If he chooses elsewhere and we ask why and Rhules name is mentioned once, that is a fireable offense. 

Watson strikes me as the kind of guy who would simply talk about the positives of the place he did chose rather than any negative of a place he didn't chose.

Person: Deshaun, why didn't you choose Carolina?

DW: I just felt ______ was the right place for me (and go on to talk about the good things about _______)

If fans know Watson and Newton are tight, why wouldn't Tepper?  Especially when he's going into trade negotiations with Deshaun?

We can all hate on Rhule, it's well deserved, but the blame rests w/Tepper for continuing to be so clueless as an owner.

YES, it’s ultimately Teppers fault. If he had fired Rhule and brought in Flores, etc DW would be on board.

Who is this guy? Guy with a podcast who was a scout for the Eagles? How does he have any idea what's going on? Seems like people are just finding tweets that fit their preferred reality and posting them in here.

what are you even criticizing

He might not be a legit source but I’d bet he is right.  

Watson was so impressed with Rhule and Tepper that he is now entertaining meetings with any team that is potentially interested.

Doesn't look good for the Panthers.  Sounds like we're a fallback plan at this point.

      XL about to turn the corner

      We keep referring to it as Over drafting him like he was really a first round draft pick. We traded up at the end of the first to get him in a deal with Buffalo so that we could grab him and get an extra year on his contract if needed. At the time that sounded like "If he really soars, we can get that fifth year extension automatically". It really probably meant, "We might need five years to really get him up to starting WR speed."  He was basically a second rounder with a potentially meaningless pick as well to pay for those rights. Still, I think that with him we are on the Kelvin Benjamin bubble right now... will he ever be more than just an athlete? Can he really learn to fight and compete for that ball? Can he learn professional routes? Can he handle the fame and more money than he's ever seen in his life? Can he handle all of the pressure a fanbase puts on him? Tough shoes to fill. Not sure I'd want to be in them. I hope he gets it all together soon. A lot, most draftees, can't. Good luck and God bless to the young man. He's got a lot of work to do in a very unforgiving workplace.

      This is the #1 reason I defend Bryce. Everyone around him is learning on the job, including him. But hey in 3 years we could have a talented offense that grew up together.

      Nope. No balling out but he could latch on as a backup elsewhere. I still think he would be the weak link on a ridiculously loaded team that would create problems in the Playoff and while facing other really good teams. His limitations are just to much at this level. I have zero fear of playing him in the future. It's a litmus test for the D, granted the D is pretty awful currently so none needed.
