The Watson Thread - Part Deux

What a great year to have a bunch of butt munchers at QB in the draft. 

I think you draft a LT if this falls through. 

And Tepper took Rhule with him to Texas?  That is like taking your cock-blocking cousin who knows nobody else to a party.

I told you guys this yesterday. Whoever gets Watson will most likely get Armstead as well

So, the Saints take on Watson's 35 million salary for 2022 AND manage to resign Armstead for what 17 million a year? Hey, that's only 52 million OVER added to their 7 million OVER right now. This cap stuff is ridiculous!

I'm curious if New Orleans can recoup the cap hit once Armstead's contract voids. Right now, prior to the new year, they can extend him and avoid it. They may be out if a deal doesn't come together by 4 PM tomorrow, either on Watson, Armstead, or both.

Whoever trades for Watson (it’s going to be New Orleans) will most likely extend him to help out with the cap situation this year 

Some of you spend way too much time worrying about the cap. If a teams wants a guy bad enough they’ll figure out a way

New Orleans would just obliterate us for years if they get him.  That's the toughest pill to swallow.

 

 

That's the worst part about all of this. I won't be as upset if he signed with Cleveland. But, having to face Watson twice a year for a decade, after we just got done with facing Brees. It's like some franchise's just keep on dominating every year and replace their franchise QB right away with another. It's annoying being a Panthers fan.

    • Actually that 4400 was based on a 16 game season to match Bryce's 16 games this year. Your offense has to be to drive the ball when it matters. Bryce doesn't do that with any level of consistency. If you're building a team that isn't focused on your QB, then fine. Then there's no need to pay Bryce as a franchise QB because literally anyone else will do. If you're going to pay him 50m plus per season, you have to be able to put the team on his shoulders and know he's going to carry the load. So far, when the pressure is on to get it done, Bryce has fallen miserably short of the target. 4-6 to finish out the season and 0-2 when all we need is a win to secure a playoff spot isn't stepping up and proving yourself as a franchise QB. I'd say it's quite the opposite.  There isn't a single coach in this league that would take Bryce over Burrow and very few if any that would take Bryce over Prescott. Hurts didn't have to throw in 2025 because Philly's defense was disgusting and Saquan had a MVP season. But then again, Hurts has shown that he can when it counts, and then there's his signature. Philly runs the tush push to lethal perfection, but that's a play we can't even consider with Bryce. You used 3 QBs from teams that had no defense to show QB stats don't always matter. When we had the worst defense in the NFL, we didn't see Bryce step up and carry the offense and put up gaudy numbers in a losing season because we were playing catch up. It was pretty much the opposite.  What have we seen from Bryce consistently to consider offering him a top 10 NFL franchise QB level contract? At the end of the day, that's all that matters.   
    • I mean, what fanbase has high expectations when you have a QB like Bryce leading your team?
    • If you pay Bryce $50M a year you greatly limit your ability to put the type of team around him you need to have to have a chance to win. THAT is the problem. Hell, we can't win with him on a rookie contract. How the hell are we supposed to start winning with him paying him like a franchise QB and having to make tough roster decisions to accommodate his cap hit?
