Hypothetically. I don't think that would be conducive to his ultimate goals though, which is getting out of Houston at all costs. 

So he's kind of picky, but not picky enough to complicate whatever gets him out of Houston?

So? I don't care if you get it or not. They can lie, make stuff up, quote imaginary people, effect people lives all they want to. Doesn't mean I have to listen to their BS or take them seriously. Credentials? Ignore me all you want Journo. I ignore all of your kind and have for years. Your fantasy means nothing to me. Get a real job. 

LOL

He went 11-5 and 10-6 in his 2 full seasons before 2020.  

It is far more likely 2020 was an aberration rather than it ever being the norm.  Great QBs like Watson almost always lead competitive teams.  

He had his best year. That tells me it was hardly his fault. Looks at his stats and all that. He had an all time great season.

There is a lot of misunderstanding of the law regarding this situation. The fact that he wasn't indicted doesn't mean what he's accused of didn't happen, and it's as iron clad as many make it seem. It likely means that they determined that there either wasn't a criminal act committed OR they didn't believe that it would result in a guilty verdict.

The defense achieved its goal and there will be no criminal charges at this time, so he is now open to a trade / moving forward professionally right before Free Agency begins. Watson frequently, at the advice of his lawyer I'm sure, plead the 5th during this process. That is his right, and it should not be punished for being exercised. During the civil suits, he's much more likely to answer questions. If he says the wrong thing, or it casts doubt of his innocence on committing a crime, this can come back to a grand jury again. It's not a one & done.

This is far from over. There are likely people from both parties that are in the wrong. Just because there was consent to some degree doesn't mean that he didn't cross the line, as well. Even if it's just one victim, that's too many and he should kiss his days in the NFL goodbye. But if it was all one big money grab, then I hope that comes back around as well.

We don't have all the facts, and who knows how much we get. The NFL will paint the narrative it wants, and each of the lawyers will do the same. If you're going to make your own judgement based off the information available, use sources that have nothing to gain from the matter.

U think that?

Just feels like there is way too much smoke for it to actually happen, you know?  Like it feels like it has been talked about so much and we've been the "obvious" candidate for a year now that it just won't actually come to fruition.

I want Watson.  I'm cool with giving up players and 3 1st round picks.  I think people on this forum really, really, really undervalue what it would mean to have a 26 year old franchise QB.  That is a MAJOR problem solved and gives up so much flexibility to make other moves.  We'd be able to attract better free agents to make up for our lack of draft capital those years.  We could make win-now trades because we'd actually have a QB who can help us win now.

I could accuse you of touching my peepee, right now.

there would be no evidence, but that didn't mean it did not happen.

now add the in the fact the Watson has a poo ton of a cash and we live in a world where women get the benefit of the doubt in these situations. we also live in a world where rock star lawyers will gather a group of people with a common interest and pursue the legal route to try and make cash for them and off of them.

sad world, let's move on. play ball.

      Dan Morgan on Rich Eisen show

      By Basbear · Posted

      I'll toss my 2 pennies(rip) into this. I was not a fan of the Dan hire, I'd say 80against/20meh. The right hand stuff and being a part of what I viewed as the sorriest panther team in history...... The deal is some of the first moves he did saved NOTHING in cap space. He waived Bozeman, Vonn Bell, and Hurst.....That to me doesn't feel like Firererererere was listening to Dan to a high degree. Dan didn't have a 1st rounder which was 1st overall due to the supreme suckage. He didn't have 2nd rounder this past year which was a early pick right where the talent of the 2025 was. Plus the cap was not in the best shape.... The QB deal was in deep water as well. If you factor this extreme mess and analyze the current OL, DL, WR, and RB groups..... I have. Use your normal realistic cues. Even without playing the first game of this season, you must see improvement, right?? He simply could not fix all the problems, but the problems he choose to tackle... He did so like it was the 2003 Superbowl all over again. Factor in depth and age, those groups check the difficult boxes. Most of the players are young, locked in contracts, and there *should* be depth behind the starters. He's not going to bat 1.000, his mistakes have been pointed out numerous times. IMO, he does need some props for what I feel he's done right. Trade wise he's been killing the value side- extra future 2nd, starter level CB that's 28 year old for 240 picked LB that's bounced around the league, and moved up without giving the classic herniay future picks to land two edges whom are only behind QBs on the most valued chart. He also got a early 2nd and 2 5ths for a 8 sack-a-year edge that got nearly 30 mill per.  Sure its got to play out and positive results are needed. Still if you know NFL and been watching since the herniay&gettlegut eras, you got to feel the process is on the up and up. Im not talking in typical off-season hopuim fluff either.... It's not over by any means either(please give him until the 2026 season end), maybe this is a real foundation in the making, us Panthers don't even know what that is...... This could be the first real long lasting winner than us fans have never had in 30 years and we are witnessing it....

      Canales Addresses CB position

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      I feel like we have some depth; we just need that proven nickel. Mike Jackson is a decent #2, but ideally we'd have a proven veteran in the slot. Smith-Wade might be able to fill that role, but he's far from a sure thing.

      2025 QB Draft Class

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      Todd mcshay is doing a deep dive each week on the top propects.  Although he likes manning as a top guy he doesnt think he is coming out but he absolutey raves about Cade, Sellers and Garrett n.   Cade is the jack of all trades, does everything kindof well, Garrett is the big game hunter that has pin point accuracy, and sellers is the wildcard, the tools and arm is simply off the chart.  So adding in Manning and allar this class has unreal potential
