Icky/Corral.

Watson gave Rhule the clearest path to disguise his deficiencies rather than skipping town/getting fired or improving.  His foot is still against the fire, we got a young QB to give a go, and a franchise LT.

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

Easy answer. Icky and Corral. Watson would have been behind our line from last year with zero upgrades available. How well do you think we would do when he's getting planted 2 steps into his 3 step drop?

Paying a player 40 million yearly with serious uncertainty’s if he’s even gonna play this year, while also giving away all our future assets? fug no Watson went 4-12 his last year playing. Do you really think he would make us a contender? I’d rather keep throwing darts and having the potential to create a dynasty then possibly make the wildcard.

I'd rather Have Watson and a Vet LT from a football standpoint

I'd rather have anyone other than Watson from a distraction standpoint

I'd rather have Ickey and our future picks than Watson and no firsts for years (don't even need Corall to factor into that decision) from a front office standpoint

I was always fine with bringing Watson on board if we could get him for cheap because of lack of interest from other teams, but 3 firsts, a third, and two fourths.... HARD PASS on that cost, let alone the fully guaranteed $200+ million when he's about to get suspended for half this season as is and hasn't played in 2 years

I’ll add that I hope Corral looks lights out but for some reason we have to play Sam half the year and he goes 0-9 and somehow we luck into a top 2 pick and get a haul of picks for someone to move up like Miami got from SF or even the Browns got from Philly for Wentz. We aren’t that lucky but wouldn’t it be nice to have our cake and eat it too?

If we finish with one of the first 2 picks we ain’t trading back my guy

Coming from someone who went to Clemson, I am not sure I want a guy who forces his way out of what he felt was a dysfunctional franchise to go play for a team who arguably is the worst franchise in not just the NFL, but all of SPORTS. 

The man literally called Atlanta (this has not been disputed by anyone) and had his childhood team trade their QB to go play for Cleveland. He could've came to Carolina or Atlanta and likely avoided 80% of the public pressure he's feeling now... He's taken some big hits over his career, I'm halfway concerned he has CTE.

Didn’t want Watson with the off field issues. Throw in what it costs to acquire him and definitely did not want. Having Icky should beat out most available LTs. Rookie contract plus the great ones aren’t going to be available. So now we have Icky on a rookie contract and a potential QB on a 3rd round rookie contract and all picks but our 3rd next year. Corral and Icky all day. They might bust, but Icky will be a great LG absolute worst case and Corral costs next to nothing. Losing out on Watson may be the best thing to happen to us in a while…

If your goal is winning a super bowl, it's extremely hard to fathom an avenue where the Panthers get there by trading the farm for Watson. Too many holes to patch up. How do you suppose we accomplish that with no high draft picks and no cap space (since Watson will eat it all up)? So for me the answer is easy: Corral and Icky. Even if the chances aren't great, they're greater than the zero that comes with Watson.

I just want to see these kids play. To me the "rebuild" although four years late starts with these two guys.

To keep them off the field would be a travesty and a waste of time. The fan base needs these guys on the field.

Turn the page.

      Some Thoughts on Legette based upon an ex-scout's ranking him WR1 in the draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      No, he has a long way to go to be that--I think he is probably referring to his ceiling--I think Legette has more room to grow from where he is that those more polished WRs.  When you look at his potential, it presents an argument that is not so one sided.  Of those three, only Odunze had a higher RAS score 9.92.  XL had a 9.90.  Malik Nabors had a 9.67.  Harrison Jr.  did not have one.  I am not sure that Legette has not overcome more obstacles to be where he is, and if you consider his adversity, his story might be more incredible, even though he is only a second tier rookie right nowm with Mitchell, Thomas, Pearsall, and maybe McConkey.  I am going from memory-but you have to think of things as a kid-when he was 16, his mother died of breast cancer.  When he entered S Carolina, his father died.  They had some issues and QB problems and the OL was terrible in Columbia---the others you mentioned?  None of that family drama, and they played at Washington, Ohio State, and LSU.  Huge difference.  I am proud of him as a man--when all his chips were on the table--when he had no more chances, he broke through and became a first round draft pick.  A school with a losing record, mediocre QB, and bad OL.  Mentally, he was struggling through the losses of both parents.  Amazing story.  Is he as good as those three who played at top universities?  Not yet.
