Looking back would you rather have Watson and a vet LT or Icky/Corral


Recommended Posts

Okay Huddle GM’s. Slow week with news so I figured I would open up a discussion on what YOU would rather do as GM of the Panthers if you had a choice. 

The Watson update threads were a thing of magic. The overall sense *at the time* was that the majority of posters here on the board were open to the idea of landing Watson. Knowing what we know now, would you rather have:

1. ( Watson/ vet LT) for the exact trade package the Browns gave up knowing that you have a top of the league franchise QB

OR

2. (Icky/Corral) even though we may have to endure another season of Darnold we get to keep future assets/picks and young players. Much less known with Corral as a franchise QB but you keep your cap/draft picks for the future.

Icky/Corrall.

Who knows what these future players could be. Little Sewell, another WR1 to replace Robby next year, a true 4-3 DE.

Now we also dont have to pay him $40mil a year for a QB and tie up all your salary while having Brian Burns contract coming up too. I'm glad it worked out the way it did.

I could not have been more pleased (or surprised) with how our 2022 NFL Draft turned out.

Ickey / Corral. 

If we had Watson, we'd be the ones awkwardly trying to get anything we could for Darnold like the Browns are stuck trying to get anything for Mayfield. Mayfield is considered a better player by the league. We'd be getting even less interest in Darnold.

We'd be hoping that BC can be a starting LT and pencil Deonte Brown or Elfein at LG.

So Icky has to earn the starting job and Corral does too? 

Doesn't one help the other? Way to metally coach up your stars.

Everybody already knows their role on a professional football team.

They know who's a starter and who's a role player why play these silly games? Why waste time and money?

You take Icky and you put him on that damn field and tell him "you're going to be the best tackle in Panthers history if you put in the work and learn".

You give Matt the friggin' football from day one and you tell him "We brought you here to lead this team. YOU are the future. Put in the work and learn and YOU could be the best QB in Panthers history".

The future shall not be OVERRHULED!

He's a college junior that ran an RPO offense. He is simply not ready to be thrust in an NFL game day 1.

    • Even all the rookie QB's who haven't played a single snap ranked above him? I really hope Bryce is using all this as motivation in some capacity. Because if this doesn't motivate him I don't know what will.
    • Of course. That’s what I said. Bad goalie play and the style of defense. Florida played amazing.  Rods decision to stick with a struggling Freddie cost us. Plus, Florida may be more talented than us and they play a very heavy game. Something we don’t do well minus Svech.  Glad the rangers lost. 
    • You should because before the preseason fiasco and the start of the season fiasco, all the reports, including Frank’s responses, were that Fitterer and Reich were in lock step. Remember the press conference where Fitterer talked about both he and Frank saying who they wanted before and after the draft process and that they both picked Young and it was glorious? People got hung up on Tepper saying the point guard analogy in April when Brown was interviewed by a Panthers reporter describing how a QB needs to be a point guard in huge detail. That was in February. I think Tepper was just parroting Brown to make himself look like he knew what he was doing. Mrs. Tepper hugging Bryce always overshadowed CJ saying how he called her Mama Tepp. We fuged up as a team, probably more so because Fitterer always said he had Young as his #1 the year before, probably because we looked at all the QBs that year as well. Reich’s love for CJ started when he got on the hot seats for frankly doing a horrific job. He's been in the league a long time and has a lot of media friends and that was a face saving CYA which we know well with many years of Hurney. Still amazing to think how much better the team was under Rhule/Hurney before Fitterer got any control when Rhule was on the hot seat.
