The Watson Thread - Part Deux

Recommended Posts

Some of these "visits" might be his agent trying to get Deshawn feeling better about the Panthers.  Falcons....hometown team, poo roster.  Saints...cool team in the Brees / Payton era...no money now, best player in 2021 might go to jail and Michael Thomas I guess might play in 2022?  But in the end, the agent knows Tepper will back up the Brinks truck for Watson and that is what the agent ultimately wants.  He doesn't care if Watson wins a ring, he wants his 3% of Watson's next contract.  We may have a poo coach but he will put up arcade numbers if we keep all our offensive weapons and find someone to play LT.

If he's exhausting options it's either to drive up the price or we are only his reluctant destination which would make giving up a haul for him moot as we would face an uphill battle in retaining his services down the line.

That's only true from a fans impatient perspective.   He could love option A but when there isnt really a set timeline or reason that a few extra days matter, why wouldnt you go ahead and listen to option B, C, and D as well?  What is his benefit in rushing before considering all options.  That doesnt mean he doesnt like one of his first options.

Jimmy G, went to the NFCG. Bridgewater could never. 

Jimmy G threw 75 yards in the NFC champion game and was carried the entire season by his defense and running game. 

He also was also the reason they lost the Super Bowl. Bridgewater with that running game and defense definitely could get to the Super Bowl.

Garoppolo and Bridgewater are the exact same kinda QB. 
Maybe look at why he made it to the Super Bowl instead of giving him credit he doesn’t deserve. 
Your reason for getting him is the same reason why we signed Bridgewater after he went 5-0. 
Undeserved praise for something he didn’t accomplish on his own.

They keep saying that a decision is likely to come tomorrow - at least thats the prevailing theory now.  And the Houston media and the Charlotte media all believe that Carolina is the leader right now. 

The only way a decision comes tomorrow is if the NFL say there will be no punishment.

    • Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
    • That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have. 
    • Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
