Mr. Scot

Hard to imagine that unless we believed there was no way we could keep Moton.

Regarding Pitts, but could apply here too...

That's what everybody expected, but there's lots of talk now it could go another way. (no way I'd bypass Sewell if I were them, but I'm not them)

Just using Denver as an example. Heck, people have even suggested the Patriots might trade up. That sounds crazy, but it's a crazy offseason.

(not sure what happened to your font) You don't think anybody (like Denver perhaps) trades ahead of us for a quarterback?

A pretty good number (and probably the majority) of the mocks coming out now have the top four quarterbacks gone by pick five or six at the latest.

I don't really want any of the later round QBs.

Just saw this from Joe Person... There's also been word that Joe Burrow is lobbying the team to take a receiver like Ja'Marr Chase. (someone snapped you like a twig last year dude, but you be you) Most mocks previously had Penei Sewell going to the Bengals, but some draftniks are changing their mind now. I've even seen one that had him going to the Broncos at pick nine. So my question would be this: How realistic a chance do you think the Panthers have of getting Sewell at pick eight? For that matter, if he fell to pick six or seven, would you consider trading up?

And of course, Matt Rhule recruited him...

Someone pointed out that he basically turned Laremy Tunsil into four first round picks. I don't know how good anybody thinks Tunsil was, but he damn sure wasn't worth four first round picks.

"But wait, there's more!" Oy Remember when it was one lawsuit? Then suddenly it was four, then six, then nine, then twelve. When it got to twelve, I remember saying "Well, that's gotta be all there are. That's like once a month!" And then it doubled. I stopped saying "this couldn't get any weirder" a long time ago.

I've seen a few folks who still have that pipe dream, including one who thinks it happens before the draft (yikes). In reality, barring a settlement or some other miraculous event, Florio estimates that Watson's current slate of lawsuits will take about two years to work through. And I know some folks think a settlement just makes everything magically go away, but it's really not that simple; especially given that each and every one of the accusers is asking for an admission of guilt. I feel pretty confident in saying two things: Nobody, including us, is trading for Watson while this is still going on (we'd be idiots to do so). And specific to the Panthers, we're not waiting around for two years to address our quarterback situation. As Verge has said more than once, that ship has sailed.

Our friend Ellis chimes in...

This is one of the reasons why Ive balked at the idea of trading up or trading away a bunch of picks for a quarterback. In a draft that's said to have one of the better draft pools for offensive lineman in a while, I'm kind of hesitant about giving up picks that could be used to build our line.

Yeah...ouch

I was really just asking that as a general question, not specific to Watson. Florio did make a point on that front though. If Watson can easily recall these 18 masseuses, what does that say about the defense's claim that he has no idea who the ones accusing him are?

That's likely what the play design is. Plus, sad to say it but that's an improvement over what we did last year.

I'd like to think no one would put watching their favorite team win football games as a higher priority than people's lives, but sadly...

To be fair, their GM is pulling off some serious sh-t.

He's not. He just doesn't want to use the Houston Police, reportedly because the opposing attorney's son is a higher up in the department. (was discussed earlier)

Would you seek out a different masseuse every time though? Fifty massages is one thing. Having to find fifty different masseuses to do them seems like a lot of trouble.

Granted, we haven't been great at tight end, but we did just sign a decent one.

I suppose I can see that, but even as someone who likes massages I don't know that I'd want to do them daily.

Have fun on your first jury duty.
