I don't see any chance they trade that pick. Mendoza is the only decent option in this draft and they do still have Geno under contract if they opt to take it slow on his development. They actually are in an ideal shitty team scenario for that reason alone. Now, having that nitwit Tom Brady as your GM is a whole different can of worms but on paper this could work well.

It's genuinely perplexing. Of all the spots to go, he picks a bottom 3 job??? WTF He must be desperate to be a HC.

I don't see how anyone doesn't understand that the choice to trade him was absolutely correct. The mega deal we signed him to and the plague of injuries was why that was the case. Not to mention the fact that we stunk and were getting worse. As I have pointed out repeatedly, he would just be either injured here or putting up big numbers on a losing team. Also, the injury thing hasn't gotten better. He has missed 14 more games with injuries since he left(22.5% of all games with SF). Hence why so many have said so often....DON'T DO MEGADEALS FOR ANY RB. And for all the people chirping about paying Chuba, he is the 15th highest RB contract in the NFL. He ain't getting a ton of money.

Yeah, those are the guys to gamble on in Day 3, though. It's when you draft them in the top 3 rounds it gets problematic. Low risk, high reward. 100%.

I haven't heard anything about them wanting to move down. Where is this being reported?

Brady is the GM, so that isn't going to happen.

He was on the staff at the Rams when Baker was there. I will say, nothing I am gonna be concerned about as a Panthers fan. It would be very funny to see us dominate Tampa like we did Atlanta while he was there.

You know what's funny and depressing is if he just replicates what he did in 2025 next season, he will be in the top 10 WR in franchise history based on receiving yards.

That was intended to be plural. Games(3 games he played in 2004). Yeah, I think objectively CJ is still the better QB but I also no longer have a rosy view of his career. I don't know that he is going to ascend any further than his rookie year and he may descend quite far if his confidence is shattered. I am not in the CJ vs. Bryce camp like most of you all are. I don't want either of them. Especially in the context of potentially getting a mega deal. I could be wrong about both or either in the end but my bet now is that entire 2023 first round QB class just doesn't have any upper tier QB's.

I think DJ will always catch some heat because he will never be an elite WR, despite having elite attributes. I remember that when he was here. We all saw Steve Smith play for years, so we know what a truly elite WR looks like. DJ was never that. Now, is he a very, very good WR? Yes. Is he one of the best 15-20 WR's in the NFL year in and year out? I would say yes, as well. But he will always get some doubters because he is the tier below the truly elite WR's. I do agree, though. Would love to still have it. Would love to have reversed that trade immediately. Especially with the benefit of hindsight the way we have now. It's way more painful from that view.

You mean the 4 INT game in 2004? That's cool but he threw 8 TD's in the game prior. Also, I definitely never saw him looking like Stroud did. Anyone who watched those two games knows how incredibly lucky Stroud was to have only 8 TO's. I never saw Peyton Manning in a single game just panic and throw up prayers to no one. Not a couple of times but repeatedly. That was basically a worse version of Sam Darnold seeing ghosts.

That made me laugh. Nice.

Yet for your proof of concept for how Bryce could never play in the old NFL you showed a clip of 6-2, 195 Ike Taylor(a DB) hitting 6-0, 190 Pat White? So it's not physics you don't understand, it's actual size(and possibly football positions?

You do have a minimal understanding of physics, correct?

Tez Johnson is 154 lbs, plays WR and he isn't getting hurt. The size thing is MASSIVELY overplayed as an issue. It's all the other horseshit that is the issue.
