Feeling Pretty Good about this

Agreed. We don’t have to play him twice a year which makes it much, much easier to digest. We have a shot at building a complete team now, so that once we do find a solution at QB we will be set…..well once we get our new head coach that is

  I woke this morning thinking and being grateful now that we lost the Watson deal. We have signed 5-7 free agents in places of need. Extended our best receiver and still have money and some draft picks. Watson my have been good, But I feel we really won in what we did. I have hope for the future now. 

Thanks, Kevin Nash.

The overall roster is in a much better place. We still need a QB (and a coach) but if you fire Rhule after this year and hire a legit coach you're basically in the Broncos' situation where you have all the pieces in place minus a QB and then you're in a position to actually lure in a legit vet looking for a fresh start.

I was pretty upset we didn’t get Watson at first, but I will admit I’m glad we didn’t. That’s a lot of guaranteed money for a guy with two torn acls and been out of the league for over a year with legal issues. Good job Panthers I will admit I was wrong 

The Money and lost draft picks would've been too high a price anyway.

100% agree!  Not stuck with contract, Rhule probably gets canned next offseason, Brady will retire soon, Saints without Payton will tear it down soon, and Falcons just pissed off their franchise QB. We have young pieces and are making good moves. We have our picks and more money.

Agreed but I don’t think there will be a vet like Stafford, Watson or Wilson available next season or any time soon. Maybe but it’s rare as hell for guys like that to ever become available and I don’t see any right now on the horizon. Probably need to nab one in the 2023 draft even if we have to trade up to get our guy.

It has been rate in the past but damn if it isn't happening a lot recently. Maybe it's an anomaly or maybe it's the new trend. We'll see.

Some of the greatest gifts are unanswered prayers. I think the DW4 debacle truly humbled Tepper and co.

I regained some confidence in Tepper, he could’ve had Watson it seems had we guaranteed that idiotic contract fully.  Clearly DW asked, we said no then they went to Cleveland and they did it.  Was far too risky a move for the Panthers

I was never excited by the prospect of DW or the price it would take.

I was livid at how Tepper handled the poo show.

Now that it’s over, this is the best possible remaining outcome.  Some face saved.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
