Imagine being so fuging dysfunctional of a franchise where a once in a lifetime deal for a player falls through because you kept a sorry ass head coach so the player you were trading for picks a team with what is essentially a fuging interim over the one you kept employed.

I've found myself saying this following statement a lot over the last 27 years or so, but here it goes again:

"Only the Carolina Panthers"

Yeah you just pick one and they’re instantly good man! No busts ever! 

Going to laugh so hard when we light the 6th overall pick on fire this year for a shitty QB and then have to draft another one for a new regime while all the morons screamed about how we were offering too much for Watson. 

Ya'll are incredibly dramatic. Rhule or no Rhule we can and will draft one and if need be another. Nobody will force you to stick around either ✌️

Signing Bridgewater to an 3 year deal even though he wasn’t the reason the Saints went 5-0, and signed Darnold’s 5th year extension before he took a snap and had 3 of the statistically worse years as a QB. 
Teppers tenure as owner in one word: Incompetence. 
Keeping Rhule and losing Watson because of it is just another sign of incompetence.

Yup.  And while I wasn't 100% comfortable with some of the packages we were hearing, ultimately I still wanted to get it done.  The truth is, you can't win without a QB.  Another truth is, once you have a QB its much easier to fill in the pieces around them then having to find one in the first place.

If we whiff on Watson and New Orleans gets him, we have essentially locked ourselves into the NFCS basement for the next 10 years.  And if that happens, I suspect it will mostly be because we kept Rhule in place and Watson chooses them strictly because of that and that alone.

That would be 2 first round picks on cheap rookie contracts. If Watson could be had for 2 firsts and had a cheap contract then it would be more comparable…

No it wouldn’t, because Watson is a guaranteed franchise QB. No draft pick will ever be nearly as sure as getting a guy in his prime that has put up elite seasons.

      Many of those posters are still around. The ones who compared him to hall of famers in this and other sports. They're just biding their time waiting to see if Bryce will suddenly turn into a great QB. I think the way you frame it indicates the problem. It's either on one side people who as you put it "don't like him" (in most instances impossible to truly know on an anonymous chat board) or people who need to see him with stacked talent to form a conclusion after hyping up as a one man show a year ago. You say there are discussions to be had but if it involves anything remotely on the side of negative instead of the "everything is awesome" end of the spectrum it is met with talk of what some are now describing as a pathological need to be critical of him. As if the rest of the sports world doesn't have these same blunt discussions whenever he is mentioned. If there were truly other more notable discussions to be had right now that haven't also been discussed endlessly we would be having them. We just had yet another uniform thread. Instead the top 2 threads dominating the front page for the last 24 hours since the first blueprint episodes dropped have revolved around the starting QB. That's just the modern NFL. Some people want to shoot the messenger over that because they don't like the banter that follows 🤷‍♂️

      From the ground up: How the Panthers are retooling Bryce Young's footwork to slow down time

      By rayzor · Posted

      #1 thing you need for any rookie QB (as far as personnel goes) is the OL. Second thing you need is a run game that takes the pressure off the rookie and allows him a chance to grow. run games are just easier to manage for someone still learning the ropes. third thing you need is reliable bail out option receivers who can 1) get open and/or 2) just catch the ball. last year we had none of that in place. this year i think we've gotten together everything that he should have had last year.

      Seriously? That's 34 air yards at best. I have yet to meet a Bryce defender who doesn't have laughably low standards by which they judge QB play.
