Multiple Super Bowls really? And you have been loving having the highest paid running back in the league with no viable starting quarterback. Do you not like winning or what?

I still don't know how I feel about us acquiring Watson. We will be giving up a LOT, but on the flip if we get a top tier QB who can come in and immediately make a difference it could well be worth it. 

Watson will immediately be the best QB we've ever had outside of Cam Newton's Super Saiyan year.  And hes only 26.  We could have one of the best QBs in the NFL for the next decade.  You do whatever you can when this situation presents itself (it never has before in the history of the modern NFL).

I dunno, I'm old and have the mindset that defense wins superbowls but, we've had some really good defenses here in Carolina over the years and zero rings, in fact we don't even have back to back winning seasons, I'm willing to try something different if it cost us a few defensive pieces

Exactly. He was basically putting up Kirk Cousins type numbers when the Texans we're actually competitive. His one elite stat season came when they went 4-12.

He's thrown for 4k yards twice and 3,800 while missing a game in another in essentially 4 seasons.  But what ever you have to tell yourself.

And, obviously, giving this franchise the death knell many expected from Tepper. 

Well, we don't know what the official price is yet, so we don't know which players are going the other way. And I don't agree that this is guaranteed to ruin the franchise. The defense was rebuilt from scraps over the past couple of years, so it can be done again, although this time they'll have an elite offense to pair with it, not Sam mf Darnold. 

The Texans are not gonna make the super bowl off of the picks we give them. Let's remember who we're talking about here.

Defense, unfortunately, does not win Super Bowls.  Offense does - powered by top flight QBs.  Chiefs with Mahomes, Bucs with Brady, Rams with Stafford.  When was the last primarily defensive team to win the Super Bowl?

And Brees was also coming off of an injury so severe that the majority of the NFl were unsure he would ever play again, so that isn't really even the same scenario.

It's unprecedented but the price is steep. I believe the prices for Stafford and Wilson should be the benchmarks though. I don't see logic behind paying drastically more. 

I am leaning Watson (make the trade) but I see your points and must admit, they will be the first things that pop into my head if we sign Watson.   Good argument against the field.

...Actually, If he wants to win, CLE is the spot with all the supporting cast. They only need a qb to make a push to get to the next level.  If he wants to wallow in sht for four years come here or go to NO....

Things change quickly. You don’t make a decision like this for “who’s good in 2022.” You make it as “where is the best place to play long term.” Cleveland imo has never had that even when they have talent. They always just seem to bottom feed.

      Official Carolina Huddle Super Bowl LX Thread

      Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.

      I wake up this morning full of rage towards Ronald McDonald Rivera / Gettleman / Hurney

      By strato · Posted

      I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us.

      From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
