I have made my feelings clear on the biggest reason why a trade for Watson is wrong. But I also want to take the time and talk about football on this blog. The Panthers are not good enough to mortgage their future on a single player. A trade for Watson is a plainly and sufficiently wrong move for the football operations of the Carolina Panthers as to make it a nonstarter.
First, Watson is one of the most talented quarterbacks in the National Football League. He’s also potentially available to interested teams—we’re assuming here that he would waive his no-trade clause for the Panthers.
