Panthers DO NOT Have the Ammunition to Pull Off a Watson Deal

People get paid to write three paragraphs of opinion that 1) is pure speculation and 2) doesn't provide any detailed supporting evidence for the assertion? I'm in the wrong line of work.

He may be right or he may be wrong, but how about a breakdown of our available assets and analysis of why they wouldn't be enough?  We have plenty in the coffer should we decide to use them.  Just because Miami or some other team has more doesn't mean they are willing to use them all.

He's assuming the Texans would trade Watson within the AFC. He's also overlooking a lot of quality pieces we have. CMC, Burns, Chinn, and Moore would all be valuable trade pieces. 

I normally don't agree with this guy, but he actually makes sense this time.  So you are saying get Watson and trade what few pieces that we have, the very ones that made us somewhat competitive last year.

They drafted him.  They didn't trade the farm for him when they were rebuilding.

Rodgers won his super bowl outside of his Rookie contract and the Packers drafted a 1st round bust in Harrell in 2007 didn't have a 1st round pick in 2008 and Rodgers signed his mega deal in 2010. Then drafted another bust in 2011.

So what I am seeing is.... The Packers spent a shitload of money on QB, and won a super bowl with a bust and no first round pick. The proceeded to bust on the next year's pick.

No, I'm saying he wrote a very selective article. He didn't paint an accurate picture.

The Packers, Chiefs and Bills can afford to because they drafted their franchise QB's, duh.

And two of those 3 have signed their qbs to mega deals. PM has a quarter of a billion dollar contract.
 

I was against this at first but the more I think about it I’d do it. 2022 and 2023 are his big cap years and we still will have our young talented players under rookie contracts. The only player we’d be looking at to extend is Burns and DJ. We’d have to draft extremely well in the 2nd and 3rd rounds and I wouldn’t be opposed to trading down in those rounds to get more picks. 
 

do some of y’all watch Watson play? He’s a top 5 qb and is 25 years old. We could be looking at our qb position being locked up for the next decade. I’m a huge trey Lance fan and where we pick is more than likely gonna be him unless we move up. He is a bigger risk then this. And we’d have to give away picks to move up for an unknown QB if we wanted Lawrence, Wilson or fields. Watson is a known elite qb. This opportunity literally never happens. I’m in.

If it's anything like the site I write for, yes, you do get paid, but it's not close to enough to live on.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      KC has a very good defense this year. It is 5th overall. Yes, still worse than last year, but their offense is considerably worse. Their passing D may be their "weakness" but they still allow fewer than 20 ppg. BY completed several deep passes yesterday, and he was able to threaten downfield in ways he didn't seem capable of before the benching. I'm not necessarily worried about his ability to connect deep anymore. What to me was impressive was that he did all this without a run game. We used the pass to set up what little running success we had. Wild.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Solid and fair assessment.   I will say, one of the big things I noticed yesterday was that he wasn't shy to step up into the pocket in the face of pressure.  He's trusting the IOL.  And they took care of Chris Jones yesterday.  We had clean pockets but also good success rate vs. pressure which just hasn't been the case with Bryce.   If he has more confidence the OL gets it done and he can navigate and step up for throws, that's huge.  It's one of the biggest things that's held him back.  He was previously bailing quickly and just too easily throwing away or making dead plays.     He was finding his 2nd to 3rd reads within structure/without bailing in the pocket.  That was nice to see, as much concern I have with him.  And the overall limitations will always be there. Time to back it up this week against the Bucs.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Suddenly the Cowgirls look like our best chance for a win remaining. I think the Bucs are playing better than the Falcons of late.  Our lone game versus the dirty birds is in the ATL where we always struggle.  The Cardinals are marginally better than I thought they would be. We are not beating the Eagles, they are starting to roll. I'm saying two at most, next week at home versus the Bucs and the Cowgirls.
