Houston has less say in this than some people think.  If they don't let him go to NO (and DW doesn't waive for us), they get nothing.  And have to pay for it.

It could definitely become a very tough situation for Deshaun if the Panthers are offering the better trade package to the Texans but he decides he wants to go to New Orleans. It could cause the Saints to give up more than they originally offered. Which is good for the Panthers either way.

Winning also doesn’t happen when you change coaches after two years

Any facts for that claim ?

An owner does  what he must to right a franchise. 

these names ring a bell   Steve Wilks.  George Seifert  there are others 

the Nfl is a different world now 

the hole Rhule  has put the Panthers in is  well known and owner enabled it

It’s not the act of changing coaches that prevents the winning though. It’s hiring the wrong coach. Then keeping the wrong coach. We will pay and continue to pay for that regardless of if changing coaches has a negative correlation.

What gets the press and the criticism is often the final result of an event, when the reality is many important things fail due to a series of bad decision-making that preceded the event.

He said it doesn't look good. That's not the same as saying we're out.

Browns are out and he said Panthers headed in the same direction… hence out.  Learn how to read, people.

So Watson travels to meet with Atlanta  (which shows his interest). Saints owner is like “oh hell nah” and flies to Atlanta to meet with him a second time. Meanwhile Tepper and Rhule are sitting on their ass while looking deep in each other’s eyes and saying “we’ve got this boo”. Sounds about right 

See, Tepper's mistake was bringing his wife to the meeting ... instead of a handful of cheerleaders.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
