I don't believe this is true, but I just had a thought. Maybe Panthers were playing 4D chess the whole time. Met with Deshaun, agreed to bring him over but kept it under wraps, had Deshaun reach out to Falcons and express interest in heading home, get both the Falcons and Saints to mess up their preexisting plans, causing Falcons to either trade or alienate their QB, have Saints fail to extend TA, and after the damage is done just say "Carolina is my team". I mean, that would be absolutely legendary if they were able to do that, as well as low-ball the Texans by only negotiating with teams that can't put together good packages, meaning our trade offer may not be as generous as we thought!

I guess we should just never trade or draft for a qb ever again 

All depends.  Who the QBs is and what the state of the Panthers are IMO. 

Right now we have weak coaching that is on the hotseat.    One that was suppose to be building this team from the ground up.  Change in coach next year only restarts that to a large degree.   Doesn't sound like the best time to be trading away your draft captial for the next several years. 

I was willing to say fug it all and endorse the big gamble pre scandal.  Because Watson is great.  I mean, I know that just as much as anyone here.   

but I think there is just the reality you now have to factor in the future lawsuits and all that happened in regards to Watson.   That makes a big gamble and even bigger one.   Plus, regardless, I think we now have to simply question some aspects of Watson.  Best case scearnio with his scandal is that Watson is a horrific decision maker in life.  Not really the ideal quality you look for in such a massive investment.  He also literally signed that massive deal with Hou and then demanded out.  Again, Hou was Hou.  Not like he signed that and something changed.    Even if it were true he was  100% framed by women all those women...it has highlighted some caution flags about a massive investment in him. 

I think drafting a QB made the most sense for Carolina.  And they probably should wait until after this draft and let our new HC do it.  I pretty much have accepted the fact the Matt Rhule era will be a black hole in Carolina's history we will all wish never happened and just have to accept that.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
