Russell Wilson to Carolina?

[Khyber53]

So, we're sitting at #8 in a draft that could have five or six good QBs in it, a couple of which would even be available in the second round when our pick came in. We have no real offensive line. We're cheering defensive pick ups that have injury histories or just one decent season of work. 

Why the hell are we going to give it all away to try and nab a big name QB with a huge contract who will want to run the organization? Either Watson or Wilson will be that guy. Guaranteed if they get here and they will be surrounded by a team hamstrung for salary cap AND draft picks so there's no way to really build around them except for some street-level JAGs. We will have a further disgruntled superstar on a team that's going nowhere and you and I will be stuck watching them. 

And if this is what the owner wants, he's a dumbass who doesn't understand the sport, and he will have killed the career of the Head Coach he was willing to give anything to to get here. 

Just scout the college candidates, make a frikkin' pick at #8 or trade for the #1 pick. Quit dickin' around you stupid hedge wizard weasel.

if Watson is off the table i'd do it.  He's an ironman despite all the hits he's taken, and he has a Brady like attitude towards longevity, meaning we'd still be getting near a decade of elite play

After seeing that offer that the Seahawks turned down from the Bears? Hell no!

Agreed. He has a decade left at the very, very best. Watson may have 15 years

[BurnNChinn]

Lol him and Ciara won’t come here. She wants to live in a big city, she owns his balls.

[SizzleBuzz]

This would be much more of a "homecoming" than with DW.

I'd be fine with seeing Russ in a Panthers uniform.

Would be really interesting to see the reactions here if Buzbee was filing these complaints against Russ vs. DW!

Well...we DO need LBs. 

Maybe Ciara could fill the spot?

I dont want Wilson. With this stuff going on with Watson, I think I would rather have Fields or Lance.

3 1st rounders, a 3rd rounder and 2 starters is way too much for someone on the wrong side of 30. I'm pretty sure an article came out saying he was hit more than any other QB in the league. His body will begin to break down way before Drew Brees or Tom Brady's did. 

He's not on the wrong side of 30! 

Look, I get the whole not wanting to give up so much. I do! That's debatable! But only people thinking really in terms of the 80s or even the 90s think that 32 is old I today's NFL. Wilson, Stafford and Rogers are still playing at a high level with arms as big as they ever were, and certainly enough to push the ball down field. Even the Brady has a noodle arm narrative has proven to be false (as I suspected and intimated somewhere on these servers within the last two years)!

Yall love believing owners/organizations and trashing QBs, it's weirdly specific

We did hire a GM who is supposed to be a draft expert...maybe go with our strengths at this time?

I'm with you, Tepper pulls this trigger and he is a fugging Jones level moron owner playing with his billion dollar toy.

What was the rumored Bears offer? I remember the (3) 1st, but can't remember the rest 

Three firsts, a third and two players.

The available players they were willing to offer reportedly included Khalil Mack and Akiem Hicks.

[LinvilleGorge]

Honest to god, I'd rather draft Mac Jones at #8. I can't bring myself to root for Russell Wilson.

Oh man stop the insanity
