It's a clusterf*ck and that's why this is dragging on so long.

Atlanta is Watson's #1 choice. But they don't offer the best trade package to Houston. And they'd be enriching a division rival to make a trade work (most likely).

Panthers probably still have the most assets on the table to trade for Watson. The Panthers are probably the Texans preferred trade partner.

Saints are a wildcard. They don't offer the best trade package most likely, maybe why they needed a second meeting with Watson. They need to win over him personally over the Panthers.

fug your excitement!! Let's just build a team that can win consistently.. 

If your not excited to have a football team in your city that you can watch and support then you're not a fan anyway..

So you have to be excited knowing your team is going to suck? Alrighty. That's some weirdo poo I can't understand, but cool.

I honestly think we give Deshaun a better chance at winning than the Saints do. 

I do to.. And so do most analysts if they truly breakdown the roster..

But he has finally choice so let's move on and live with it..

This is the only way Watson comes to the Panthers. 

Atlanta backs out. They can't trade Matt Ryan and free up the salary. This has to happen. Watson is going to Atlanta if they can make it work. Period, the end, goodbye.

Houston prefers the Panthers offer over New Orleans. That or the Panthers up the offer to something even MORE crazy. Houston has to agree to the trade as well as Watson waiving his no trade clause.

That's it.

Big if, and since the salary cap doesn't exist to NO because they just kick the can. How exactly will it hamstring them? 

I guess we’d have to see what they would give up but Inability to replenish via draft would hurt. I don’t think their roster is particularly good aside from a few pieces. Jordan and Jenkins are long in the tooth. Michael Thomas is a question mark and is almost 30. Atlanta is poo too. With a younger roster, I think we are in the best spot if we somehow only gave up picks.

After labeling as opportunists and attacking the family of the child Britt Reid nearly killed in a drunken crash you are worried about abuse now?

This literally makes no sense at all.

Give it another shot...

As for the regular programming, is today the new drop-deadline for a Whip-It-Out deal?

If not today, when?

    • Every team does it's homework. More so than any fan.  Brooks, had he not been injured, would have been a first round talent.  I have zero problems with the team (Dan Morgan and company) drafting Brooks in the 2nd.  He is a fantastic talent.  As far as risk, this is the NFL.  Any and every player is exposed to the same brutality that the NFL is.  Despite Brooks latest setback, it doesn't cost the team much.  Our running back room is stacked.  Could they have drafted someone else? Sure. No promise that someone else would have made an impact last year.  Or this year.   When it's your job to do what Dan does, I pray you get it all right. Lord knows that there isn't a single GM that gets it all right.   
    • Dang, we might not be able to create the same magic from last year!
    • If we were a solid winning organization most of us would have no problems with this selection. We would have had a capable starter in place to allow him to be eased into the rotation. If were told prior to the draft that he had been completely cleared health wise, we "probably" wouldn't have a ton of reservations about this selection. If we had picked this young man on Day 3 of the draft most of us would have no problems with this selection because we wouldn't have had to use draft capital to move up and get him. Unfortunately, none of the above were true 1)  We were a terrible team in 2023 and needed an immediate impact player. 2)  He was hurt near the the end of the 2023 NCAA season. We traded up to get him even though we knew he wasn't medically cleared to play in 2024. 3) When training camp started we were hearing stories that the knee wasn't ready. That alone should have raised some red flags. I personally would have red-shirted him in 2024 in order to have him ready for 2025. We had Chubba as our lead back and other guys to fill the #2 and #3 spots on the depth chart. There was no need to rush Brooks unto the field in 2024. Here's our draft history in the 2nd round between 2021 and 2024 2021 TMJ 2022 No draft choice. We picked Matt Corall in round 3 (#94) as our only Day 2 pick. 2023 Jonathan Mingo 2024 Jonathon Brooks. We have taken 4 skill players on Day 2 of the draft for the past 4 years who have contributed absolutely nothing to the offensive side of the football. 3 are no longer on the team. Two of them are no longer in the NFL. One  could possibly never start a game due to a knee injury. This type of poor drafting is why this team has been so bad for the entire decade.
