yep, I have been in and out of the office this morning so I havent seen this asked or answered.  If the NFLPA and Watson appeal is he eligible to play until they sort it out?  I am pretty sure brady did this in deflategate

Well Watson has a clause that he gets paid, regardless so I would imagine the NFLPA is going to be oretty quiet on this.

Plus now is not the time to get in the way of the raging mob that is going to attack the NFL. Let the league take that bullet.

I am just worried he appeals and plays against us then sits like 3 games later.  Obviously I would rather take our chance on brissett

Anyone who doesn't have their head in the sand or firmly between their ass cheeks like you has seen rich, famous, and powerful men get away with sexual abuse with no punishment or a slap on the wrist enough times to know that they aren't in the same justice system when "innocent until proven guilty" applies.

These fuggers, the standard is "where there's smoke, there's fire."

Like I said, guilty until proven innocent.

We lament that rich and powerful men( mostly white in the US) often get away with things in this part of the world but this isn't a uniquely male nor uniquely white issue. It's a powerful person issue that spans the recorded history of humanity. Rich and powerful Saudis get away with the same things in Saudi Arabia. Rich and powerful Chinese get away with similar in China. Rich and powerful Nigerians get away with similar in Nigeria.

The problem is certainly less specific that people want to make it. It's a fundamentally human trait for the rich and powerful to mold the rules to their benefit. 

So when a man with money and power(like Deshaun Watson) gets into trouble and is backed by men with even more money and more power......how did you think this was going to end?

It would be different had Watson lost his NFL supporters. They'd have hung him out to dry and he would have been out like Kaepernick was out. But he didn't do anything that those other rich and powerful men thought was a "red line" that couldn't be crossed. It didn't(and won't) threaten their bottom line.

Yeah, I understand that. I am going to that game so I wouldn't mind seeing a Watson vs. Mayfield game. That would be hyper entertaining as a storyline.

Sometimes there's just not enough proof especially when it's only two people involved in an incident.

Well, at lest Watson's fun spree is over with unwilling ladies.  He can probably only get rub and tugs at the same ones truckers use now...you know, where happy endings are actually an above board thing.

When the consequence of "guilty" is zero jail time, a slap on the wrist suspension, and then the richest contract in NFL history, I'm sure he's glad he's got a white knight like you on his side making sure we're all aware he was railroaded by the court of public opinion.

This guy was probably the lead dude with a pitchfork and torch when the mob came after Jerry Richardson though.  You know, a few NDA's and promoted 'jeans Friday'.  Hell, half this board couldn't run him out of BOA fast enough.

Heard someone say the NFL isn’t going to hand down a hash penalty for this stuff because of what that precedent would mean for owners like Snyder, Jerry, Kraft.

I wouldn't be surprised if that was the agenda all along. Cover up the misogyny.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.

      Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.

      Potential changes to playoff seeding

      By HaricotVert · Posted

      The changes to onside kicks were ridiculous and ruined a significant part of the game     It was already a high risk low reward play.  Why change it?
