This is the thought process that led us to Teddy. Just sayin'.

Deshaun WATSON Officially Requests Trade from Texans
LinvilleGorge replied to ncstatekwi's topic in Carolina Panthers
It's more about the long-term than the short-term IMO. A team like the Dolphins or Niners could give up a ton of draft capital and still field a very good team... for a little while. But if you make that trade that was suggested for the Niners giving up 1sts and 2nds for the next three years, yeah that's gonna create a serious talent void in future years that you're gonna be feeling for awhile. -

Honestly, I can't see it. He's a backup QB but he's paid too much to be a backup. -

I'd hate to give up three 1sts, but if it meant keeping CMC while also unloading Teddy and his contracts and picking up some mid-round draft capital in exchange it wouldn't be the worst possible thing. I just don't think Houston is going to have any interest in Teddy. I mean, just look what Teddy has done to this fanbase. Now imagine if we had moved on from Cam in his prime to replace him with Teddy. That's basically what the Texans would be doing. Oh wee mayne. -

That's a franchise killer. My god. -
I absolutely think the Jets are a player. But I agree that if Miami wants in the game they're a STRONG contender. I think those two are by far the best bets, but we have that outside chance due to being able to offer established star power in CMC, plus a top 10 pick this year, plus being a non-AFC team. That's our best bet, if Houston is balking at AFC teams.

Yep. If the Texans have to move on from Watson they need to replace him with other star power or potential star power. Wilson would fit the bill. It's why I think we have an outside chance being able to dangle CMC. That'd be instant star power and they could still land a guy like Lance at #8. That'd be interesting on the Huddle too... we'd instantly have a glimpse into what might've been with the pairing of Lance and CMC in Houston. Honestly though, I think us landing Watson is a pipedream unless Carolina is THE place he wants to go and there's no indication of that being the case.

We're going back probably late this year/early next year but we'll go western slope. I'm completely over the Front Range. Evergreen turned into a completely different place. Like the worst possible combination of Cherry Creek and Boulder. Geographically perfect, but with the worst mix of humanity. If I had to stay in the Denver metro area, I'd go Conifer but it's only about 5 years or so trailing behind Evergreen.

I'm sure the Texans would prefer to move him out of the AFC, but if the Jets have a better offer, moving him to a non-divisional AFC team wouldn't be a terrible option. Miami is the only other team that has that type of draft ammo and...they're also in the AFC. -

Yeah, if Watson wants to go to the Jets it's a wrap. They're one of the teams best positioned with trade ammo. -
I wouldn't even trade our 2nd. If there had been a preseason where we could've seen something then maybe, but he's literally never shown anything at the NFL level. He threw 20 TDs vs. 17 INTs his final season in college. He was drafted as a high upside project. I'm not trading a 2nd rounder for someone else's project having never had the opportunity to see them in the field vs. NFL competition at least in the preseason. It was a great pick by the Packers though. For the last few seasons, Rodgers had slipped from MVP caliber QB to that second tier of "very good but not quite MVP level" QBs. They shoot a shot across his bow with that Love pick, and *poof* Rodgers is magically right back at an MVP level.
