It really seems the news gets worse for Carolina as the hours and days go on 

The longer it plays out is not a good sign for the 3 ring circus that is the Carolina Panthers. Getting shunned by Stafford and now Watson should tell everyone all you need to know. This franchise is a joke.

I mean, Tepper's first choice for HC had Dallas as a high seed and his last QB we placed the highest bid for won a Super Bowl.

If you wanted Watson and he doesn’t choose here, blame Tepper for hiring and committing to the worst head coach in NFL history. 

But also, while I’d like to say the draft picks and key guys are safe, don’t Rhule out a future first and a core player for a different version of Darnold. 

LOL I get you hate the guy, but Rhule is far from the worst coach in NFL history.  fuging Hue Jackson went 0-32 or some poo like that. Calm down.

    • Kind of where I'm at on this also. I think he has the potential to be an all pro caliber guard if he can come back 100%. He's more mauler than quick. Hunt is making 20m per, Moton is making 22m. Moton is a better RT than Icky is a LT so I think the pay comp would probably be about the same there. I don't see Icky as a 28m per season LT. He'll be low 20s and as an elite guard, i think he'd be within a couple mill of that. 
    • I read that Pittsburgh is a possibility.  I think of college QB studs who had some form of mental quirk yet tons of talent--but their issue made being a team leader difficult and it led to their demise--going back:  Jamarcus Russell, Art Schlichter, Jeff George, etc. I think people forget that the QB must not only have talent, but they must lead.  
    • I wish I knew more details, but the NIL money to 20-year olds combined with easy access to gambling sites is a side effect that these kids may not have considered.  To your point,A famous 2009 Sports Illustrated article titled “How (and Why) Athletes Go Broke” estimated that 78% of retired NFL players go bankrupt or face significant financial stress within two years of leaving the league.  I am guessing that ego and $$$ and the thrill of competition (most pro athletes love competition because they are the winners) makes it a powerful temptation.  Throw in the ease of gambling on your phone which is always in your hand, and I see your point x 10.
