No more Watson threads. Use this one or one of the other 20 existing ones.

Tepper's silence on Rhule...actually because he's still been waiting on Deshaun to fire him. Whatta world. 

[RJK]

I wonder if hearing that has Rhule considering bolting for college.

If tepper legit said this … we lose. I have a feeling this isn’t 100% true. I think tepper is gonna say it during his meet with Watson, but I don’t believe he said it to someone it’s Watson’s camp. Is he even allowed to talk to anyone associated to Watson during this period? Isn’t that tampering?

It all cost him millions.  Price for being arrogant

Jesus christ... If tepper actually said that, it sounds like he's ready to give Watson the gwak gwak 9000 if he asked him to.

Honestly, if Rhule is fired after a trade for Watson - that would set a pretty bleak precedent. 

[Daddy_Uncle]

Tepper is one wild mfer

[USDepartmentOfSavagery]

Also, Mr Scot is noticeably absent. I hope he is in good health or enjoying vacation but I would be lying if I said I miss his insufferable multi-quote ramblings.

Let him pick the damn HC...we want him gone anyway. And more than likely it will be offense minded guy which we have wanted for a while anyway. Lol

Who knows how much of this chatter is even real

If true about Watson being able to pick the next head coach, it makes sense why Rhule wasnt at the press conference for the combine. That would mean Tepper is pushing all of his chips to the center of the table and betting on Watson. He has brought in veteran, experienced position coaches to help the incoming head coach. Which I am guessing would be Bieniemy. New coach, new QB, and 2nd year GM. As close to a fresh start as possible. But it would be an unusual thing to see a coach fired so late in the off-season. Between that and the Watson trade, the Panthers would be the talk of the NFL.

Bieniemy might be a stretch as this point. But it has the makings of Mcadoo at OC, Wilks could take over DC from Snow, and either of those two or Tabor/even Watson's old QB coach Ryan could assume HC duties and just run an actual NFL program

Not unless franchise QBs start regularly going on the trade block in their prime - which they won't. This is a once in a generation opportunity.

Sounds dangerously based to me. Tepper lives on the fuging edge and I dig it, man.

Man, it looks like Tepper is ready to drop the towel and give Watson a personal rub and tug himself...with extra special happy ending.
