I didn't say it would happen, I was saying I am hoping it will happen.... There is a difference.

In all seriousness, the roster isn't all terrible.... I just think they need proper coaching.

Our roster is actually pretty good outside of a few glaring, extremely important spots.  That being, MLB, LT and QB.  No big deal LOL.

There's the part of me that is utterly thrilled this deal fell apart.

Then I think about the fact that this franchise was willing to do something incredibly stupid because of an owner I have no confidence in making rational decisions. 

Getting a franchise QB IS a rational decision. That's why Tepper has pushed hard for one the last few years. It's the most important thing in sports.

There's a big difference in knowing what needs to be done and knowing how to do it.

Saying "we need a great quarterback" makes sense.

Moving from that to saying "let's trade for Jimmy Garoppolo" for example, not so much.

And the Watson trade was always a "Gift of the Magi" type proposition. That's just not the smart way to go if you really want to build a complete team.

It was a long shot the Panthers were getting Watson all along. Falcons have the advantage of being his home town and once he decided to go home to Atlanta it was over. Everything else is irrelevant. 

The guaranteed years on the contract he requested was just leverage to negotiate with Atlanta.

So maybe FO discipline was why Watson dropped us?

 

 

The Panthers most likely knew they were out of the race by that point. Deshaun was using the Panthers offer as leverage in his contract negotiations with the Falcons.

      FLA showed everyone it’s not about superstars. they bullied the best line in the NHL into obscurity. they played hard, were in the right positions, and ran over everything that got in their way.

      That’s really not what you said and when I even expressed doubt as to your intentions with the post you doubled down and remained unclear on whether you were trying to drag Dean Smith for whatever reason. You just got the facts wrong, which if you don’t follow the local college programs like you say then maybe you just were mistaken and thought Smith didn’t win championships or have legit superstars, and that is ok, but you just doubled down when my first post was more corrective than anything. I’m not sure what you expect posting objectively false things like “RBA has a lot of wins with nothing to show for it like Dean Smith” (paraphrasing) on a message board with plenty of UNC fans. I’m not taking it as a personal affront, we can agree to disagree, Dean Smith’s legacy fortunately will not be affected by this conversation. Screw the (Florida) Panthers?

      Bring in the free agents and trades.  Florida is the best team and unless Tulsky makes it happen, it’s more of the same…which isn’t bad…but it’s time to win a goddamn cup.
