No chance. I think they'll demand Burns and push hard for Chinn. If we trade for Watson I fully expect Burns to be a Texans.

The price they are demanding is ridiculous for someone who will probably still face a suspension for at least 8 games. 3 firsts (including #6) and a minimum of two key players (essentially 5 firsts) we have no offensive line.

Yeah. I should have specified FS. Deep safety is not his game. 

Agreed. Occasionally that cover 3 safety is going to roll over and drop deep just to add wrinkles, but he was covering the deep third way too much last season. He needs to be closer to the LOS the majority of the time.

I think people are forgetting he has two past torn ACLs too - one in college, one in the NFL.

You don’t have to believe me but there is some contractual obligations with the “no trade clause” that have to be signed off on even before teams meet with Watson like he wants to.

so paperwork and what not.

Which I honestly believe he told Philly “no” straight up which is why “they are no longer interested”

Right. There is a lot on the administrative end to be done before Watson can speak with other teams. And while I’m sure they’ve discussed the framework of a deal, no way they were close to closing anything while his legal status was up in the air. Didn’t exactly benefit either team to put all of their cards on the table until the criminal stuff cleared.

Nah dudes, the gods favor the bold. Trading away our best picks from the last 2 drafts plus the next 2 future picks is not the recipe for success. The problem around his is we've adapted a losers' mentality. It's understandable as we've been losers for a long while but we've rebooted. Rhule may suck. He hasn't proved himself yet it's true but the staff this season will be completely different. We've actually signed some very respected nfl coaches this off season. 

I have no idea if the last staff was all Rhules fault or not. Definitely possibly. Probably. However, these guys have repeatedly shown the willingness to admit a wrong and move on and I must admit that our staff looks much better so Rhule won't have any more excuses. We have cap space and a high draft pick. After that it's empty so I'll trust them to fix that. 

I'm expecting we'll get our QB, Pickett!!, and after that BPA as we'll have cap space in FA and this season there are actually good players that shouldn't cost too much. I need to be positive about something. After this virus we now how this war. That poo is only a few miles from where I live now so I really need the distraction that sport offers us. Panthers have a great opportunity this draft and our staff has improved dramatically. 

If we can't depend on other Panthers' fans to have our own backs then how can we expect anyone else to have it? If we crap on ourselves what can we really do when others crap on us? I'm sick of the bellyaching, crying, complaining "fans". So, when things get tough you just complain. Do you also run away? Hide? Or do you challenge those who would decide for you? I'll always stand with my boys, my fam and my nation. Carolina Panthers for life.

I’m going to say the longer this goes probably means he isn’t coming here. If we already had a deal on the table from a year ago and he was interested, I would think we would have already heard he was a Panther. I don’t think it’s happening honestly.

Hang in there, I’m sure he’s just taking time to decompress after his court hearings Friday.

All in all the risk certainly doesn't match the reward, bad knees no offensives line and trading away the ability  to build a team around him, while also giving Rhule a built in excuse for failure.

    • Hate to say it but we can't fire DC right now. He was basically forced to work with BY as part of his conditions for being hired and hasn't really had the opportunity to get a QB of his own. That's not a good look when you're interviewing new candidates. A coach has to be given the chance to do his job with players that fit what he does and DC hasn't been given that chance. Fire him and you're putting another box on the list to keep coaches from coming here. Plus, Morgan needs to be given another year as well so he can either show he's can have a successful draft or he's a bust as well so the whole damn show can be flipped and started over with a president of football operations and build from there. No more hold overs. Empty the damn building and start with a brand new staff. 
    • It's both column A and column B. Bryce ain't going to make it as an NFL starting QB. At least not here and probably not ever, the physical limitations just can't seem to be overcome consistently. And that's a shame because, well, he's a good kid and I wish it had worked out for him and us. But also, this ain't working out here as a team. We're poorly built from bottom to top. There's no consistency in coaching, there's no team identity, there's no grit, no depth and seemingly little plan or resistance to market influences that get us to buy high and sell low. We have a few guys we call star players that would, well, be starters on other teams, and a crap ton of starters that would be back-ups, bench sitters or free agents outside of this organization. No QB is going to come here and have much success. Much like Rodgers with the Jets, we just don't have fug all for a team. The QB, no matter the pedigree, can't pull us out of the mudhole we have created for ourselves as we've wallowed over the last seven years. No matter how high we draft a QB here, we'd just be planting a seed on rocky soil. It wouldn't survive. Look at Mac Jones and how he has played over three games in San Fran. He was supposed to be a total career washout, another 'Bama Bust. Guy looks like he can handle the game, because he has a well coached, professional team around him. One that has a lot of injured stars, but still fights to win. And you can look at Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold, two guys who washed up on our deserted desert island and floundered mightily here. But man, put them on solid teams and they both are living up  to their original draft status. To be perfectly honest, this poo won't change until we, as an organization, change down deep. There has to be a total sea change here. We can't make the owners go away, but we can pressure for them to blow this thing completely up and hire in a handful of consultants, perhaps retired GMs and HCs with winning programs in the N-fuging-FL. Then remake it all. Management, coaching, team, trainers, scouts, even equipment folks. Sorry, I'm tired of this pile of horseshit we call a team. It has just eaten alive the careers of many young athletes and all of us fans since the change in ownership.
