Hypothetically. I don't think that would be conducive to his ultimate goals though, which is getting out of Houston at all costs. 

So he's kind of picky, but not picky enough to complicate whatever gets him out of Houston?

So? I don't care if you get it or not. They can lie, make stuff up, quote imaginary people, effect people lives all they want to. Doesn't mean I have to listen to their BS or take them seriously. Credentials? Ignore me all you want Journo. I ignore all of your kind and have for years. Your fantasy means nothing to me. Get a real job.

He went 11-5 and 10-6 in his 2 full seasons before 2020.  

It is far more likely 2020 was an aberration rather than it ever being the norm.  Great QBs like Watson almost always lead competitive teams.  

He had his best year. That tells me it was hardly his fault. Looks at his stats and all that. He had an all time great season.

There is a lot of misunderstanding of the law regarding this situation. The fact that he wasn't indicted doesn't mean what he's accused of didn't happen, and it's as iron clad as many make it seem. It likely means that they determined that there either wasn't a criminal act committed OR they didn't believe that it would result in a guilty verdict.

The defense achieved its goal and there will be no criminal charges at this time, so he is now open to a trade / moving forward professionally right before Free Agency begins. Watson frequently, at the advice of his lawyer I'm sure, plead the 5th during this process. That is his right, and it should not be punished for being exercised. During the civil suits, he's much more likely to answer questions. If he says the wrong thing, or it casts doubt of his innocence on committing a crime, this can come back to a grand jury again. It's not a one & done.

This is far from over. There are likely people from both parties that are in the wrong. Just because there was consent to some degree doesn't mean that he didn't cross the line, as well. Even if it's just one victim, that's too many and he should kiss his days in the NFL goodbye. But if it was all one big money grab, then I hope that comes back around as well.

We don't have all the facts, and who knows how much we get. The NFL will paint the narrative it wants, and each of the lawyers will do the same. If you're going to make your own judgement based off the information available, use sources that have nothing to gain from the matter.

U think that?

Just feels like there is way too much smoke for it to actually happen, you know?  Like it feels like it has been talked about so much and we've been the "obvious" candidate for a year now that it just won't actually come to fruition.

I want Watson.  I'm cool with giving up players and 3 1st round picks.  I think people on this forum really, really, really undervalue what it would mean to have a 26 year old franchise QB.  That is a MAJOR problem solved and gives up so much flexibility to make other moves.  We'd be able to attract better free agents to make up for our lack of draft capital those years.  We could make win-now trades because we'd actually have a QB who can help us win now.

I could accuse you of touching my peepee, right now.

there would be no evidence, but that didn't mean it did not happen.

now add the in the fact the Watson has a poo ton of a cash and we live in a world where women get the benefit of the doubt in these situations. we also live in a world where rock star lawyers will gather a group of people with a common interest and pursue the legal route to try and make cash for them and off of them.

sad world, let's move on. play ball.

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      This is the best path forward IMO right now.  Try and get a pass rusher with potential in FA, and those guys as the first two picks? Sign me up.  We have to get another LT in here in case Icky is done for, for Bryce and/or the next QB. Part of me says screw it, build the defense, get Nijman back for LT, and if Bryce can't make it work, he shows it. But then we're just right back in 2027 probably needing a QB AND a LT. I think LT has to be one of the first 2 picks and we hope he's a good one. Every move right now to me should be about building the team that's ready made for a QB in 2027, whether that's Bryce or another rookie.

      By Panthero · Posted

      Given that the immediate impact we need at edge. We almost certainly address that in Free agency, not in the draft. Same with Linebacker, unless Styles or Allen is still there at 19. I think the same for OT.  What is the position that we could draft in the 1st round and get immediate help in the first is how im approaching their decision-making  I know ill get dragged for this, but im thinking they go DT in the first. A guy that can play right away and be a complement to D.Brown to wreak havoc at the LOS.   So unless a top tier LB is there, I think DT will be the move.

      Cam Newton & Steve Smith Sr. break the silence after 10 years

      By ok2h8pep · Posted

      I think people forget that by his last season Steve Smith had the ass and he played like it - and for no really good reason other than that other stars were emerging on the team and he didn't want to share the spot light.  He was more of a locker room distraction than he was worth. He went on to have great performances with the Ravens' but G-man made the right move allowing him to move on from here.  I personally think it was addition by subtraction and we don't have a super bowl run with Smith on the roster. Steve Smith remains a narcissist who I've never seen internalize his own culpability when it comes to his relationships with others - it's always somebody else's fault as to why he was forced to act like an asshole. This video is a product ad.  I'm cringed that either of these two Panther greats are party to it.
