I told y'all a couple of times that he wasn't coming to a rebuilding team. Stafford coming to Carolina was never realistic. Fitterer is a man of his word though; we will stick our nose in every deal.

NFL rules only allow you to go three years in advance. As such, we can only offer picks from 2021, 2022 & 2023. https://ftw.usatoday.com/lists/theres-no-way-for-the-texans-to-win-a-trade-that-involves-deshaun-watson "NFL teams can’t go too far into the future for picks to trade. According to league rules, teams can’t trade picks more than three years in advance, so only teams with multiple first-round picks in one of thsoe years — like the Dolphins and Jaguars in 2021 — can meet those demands."

We don't have 5 first rounders! As much as we could offer would be three. Rodgers ain't going anywhere anyway!

Do some Huddlers live in a vacuum? Gee whiz!

Is this a surprise? Of course we were!

That's how I am. I see the Stafford trade as indicative of two things: 1. Fitt is making good on what he said about being in on every deal (and he said it with a straight face and with a business-as-usual type of attitude). 2. The Rams were "jobbed" by the Lions in their desperation to win a championship in the near future. We don't know where the Panthers were on the Lions-Stafford spectrum. Moreover, Rhule would not even compare Jones to the four top QBs in the draft when given the opportunity to do so. He said "I havn't studied those guys enough yet..." So, if you believe him--and he seemed to be obviously hedging a bit--there's still a lot of work to be done!

If Watson really wants to play hardball, he can do it and still get paid.

Probably a youngin!

The money, and perhaps less so the length, made it a dumb deal! It wasn't as dumb as Jake's contract, but it was eyebrow-raising.

I didn't mind signing Teddy. What I did mind is the amount that we gave him! I was surprised that we gave him that much and a three-year contract. That's not a prove-it deal in my estimation. Two-year, 30 mil deal-- maybe 12 mil guaranteed the first year with 10 guaranteed the second with an option to extend, was what I was thinking. And, if he didn't take it, we'd have rolled the dice with someone else. They must have really wanted him (probably due to Brady). They got him! Now they have to deal with him.

The title is clickbait! It's not our trade proposal, it's a hypothetical trade proposal by ESPN & Bill Barnwell.

There's a lot of noise in this thread. I'm just waiting to see what it actually will take! It's only hypothetical until it's not. If it happens, which is possible, hypotheticals will become more interesting.

The kids need to know the truth, not some watered down participation trophy version. I love what I heard Phil Snow on the "mic'd up" video tell a player who he didn't think was giving it his all and missed the opportunity to intercept the ball: "It's a man's game! Play it like one!"

I approve of this message! Vote FRANCHISE QB ~~Panthers 2021~~

That's an awful stat! It also belies the fact that we need a dynamic top tier QB and OC (in my opinion).

Yep!

I'm not gonna lie. Though I listened to the interview, I overlooked that little tidbit! Not saying that this is the case here...but sometimes the things that people seemingly say in passing are the the things that mean the most.

I read that his parents were/are Lebanese. Who knows?

Intelligent guy. Makes good decisions! Good size, strong arm, accurate--seemingly the quintessential pocket passer. But, isn't nearly as mobile as today's younger franchise QBs. Questions about how he can handle defensive pressure because his pockets were pretty damned clean at Bama!

I never said that it was! In fact, my second comment in this thread intimated that it isn't! On an off note, The Texans are just trying to placate Watson now! If I were him, I'd see right through it!

When I think of win-now mode, that doesn't relate to a 9-7 season (unless you're Ron Rivera in a division full of suck)!

Yeah, it's utterly useless to have a discussion with many folks! And that's why I don't frequent the "Litterbox".

Like I said, the data tells a story. If you want to deny it, you do you! That's what you and others like you have been doing all your lives!

It has already been reported that Watson would consider the Panthers, so...
