Tepper brought a sweaty used car salesman with him to try to sway Watson. 

 

Serves him right. 

If the Panthers had fired Rhule, I think the chances Watson comes to the Panthers is much higher. 

But David Tepper would still be the owner.

I love the impatience of the huddle, and the constant "I'm done with this team" posts when you guys know damn well as soon as we pick top 3 next year and take a franchise QB you will all be back and pretend like it never happened, just like with Cam in 2011

Why this was so important is because, as other have posted, the bust rate is astronomically high on QBs taken in the first round. 

I want to take Willis, but do I know if he will be a franchise QB?  Nope.  So we could very well be picking top 5 for the next 3 years until we find one, and there are no guarantees.  Watson is a guarantee.

I knew Cam was gonna be what he became in his prime, but that was like winning the lottery how that year lined up with him coming out and us having the top pick.  That likely won't happen again.

I exaggerated a bit with the Daniel Jones part but it was like 3 1sts (which are obviously late 1sts) and their guard Ruiz.  That was it.

Houston just signed 2 Olinemen.. I sure Houston is getting a load of picks and a player or 2... Saints are making a dangerous gamble because they are so top heavy with older players on restructured contracts..

From a QB perspective, the owner doesn't really matter.  It's all about Rhule. 

 

He is a lame duck.  Nobody wants to play / coach for a lame duck.       Tepper caused this.

And they had Sean Payton and Drew Brees covering up for that.. Wait till you see 8-28 Dennis Allen ..

The Dennis Allen part is what has me confused.  He “might” be worse than Rhule.  What appeal does NOLA have?  Year round swamp ass and a never ending seafood fart smell?

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
