We are literally the only team whos had an offer on the table, been interested from the get go, and hasn't had to make any roster/cap moves to accommodate him. Beyond that- he actually REACHED OUT to ATL after meeting with us, a divisional rival and his childhood team growing up. If he wanted to be here the decision would've been made days ago. He's hedging his bets and we're his last resort. I think that much is pretty obvious

I've followed it from the get go and was completely for trading the farm for him before the allegations came out. Don't sit here and act like our organization is some bastion of honesty, you and I both know its a complete poo show and has been for years. Try having "a little perspective".

Even removing the ethics from the equation, I just can't get behind trading the farm for a dude who 1. Doesn't want to be here 2. Has already shown he has no problem forcing his way off a team 3. Will in all likelihood be a 3 year rental Imagine us trading the farm and him leaving for ATL in 3 years. I could absolutely see it.

The dude is forcing his way off of a team in the middle of a contract extension he ALREADY signed, you honestly think he's gonna ride it out here for a decade? Absolutely no way.

It’s obvious at this point Carolina isn’t his first choice. Bold of you to assume he doesn’t walk in FA in three years if we were to trade for him i hope the saints or falcons land him. Some people may be cool being the last resort option of a likely predator but I’m good.

this may be news to you, but just because someone doesn't agree with you doesn't mean they're a troll.

This is the only account I’ve ever had or used since signing up in 2008, but go off lmao

The more teams that get involved the more excited I get about the prospect of never seeing him in black and Carolina blue.

Would love to see him in the Saints so We could watch Burns light his ass up twice a year.

Well, I was three years old when that happened and had no concept of competitive sports or object permanence for that matter, good try tho.

A fan of the team doesn't make me a fan of the league. Keep working on those mental gymnastics.

I really could not give less a poo about what you or anyone else thinks. It's a Panthers forum, about the Panthers, for Panthers fans, so yeah I'm gonna throw my two cents out as a longtime and loyal fan. You can deal, or if you *really dont care that much* just ignore the post

I want the team to win, but not enough to cheer for a serial sexual assaulter (or at the very least, someone I can't in good confidence say ISN'T a serial SA). I've been a lurker/member of this board for 15 years, and have watched *every* minute of every game since I was a fan, every draft pick, every practice recap, etc. I'm about as hardcore of a Panthers fan as they come, and I'll be far from the only one to walk from the team if we trade for Watson.

I'll be getting rid of all my Panthers gear.

Sad day in Panthers history if the trade goes down.

Absolutely not and Absolutely not

Hard pass. Prefer my team to be rapist-free.

He's done. No.

It's not a happy time, no. Admittedly this the worst I've felt about the state of the team since Pre-Cam. But had we signed Watson, as far as I'm concerned the franchise would've died to me that day. Would the number of fans walking away make an actual difference? Probably not, but I'd have been far from the only one. If a couple of years of QB purgatory is the alternative to winning with a predator, fine by me.

Thank fuging god.

I'll take cornball Russ over a dude with 22 sexual assault allegations anyday.

And no draft capital to build with and one of the youngest on top of losing one of the youngest and best defensive players in the league, all for a dude who’s not even guaranteed to play. The rose colored glasses some of you have on is absolutely insane.

acting like the only possible outcome of trading for Watson is “winning games when he starts playing” is ridiculous. Team could just as easily keep dropping games amongst the stench of obvious desperation and Watson might not ever even see the field again. But I really can’t reconcile with the thinking of “well statistically hes most likely a serial predator but at least we have our QB.” Nah.
