I bad humans because of it. Bad people have not been just getting breaks, but have been elevated as heroes throughout the history of this country.

This team is already on thin ice with me. If they go through with this, I'm out. You have to draw the line somewhere and I'm not going to be sitting around on Sundays cheering for a known predator.

I would be seriously close to this as well.  If this happens it will be crystal clear that Tepper is too involved and thus the franchise is fuggin doomed

If, if is always used to brush aside what shouldn't be.  If you are alive you will interact with all kinds of people that if you knew them you would regret having even been in the room with.  There not much you can do if you are ignorant of the fact. Once you know what they are about then you are responsible for your actions beyond that.

Using political figures as some indication of right or wrong is the worst example you could have chosen.  Whether I vote or not depends entirely on what I know about the candidate.  There hasn't been anyone with voting for since it became eligible to vote 42 years ago.  So no, to answer your question neither the former or current dipsh!t is my choice or fault. fug you for making me go there.

Yep. Deshaun would give us that elite qb that we need. I hope they get it done

Speaking as the husband of someone who's survived more than one form of sexual victimization, what would you suggest I tell her to explain how watching a football team win is more important than her feelings?

You can’t win without a top end QB. They cover a lot of holes on a team. Watson would make the team better overall but it will take time to fill the holes. Damned if you do and damned if you don’t. It is ironic him coming to this franchise since we just made JR sell the franchise for being a perv.

How does she feel about the payout Jerry gave to his right hand man to cover up the sexual voyeurism with the Dallas Cheerleaders? It is a neat non-disclosure deal and the league won't touch it for some reason. There are scum bags everywhere.

      Steve Smith on Ron Rivera

      By DeAngelo Beason · Posted

      A friend of mine was involved in building Steve Smith's house and nearly came to blows with him during the process.  Love Smitty as a player, but I've heard very little good about him as a human being.

      The logic is hilarious.  "They have to see what Bryce Young looks like with 10 pro bowlers on offense, otherwise they'll never truly know if he's any good or not."

      Meditation: Reading Morgan,Reasons to bypass Edge and More

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Relax. Burn some lilac and honeysuckle incense sticks--waft them.  Breathe deeply. Sit with your legs crossed and hold your hands away from your bodies and open them while connecting your thumbs and middle fingers.  Close your eyes, then open them to read this.   Some random, radical thoughts that may contradict your calcifying opinions of what the Panthers need to do--No.  do not lock in.  Not yet.  As birds know when to migrate to more hospitable climates, you will know when it is time to start thinking that your opinion is all that matters and anyone who disagrees with you is stupid.  Avoid that pitfall for now. MORGAN'S APPROACH TO THIS ROSTER RIGHT NOW.  Morgan's strategy for re-signing our free agents is clear.  "If you love something, set it free..." Morgan is letting Mays, Rozeboom, Nijman, Rico, Wonnum, etc. enter free agency.  If they return, they do so on team-friendly deals.   Edge is not as big a need as we think. WHAT? AM I CRAZY? Clear your minds of it.  Scourton and Princely will no longer be rookies.  Our starting Edge players (Wonnum and Jones LL) missed a combined 22 games in 2025--of course we struggled to pressure the passer.  Secondly, we did not have LBs that were a real threat to blitz.  Rozeboom?  Wallace?  Puhleeze. More importantly, Wharton, the 5 tech who was supposed to pressure the passer from the inside, sucked a lot.  Our two top DTs were not really known for rushing the passer (A'shawn had 5 sacks in 2014, but for his career, averaged 1.5 per season.  Brown has averaged about 2 sacks per season).  Wharton was supposed to bring pressure from the DT position after sacking the QB 6.5 times for KC in 2024.  So maybe another edge is not the best way to address the problem.  SUMMARY:  improve the ILB play, improve pressure at DT, get a veteran back from IR, and allow your 2025 rookies to improve.  Here is my idea: Move up in round 2 and draft Jake Golday (Cincinnati, 6'3", 240 lbs): A flexible defender with experience as a pass-rushing defensive end, capable of filling hybrid roles.  (If Golday can slide out and rush the passer from a 9 tech or provide pressure from the 5 to free the nine from the WILL LB position, we could take a lot of pressure off the edges) OT:  There are five I would take (realistically) so move back in round 1 and up in round 2:  Proctor (I am warming in him), Lomu (going to be good), Freeling (this should be the guy we target), and Iheanachor--all project to be solid starters in the NFL--trade back and take the best of these. We KNOW we need a starting SAFETY. The draft seems loaded at S in terms of talent.  Working with Jackson and Horn (CB) and Moehrig (SS), I think FS is the missing piece.     So, based on my mood now: 1st TACKLE Trade back and take an OT--sign Nijman or a vet tackle to take the pressure off, but these OTs can start in a pinch. 2nd:  LINEBACKER Trade up and take Golday OLB--if we can't trade back in round 1, and this is my plan, I might take Golday at 19 and hope one of the OTs falls to 51--hope not, but you never know. 3rd:  SAFETY Free Safety:  I think we can take a player like LSU's Haulcy (who will drop to the third, imo) or Clark (who might even be there in the fourth) who can start. 4th:  QUARTERBACK: There could be some hidden, depressed talent to open day 3.  If you get rid of Dalton, or not, here is where you grab some fallen, unloved stock. 5th: WIDE RECEIVER--Pretty deep. Give XL a last chance but groom his replacement. 6th:  CENTER--there are some solid OTs whose arms were too short.  They can be coverted to centers and have superior athleticism.  Find a smart one and take him to groom. 7th: BPA FREE AGENCY:  INSIDE LB, CENTER, Depth
