Depends on Caserio.

Remember, Garoppolo was very well thought of in New England before he was traded. There was even talk of keeping him over Brady.

How does he feel now? Unknown.

I don't think he'd mind having him, but when the other options get you draft picks to go after one of the QB's in the draft this year, why would you take back Garoppolo?

If that team was a game manager QB away from being a contender, maybe, but if that were the case, Watson might put up with their idiot ownership and try to win a SB himself.

Pretty sure Plan A is to build the team in such a way that Watson looks at them a little differently.

Will it work? Unknown, but they're definitely putting in a lot of effort.

If they accomplish that, then all they have to do is figure out a way to make him stop hating the owner.

(good luck)

Jimmy G also has a no trade clause. I don’t see him willingly going to Texans ..  regardless Broncos are biggest competition.. they would offer 3 1st chubb and lock ... pretty good offer .. I’m guessing the deal with the panthers will be if there is a qb available at 8 ... who knows but we will see in the coming months ..

One, they can offer Garoppolo in return (not equal to Watson but significantly better than Bridgewater).

I think that's a stretch. Garropolo isn't even ranked higher than TB on some boards, but he's certainly not "significantly better than Bridgewater" by most accounts. He's damaged goods that was once propped up by the aura of Bill Belichick and Tom Brady in some respect.

He was pretty well valued in New England. In fact, it's been reported that the Patriots have reached out to the 49ers about trading him back.

Not exactly a stretch to think Caserio might have similar feelings.

That's true, but I was referring to the overall thought that Garropolo is "significantly" better than TB. I don't know that that idea has any wings outside the Huddle bubble other than maybe with Caserio or possibly New England (and I don't even know if they really believe it).

I hate a bid war for Watson. I feel like we are better off keeping our picks and if we have to trade up for Trey Lance and riding Teddy for half a year. We would be out of great picks for years and would have to look to FA for years and right back in a cap hole because we gave up too much. If Watson gets injured we be right back to square one.

That would be a very big bid to beat Broncos ....... only thang we got going is that we are in the NFC and his home town is close . But I do agree Tepper would be a great owner to play for ..

Anyone that steps onto the football field can get injured. Lance could get injured, too, and you're still out the trade up assets and have no QB to show for it. Bengals dealt with that (but without the trade up part).

Lance could be great, or he could bust. Any of the rooks could. In a trade up, you're spending your assets to find out. Watson is known to be a top 10 QB in the league. You're spending your assets on a known quantity.

Now, if you want to sit at 8 and hope Lance falls, that's a viable strategy, but one that has its own built in risks.

True but how much you have to give up to get a QB like Watson. Youll likely have to give up future and some quality. With Lance youll give up maybe less and still have your key players intact. I would rather keep CMC and Burns and lose a extra 2nd and 3rd next year than to give up Burns or CMC and 3 1st rds. Thats leaving you having to build throw FA and potentially getting wrecked in cap again because you cant get a 1st rd pick on a rookie deal for 4 years. Those savings makes a difference.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By Aussie Tank · Posted

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
