If I recall @hepcat states that Cam did meet with Watson and that’s probably what got us in the door for an actual meeting from the start.

As far as I know Cam and Deshaun talked about the opportunity on the Panthers and from what I heard, if Cam had said something negative, he would not have met with the Panthers.

I'm sure the two of them playing together and being close to home is why Watson won't shut the door on the Panthers.

I don't expect to hear anything from Cam meeting with other teams until this Watson saga closes. If Watson is not here, Cam won't be back. I believe Cam was a play they made last year when Darnold bombed to get Watson back in the door, and I fully expect Cam to be the back up if Watson is the starter for the Panthers.

That’s good. Cam doesn’t hate this franchise like a lot of folks thinks he does. He has a genuine love for the city and state of NC. 
 

Tepper did well by bringing him back. Let’s just hope it works to our favor in this

If I was Matty Ice I wouldn't budge off of my NTC. Make ATL stick to the contract or cut his ass

Do you value $40m over being invited back to the Falcons org ever again while Arthur Blank and his family still own the franchise?

How pissed is he? Like I’m gonna ruin this fuging franchise pissed?

No idea. But sh*t his sister in-law calling out Schefter on Twitter for lying about the Falcons informing Matt Ryan that the Falcons were pursuing Watson (they didn't) shows me it's bad.

This whole thing is a sh*t show lol

Wonder if the owners fight the union on NTCs in the future. This Watson thing has kinda put the league on pause.

    • Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.
    • What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.
