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.

      If you need some ‘chills’ to start your Friday….

      In January 2014, I posted this on another forum.  Seems like it fits again:   Do you remember cheering for the rain? Trying to sleep after “The no-call”? Do you know who needs to "Ice up, son"?   Remember pleading for .500? Thinking there’s no catching the Saints? Punting to Buffalo and knowing how it was going to end?   Do you remember how you felt about Kalil’s ad? Or the fan’s follow up? Gruden’s interview with Cam?   Do you remember Clausen being the steal of the draft? Will you ever forgive Mel Kiper?   Did you cry as Jake said his goodbyes? Do you remember the game that cost Gruden his job?   As fans chant “Luuuuuuke,” do you still hear “Moooose”? … “Hoooove”?   Do you recall changing the diaper? Paddling the boat? Being happy just hearing the name Smoot?   Do you recall the day when it hurt to say “Keep pounding,” and you felt you’d lost a close friend?   Did you hunt the net for Bojangle’s commercials? Have you seen a Cajun’s bare butt?   Do you remember the sunken feeling when Smitty was caught from behind and didn’t get up?   Sports Illustrated’s prediction?   Were you angry at Janet for stealing the spotlight? Does “X-Clown” still give you chills? Do you sing the wrong words to “Day-O”? Whenever you hear “He Hate Me,” do you also hear Rosinski finishing the sentence?   Did you like Seifert a little less when he let Walls’ streak of games-with-a-reception end? But nothing compared to letting Steve go, right? Do you remember that invincible feeling you had when we won the first game of 2001? Do you recall who our division rivals were?   Do you remember thinking “Just wait ‘til Bazooka’s healthy”? How about that weird grin you got watching Kevin Greene fire up the D? Or being undefeated at Ericsson?   If your answer is “no,” we happily welcome you as a new fan of our beloved team. Trust me, we’ll be happy to explain all of these and more to catch you up. For the rest of you, it’s been entirely too long since we were alive after week 17. But every question that you answered “yes” to makes this all the sweeter. Welcome to the playoffs.
