If he doesn’t want to come here it’s a moot point.  He already has declined to meet us once so it’s not looking good.  

Sources say it’s because he wanted Miami so there was not point. Miami is out and sources are saying he’d be willing to come here. That doesn’t mean we are his first choice. I think it’s likely that the Texans want him to take our offer because it’s apparently the best. I don’t think this is anywhere close to a done deal but I think it’s naive to think we have a zero shot in this situation.

A dark horse team that would make sense would be Indy.  Get the support of all-world RB Jonathan Taylor  and play in a weak division vs the Jags and Texans x2 per year.  

Why would the Texans trade him to a team in their division? That makes no sense. In NFL even if an opponnent in your division offers you the house, you still take the deal outside of your division.

Texans probably are creaming their pants at the thought of Watson going here. Outside of their division, willing to give up the farm, and we're not close to a Title but Watson will make us better. Perfect for the Texans.

Dude from Houston radio just said it's us, Philly, and the vikings. But yeah, we're bidding against ourselves

Lmao you're still stewing about that? As if running to the media to tell them we are "all in" and "money isn't an issue" gives us more leverage over the Texans right? Have a good Saturday!

At this point I doubt anyone knows jack poo about the situation.  He wants to meet with potential teams and until then anyone who says they have a source or knows what is going on is full of poo.

And now it's being reported he will have no issue waiving his trade clause to go to us. But, but, we were told he wouldn't want to come to Carolina per the amazing posters on the Huddle.

Yeah. Lot of people in here tripping over themselves to tell us he didn't want to be here and we were the only team interested.

Oh for sure. Now it just comes down to asking price. I've accepted we will give our all in this but I cringe at how we've signaled our desperation which has inevitably driven up the price. I can live with giving up picks I guess but two really good starters on top is steep.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
