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.

Unless the (as yet unnamed) franchise QB is getting sacked 5 times a game.

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.

If it's the most important thing, You pick an OL at the 6th spot, and hope for Bryce next year.

The picks were up there but we did not offer any players

Another year wasted? Good luck with ticket sales

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.

Carson Wentz, Jameis Winston, Baker Mayfield or Matt Ryan....

Please pick up the white courtesy phone.....

I think it's time for Sheena to move on from covering the Panthers.

Person has a similar conclusion regarding the contract question and David Tepper.
