some of yall are way way too invested in this. Watson decision is not a reflection of anyone but Watson. its a zero sum game. if he doesn't come here and (its a 75 percent chance he wont) we move on to something else. 

Yes but it is so much fun. The most fun I have had following this teams for a LONG time.

I like Sheena, but whats funny is two days ago, when people were bringing us up as the preferred destination because of the proximity to his home and college, she tweeted out people would be surprised how little that factors into big-time athletes decisions on where they choose to play.

My, my, my how her tune has changed.😂

Naw he’s just waiting to see where Watson lands so he can join Honey Badger, Armstead, OBJ, Travis Kelce, Derrick Henry, and Pat Mahomes who will all demand a trade to play with Watson.

the UGA college kid told me so

You forgot Landry and Julio

I’m just sitting here thinking that’s probably the most depressing part of this.
The Panthers have the ability to sign him, put talented pieces around him and has a staff plus an owner that are head over heels for him. Yet, it seems that he’s looking at the Panthers and saying “Nah I’m good”, or “You’re not my first choice“. What is really seems to suggest to me is there’s something about the Panthers, or there’s someone on the Panthers that he doesn’t want to be associated with. I’d be willing to bet that players or coaches around the league have told him to steer clear of the Panthers because they are dysfunctional organization. 
Which of course is in contrast to the pitch that they made to him.

Everyone in this transaction are belly gazing and throwing blame right now.  They are all wondering why he hasn't decided yet. 

We have the worst record of any team trying to land him right now.   

Some players see that as a challenge.

If I had a dollar ever time a media person changes their turn I would be a millionaire. 
Bet it will changes a few more times. First Panthers were on top, then the Saint got involved and they were on top, then the Falcons got involved and now they are on top. 
Browns are just happy to be here. 
No one knows anything.

This. There is literally no reason why Atl would be above the other three. Btw, that’s not knocking DW. That’s his right. Atl just isn’t a good on field situation.

The "insiders" have been especially inaccurate in this process. You know, you gotta scoop the story first even if it's wrong.

The truth is right now Deshaun probably is concerned with what community would accept him the most. The answer to that is Atlanta, no doubt. Hard to put a price tag on not getting heckled or chastized when out and about. 

That’s gonna happen anywhere. We got a fugton of Clemson fans in NC/SC. I get what you’re saying tho. Just trying to keep the dream alive!

Source of what?

 

Have you not seen all the articles about Tepper pushing hard to chase all these QBs no matter what?

 

That's what I'm referring to.


I have not. No doubt he wants these QBs, but don’t we all?

Giving his staff the green light to be aggressive is different than forcing decisions on them.

Is he forcing them to do things they don’t want to do or not? That’s the ‘source’ I’m asking for.

Seriously though.  It seems like a lot of the chatter from yesterday indicating that the Falcons were in the drivers seat has completely stopped.  Now its like nobody knows at all who hes gonna pick.  Seems like we're back at square one again.

Yeah, I'm not gonna lie, if I had made it to that level, I KNOW playing at home would always be my preference.  But then again, once you reach that level, any place can become your home and you adapt to it.  And I'm about as loyal as loyal can be, I mean, look at me, I'm still a Panthers fan after getting sharted on year in and year out.😂  So, that being said, I have a hard time imagining if I was in DW's position that I would be so overwhelmed and consumed with the opportunity to play for my hometown team that I would forfeit the ability to actually be competitive in better situations elsewhere.

But, I guess we'll see...

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO.

      Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
