Financially we are in the best spot possible  going forward. A franchise lt and possible  franchise Qb on rookie contracts, allows us to maneuver way better going forward.   The new TV deals are supposed to make the cap go up, so give me the rookies.

But just being a top 5 qb doesn't make you a SB contender. Salary cap can negate a lot of the advantages you get. Add in a vet LT and you're likely looking at 55m per year of cap space vs 6m. That's a lot of other places to improve the team. Corral could end up being good as well, just at a much lower price tag, for now. And Watson's career could be over on a bad hit or more legal BS. It's not just about managing talent on the field, you have to manage the whole picture.

I agree, but the question was Watson and a vet LT or Icky/Corral.

Give me the Icky and Corral.

Is Watson a better QB right now?  Based on what we know, absolutely.  But his cost in terms of a trade and salary cap was too rich for our blood right now and into the future.  I don't think Corral is Watson, but I am also not sure if Watson will be Watson moving forward, either.

Would a veteran LT be better than Icky?  Who knows?  Given our history acquiring veteran OL, Icky is at least as good a bet or better than a vet.  Teams do not let LTs go that are serviceable to great unless they have the replacement waiting to step in, and that is pretty rare.  Dominant LTs are about as rare as dominant QBs, so there is a lot of fool's gold in FA.

All signs point back to the two picks.

Minus the very significant off-field issues with Watson, Watson by miles. Elite QBs are few and far between.

That's the rub though...and the compensation that Houston was requiring, and his salary requirements on top of that.

I don't really care about the comparison.  Corral is a complete unknown, while Watson is a very good and proven NFL qb.  All things being equal, I would rather have Watson regardless of the cost.  

But the off the field issues with Watson are a huge problem even if he isn't going to get punished as a criminal.  If even half of the stories are true, there is a decent chance it will happen again.  So in the end, I am glad Watson is not coming here.  If Corral works out, so be it.

Besides the draft capital it would cost us. The annual salary we would have had to pay for Watson and a vet LT we would have put us in a situation where we would not have been able to keep some of our players and sign any decent free agents.

While Icky and Corral are basic unknowns I believe we got what we wanted from this draft and will watch Cleveland struggle to keep talented players around Watson.

Watson the QB would be great.

 

Watson the cap eater, not so great.

 

Watson the draft pick eater, not so great.

 

The wife was abused as a kid. No way I could look her in the eye and tell her my Panther QB is a sexual predator. 

Agreed.  And I hate saying that, as I always thought Watson to be a really good dude.

Dated a young lady once who had been abused, opened my eyes to that evil.

      Grades are in; how did Panthers do in this years draft

      By Newtcase · Posted

      This was a complete poo show, which is just my opinion of course.  However, this opinion will become fact in a few months and the kool aid drinkers will act like blind squirrels find acorns.  We did nothing to help ourselves in the draft. A first round WR with FOUR dud years in college.  Yeah he’ll be a difference maker against pros with BY at QB.  Dude has heavy feet out the gate which isn’t what we need. An injured RB that will take three years to hold Chubba’s jock. Sanders might be the best pick of our draft.  But only because we’re awful at the position and BY should be a TE friendly QB.  Too bad he can’t catch and block because we need both. Anything good after that would be a happy accident.  The Panthers drafted with the same mentality they’ve had for years.  Buy cheap and hope for value.  It stinks of someone who treats a football team like the stock market, trying to outsmart the next guy and make an easy profit. The only real fix here is coaching up players with extraordinary physical attributes, that’s the NFL.  Instead we try to draft “impact” players with marginal and even questionable physical attributes in the name of value.  My only real hope this season is that we could find a rudder on the coaching side and establish some consistency somewhere in the org.  This reeks of a David Tepper influenced draft though. Take a receipt, I’ll be here to happily take my medicine should our merry band of clowns accidentally got something right.
