I'm getting livid at the thought of it.  Anyone advocating for this I pray you don't have daughters. If you are OK with this then you are no better a human being than the man who committed the assaults.  That is not the type of person or team I can follow and cheer for.

What has he been convicted of or found liable for?

Hes gonna end up playing, and playing well somewhere very soon.  Are you just going to quit watching the NFL, period?  Or is this just a Panthers thing?  Because you kinda have to carry it all the way thru now.

Put it this way, the only time I will watch a game is if I have nothing else to do and the game on has the Panthers playing someone.  That someone is who I will actively cheer for, if I even watch the game at all.

That’s fair.

I’m sure you hated Kobe and Big Ben as well. The problem is that the sports world forgets as soon you start winning. 
 

looked how the announcers praised Antonio brown during the late season run for the buccaneers. 
 

I respect you stepping away from the sport completely if Watson ends up playing again. That’s one step in the right direction in making a statement.

 

i will say if this is a mental illness for Watson, and he ends up getting treated for it…. Those dark clouds will follow until he gets better.

Nice.  I can respect a man with strong convictions.

Rae Carruth was actually convicted and served prison time.  Highly unlikely any of that happens to Watson. 

Get out of that white Bronco and lace 'em up, OJ! Let's go!

Wow. Wonder what Rae Carruth has left in the tank? I mean, if we only care about winning...

Hard to play NFL football from prison, but if someone serves the time society has given them, can still play, and is worth the distraction, sure, sign them up. Obviously the juice isn’t worth the squeeze for Carruth, but if it was prime Randy Moss getting out of prison, I’d sign him the next day.

An elite QB is absolutely worth any distraction he carries along with him.

Being an colossal scumbag and idiot that this team shouldn't even be interested in. Let's start with that.

If like to see analytics of the last 15 years, every QB drafted and where, overlayed with their draft rank/projection overlayed with NFL outcomes .  It would be interesting to see the allotment between Bust vs Elite vs mid-tier starting QBs in relation to pre-draft projections.

 

my guess is one in this class is a top 10 QB but it may be a late bloomer slotted for late first round or 2-3 round with Willis being wild card.

You Watson fans do realize if we trade away our team for him, IF he can play and IF we play better (best case scenario) then Rhule sticks around as coach…

They will know before we do. I feel like interested teams probably have a good idea what will happen anyway.

Do you have any idea on the interested teams, and are we like ahead of the rest?

This trade would probably leave us as the new Texans. An elite QB surrounded by a straight trash team. We'd see multiple 1st and 2nd round picks along with guys like Moore and Burns heading to Houston.

Well....maybe Rhule is a much better coach with a superstar QB?

Sounds like its down to us and Washington.....possibly Philly as a dark horse #3.  All I know is that things are gonna get REALLLLY interesting in the next couple days.  I imagine everybody involved wants to get this settled before the start of free agency.
