There's two positives from the Watson thing.

 

If everything works out Friday, we will have a chance to get Watson. And very well will get Watson. Thus, the fan base will want to watch games and be rejuvenated. 

If that doesn't happen, and we don't trade for Watson. We will suck this year, and Rhule will be fired. I'm not seeing how this isn't a win/win for the fanbase as a whole.

If you need to hire a PI to investigate a player he’s probably not worth trading for 

Tepper probably has a PR firm ready to clean up Watson’s image too 

They would have to be the best PR firm in history. Michael Jackson was never convicted of anything and settled his civil suits out of court. How many us would have let our 10 year old sons go over to his ranch to hang out?  No matter how you twist or spin this, unless Watson is cleared criminally and civilly, trading for him is going to put off a lot of people. This is a monumentally terrible idea.

Tepper is probably guilty of insider trading at some point in his career that probably wouldn’t be impossible to prove. Any unscrupulous personal misgivings might be a little more tricky. But hey look at Richardson!

There is a 0.0% chance that anyone would know this.  Calling total BS

Plenty of people would know, people talk, you have people who work for the panthers, people who associate with the private investigator and people who the private investigator has contacted who could have talked. I mean it makes sense for Tepper to do this if he’s serious about getting Watson. You want to know everything you can before trading for him.

If the private investigator came back and said anything different than "there's a whole lot of allegations and no resolutions yet" then they need to can that investigator. The NFL investigation isn't even finished, and that could result in anything from clearing the man to a multi-year suspension.

Yea I think it’s entirely plausible for Tepper to have hired a PI to check out Watson. It’s not even something that would have been a secret. The attorneys in the case both have PIs investigating each side and investigating the accusers and defendant. Tepper’s PI could have just acted like he’s gathering evidence about the case. There are no laws about deceptive practices in private investigating. My biggest concern is what the PI actually found, and if it’s not as bad as what the public is perceiving about the accusations, how did Watson still sit out an entire season and his charges go before a judge, and why does Tepper still want to trade for him?

I can see him getting Watson and kicking back with him making jokes about it

Talk about a culture change...imagine the guys who will want to come here because we are open to their 'interests' and after creating a safe space for our fanchise QB to do his thing.

It's soooo bad yet some are already excited about the direction. 90's Cowboys without the winning incoming.

      Good film breakdown of Young. Good and bad. Film examples

      Bryce isn't a risk-taking gunslinger.  That's just QB DNA.  No one has ever said that is what we were drafting when we went that route.  That's my point.  That's not Bryce. Can you make Alex Smith throw deep? Sure.  He will occasionally.  In the reverse, can you ask Brett Favre to just take the easy layups? Sure.  He can in moments.  But in the end, they are what they are.  as I have said, Canales probably could win more games with PJ Walker.  And Bryce is a better overall QB than PJ.  PJ Walker would also have much worse games mixed in that Bryce would.

      From what i see, Canales offense requires a QB that is willing to take chances to maximize the offense. XL is also the kind of receiver that needs a qb to be risky to bring out his full potential. Its just a matter of if Bryce is gonna be that QB.

      Baker just played how Baker played.... everywhere but here. He is a risk taking gunslinger.  Always has been.  And last year was asked to be what he was.   Geno Smith was the best deep ball passer in the NFL his comeback season.  Wasn't even close that year.  Again, that's the type passer Canales has always been around in the offenses he has been part of.  The pass game that compliments the stubborn run is the deep chunk play pass game.   And that was his first investment with XL.  My continued point, is the same as going into last season.  It's a bad marriage going in.  The QB doesn't fit the scheme.  Again.  Carrol/Fox/Ron....all paired up their boring football with risk taking QBs.  And again, I'm fine if that is where we are going.  It's not my preference but that's not my argument.  I'm saying if we are doing that, we need a QB that matches it.
