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.

      Micah officially requests a trade

      By TD alt · Posted

      You see, I just don't subscribe to a cookie cutter type of philosophy when it comes to trades or team building. Every situation is different. Many may disagree, but I think that FOs that can't draft impact-players beyond the first round aren't really viable.  Just for argument's sake, because we all know this hypothetical trade is as realistic as the moon being made of cheese, Micah is a young dawg really just beginning his prime and is arguably the most valuable pass rusher in the league. He could realistically play at a high level for at least the next five to seven years. Parsons' current trajectory is Canton. That being said, he's not some old merc that fits the mold of "one piece away," he's a core piece to any defense for the better part of the next 10 years. Pass rushers of his caliber and age don't generally become available, so, sure, he'd help an elite team, but he's also a fit for a younger team that's building. I know that you don't agree, but it's all good. I respect your rationale.

      By pantherclaw · Posted

      Here's my not important take on this subject.  Who wouldn't want a pass rusher of his consistency?  I would absolutely love to have him on this defense.   Would I give up Brown in a trade for him.  Nope, I would never do that.  Interior linemen are way to important to be settling for whatever you can get at the position.   Would I trade 2 firsts,  plus fork out a big contract for him?   Without knowing if Young is for sure going to be our long term, franchise guy,  there is no way I'd be okay with letting go 2 firsts. As for the contract that he'd demand, I just dont get caught up with NFL contracts.  They have been out of control for decades.  So I really dont get upset over big contracts. It's just a fact of life in the NFL.  You HAVE to pay for talent.
