I’m fine with letting him walk too. My point like others in this thread... it’s not hard finding productive RBs in the league. Super star QBs like Watson are harder to find and are a hell of a lot more important.  

I'm not a fan of paying RBs, but there's a handful in the league that you do.

McCaffrey is one of those - he's a mismatch player. Unbelievable receiver out of the backfield (he could absolutely play Slot WR if he wanted to) and a home run threat every time he carries the ball. 

We'd have won a couple more games this year (easily) if he was healthy.

He was the only reason we won any games last year. Without him on the old staff we go 0-16 easy. This year better staff better overall team we almost beat the DEFENDING SB champs because of him. If he would’ve been healthy the entire year we’d have been a playoff team over the Bears. Please tell me I’m wrong. We lost 8 games by a score or less CMC changes that in a heart beat. Why would we want to give up him plus more to be in negative equity for a rebuild. All we need is two good drafts, some dead money to fall off the books, smart FA signings and guess what we are right back in there. Bringing in Watson will be like what we did to Cam but worse. I swear some of you guys are the reason this fan base is looked upon as foolish. Y’all already let almost half the stadium fill with other teams fans. Now you want to give away our future to get your black whipping boy to blame for the next shortcomings for the franchise. Just stop, please. 

Revisionist history, he was force fed to get 1k x 1k.  The games we won was because the defenses hadn't figured out our QB, soon as they did we couldn't win any more.  CMC couldn't put this team on his back and win.

All this is true, I’m not sure your point? Subject isn’t questioning CMC, his worth, and his contract. The subject is would you trade Watson for CMC. Would be an easy yes for me.

I am really disappointed in many of the newbs.  What the hell?

I'd trade my Alfa Romeo for a Ferrari too.

Doesn't mean the Ferrari dealership would accept that trade. The Texans will want A BOATLOAD of picks if Watson forces their hand. They're not looking to take on expensive contracts, not when they're already eating Watson's dead money.

Get a QB in the damn draft and built a decent oline. Wanting to let CMC go and lose a bunch of high draft picks for one guy is nuts. Every player is one hit from being done. To give up the farm isn't a wise move.

What makes anybody think Watson wants to come here with a busted O-line and the absence of the best weapon we’ve had in Carolina since Steve Smith? QBs salivate at the notion of handing off or passing to a guy like CMC. He makes them look that damn good. Stop with the nonsense.

I'm not talking about him wanting to come here or the current state of our o-line etc. I'm talking about the career positional value of Watson vs CMC. Both are upper end of their respective positions, but the QB position is by far more valuable than the RB position. IF I was forced to choose between having Watson OR CMC, I would choose Watson based solely on the likelihood his career would be longer and the value of a franchise QB exceeds that of a franchise RB.

I don’t get this

CMC is the best player on our team, & his contract is reasonable

lets not forget that along with losing multiple #1 & #2 draft picks, Watson brings with him a $40m multiple year contract

I mentioned it because people seem to think the only way we could pull off a trade is to give up our biggest asset. QB is the most important position in football but you don’t trade your best weapon leaving your new franchise QB without a future HOF weapon.

It’s hard to get through to dumb people.
