YT-M will get 200 sacks!

Let's make predictions on what year the Panthers will win their first Superbowl! I'll be optimistic and say 2028.

There WAS NO OFFER FROM THE PANTHERS THE BRONCOS offered a first the brown's turned it DOWN.... Threads you started as carolina-chuck2 aren't OFFERS.

Your wrong it's okay to be wrong... Again I love Watson and I'd love to have him, now with your infinite knowledge please tell me how we would plan on keeping him vertical.

Dude that was 2016 chuck go home and put not the rock.

No no he would not have... eeesh fail fail fail..... the 2015 superbowl was in February 2016..... Butler was picked in the APRIL 2016 draft.... we went 6-10 in the 2016 season.

The Seahawks made two SBs in a row the high dollar contracts came home to roost...

Cheap high profile FAs due to the presense of the GOAT and a team who drafted all of their superstars....

Situational player from a small school with high athletic upside... Had a breakout fourth season which is close to on par for defensive tackles... Aaron Donalds don't grow on trees. An emotional ejection seems to give him a bad rap... A bust would be Eli Apple the 10th pick of the same draft.

People keep overlooking the fact that rookie contracts are a MAJOR factor in building a contender.

And our coaches still think the clock stops automatically under two minutes.... and that "surprise" onside kicks/fake punts can be attempted multiple times a game.

Vernon Butler is a late round pick who is a starter for a AFCG team, He had 7.5 sacks his last season here and was foolishly not tendered, Hardly a bust for the 30th pick of the draft.... Also Joe Thomas retired 7 months late HARDLY worth a first rounder.

Panthers 1st rounders haven't been busts, Benjamin is the lone stander there in 15 years....

If the state of our offensive line was better I might agree, A Watson trade all but guarantees we will need two OTs have very little cap space and still be missing several key postions on defense, *assuming Paradis isn't cut* even if we could pull it off it will be four years to climb to 9-7 Watson isn't a magic cure all pill like phillybs viagra. He was FANTASTIC this season and won the same amount of games as TB.

I'm sure Houston is loving giving away #3 and a shot at a QB or Sewell for the privilege of 4-12 and paying a fairly middle of the road LT a mega deal.

I may be naive but I don't think so (nor do I think it has to do with his abilities) The Chiefs are in their second consecutive SB he is wouldn't be the first coordinator to lose out on a gig because teams don't want to wait until mid Feb to have a HC in place.

I'd go two firsts... #8 and 2022. More than that would be a long term detriment.

But does he? He's had one ACL tear and absorbed an average of 50 sacks a season....

In all seriousness I would love getting Watson at a price that wouldn't morgage the future. I have noticed the "All in for Watson crowd" Happens to be a lot of the same people that complained for years about Cam not having an oline or weapons or CBs who could hold a lead.... The same will happen to Watson if you pony that much up..

I remember the Orton led Bears handing us our butts in 2008 he passed for an entire 149 yards lol.

I don't care who you are you don't average 4300 passing yards and 27tds a season without being elite... Staffords the only reason they didn't become the only team with multiple 0-16 seasons. He's led some crazy come backs with absolutely no defense.

My thoughts are the same, It's worth noting that Huddle consensus was to trade the farm for Cutler back then lol.

Just look at Cam with Nate Chandler at G in 2013, or RW in 2020 when he had to face NFL caliber DLs.... the single reason other than coaching for the Texans lack of success with Watson is their failure to give him a line... we sacked him 6 times... when we averaged 2.25 per game THIS season.

Could also come down to money, FL like Texas has no income tax, in NY his tax bracket would put him at around 8.5% NC would be about 5.25% either place he's looking at making 250-300k LESS per year.

It really is too bad they didn't keep O'Brian on as just their GM we could have gotten him for TB and a third lol.
