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.

    • I get it's subjective and I said "PFF rated him as" one of the top deep ball passers during that time, which is an accurate statement.  They are still a group of professionals that look at film and data in order to make their judgements/ratings.  These people whose data has been incorporated into a lot of teams' staffs view Bryce's deep throws as some of the best in the league during that stretch.  That tells me that he can probably throw a deep pass vs the Huddle's version of he is small and didn't do it his rookie year so he must not be able to.  That and literally seeing him do it just makes me feel he is more than capable of doing so.   Do you think PFF is skewing their opinion to prop up a QB in a bottom tier franchise?  It's just another group's opinion and I feel is pretty respected around the league currently.  It's not the gospel truth or anything.  
    • I still remember how happy I was that gettlegut was not the GM once he picked Jones, that was a firing pick and well..... If not for the raiders drafting Clelin Ferrell, it was the biggest draft day mistake in the last 20 some years. 
    • He had 251 passing yards. 3 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns. All in all a very impressive game. Problem is I do not envision his rushing ability translating like that over the course of the upcoming season. Yeah it will be something to account for from time to time but one it's not sustainable and two you don't want to put his durability to the ultimate test against a motivated defender willing to take a penalty and a fine. And plus with our backfield. Two 1k yard rushers. That's what they're here for. Then we have a much improved WR room. That means Bryce has to elevate those passing numbers substantially. The fact of the matter is regardless of circumstances it did take him 23 games to surpass Kyle Allen's single season passing yardage from 13 games in 2020. And that is not a high bar by any means. Whatever QB tier Bryce ends up in from here amongst his peers this upcoming season when it's all said and done it will be with his arm.
