Kenny Atkinson got wind of something he didn't like the way he backed out is a big red flag this franchise is probably doomed for awhile sadly.

Probability Analysis of the Burns and DJ decision
frankw replied to Evil Hurney's topic in Carolina Panthers
At this point I wish we made the deal just to see people get their wish and inevitably flip flop when they see how awful the pass rush will be and complain about how long it's taking just to see the first pick from the trade have his name called. -
Miles arrested on felony domestic violence
frankw replied to Captain Morgan's topic in Charlotte Hornets
We're lottery pick bound regardless let some other team deal with this drama. Neither look like they need custody of kids. Hiding out in his house saying he wants to be left alone. Newsflash you're a father and a millionaire big guy step up you aren't working a 9-5 at Arby's. Good luck with all that Miles. -
Probability Analysis of the Burns and DJ decision

Assuming we will just draft studs who will be cornerstones is what got us into this mess. Remember when Shaq Thompson was supposed to be the next Thomas Davis? See the problem firesale advocates aren't seeing with their logic is once you elevate the standard to only elite "cornerstone" players the rules change and your own argument works against you and we just keep hitting the reset button every 3-4 years because you guys also don't want to pay out big contracts either even if we hit on picks. So maybe just relax and try and laugh at the rest of the season and turn the temperature down for a bit because this week has been exhausting enough. -

We can argue about taking it or not but 3 draft picks is not a Hershel Walker deal let's be real here. That deal resulted in 4 players and 3 firsts and 3 seconds. That's the Hershel Walker deal so if we're going to cite it let's at least know what was involved. -

So now that we've established any and all losing is now punishable by exile what happens when those rookies take some lumps or face struggles to develop? Certain positions you may see flashes instantly but other positions can take 2-3 seasons especially defensive ends. Firesale redux? -

That's fair. It's also fair to say if you sell off most of the roster and expect to draft mostly studs and all pros with those picks you are going to be disappointed based on the Carolina Panthers overall draft history. -
Probably time to just face facts. Jordan stinks as an NBA owner and it may never get much better.

Probability Analysis of the Burns and DJ decision

You've been raging about this for days my guy. We will still have other draft picks to work with and this declined trade will not prevent us from being a competitive team ourselves as long as we get the right coach in here. Look at the Seahawks chugging right along with Geno fuging Smith. Chin up. -

The original post in question said they were "almost sure to be" bad enough for a top 16 pick. Now you are saying they "could" be average. That's a more reasonable distinction and I agree. -

Of course the roster is different and they will undergo more changes in the upcoming offseason too. I'm not saying McVay is a magician but the Rams have added some significant talent the last few years and they just signed their GM to an extension who has been a big part of that talent infusion. They are going to do everything they can to be competitive. Just because we want their picks doesn't mean all rational logic goes out the window. -

It hinges on Sean McVay more than anything. He almost won a second Super Bowl with Jared Goff and Brandin Cooks. If he exits your assumption is a much safer bet. -

Justin Fields 61 yard rushing touchdown
frankw replied to Sean Payton's Vicodin's topic in Carolina Panthers
Is that you @iamhubby1 -
Yeah I've already seen the schemes some fans here have cooked up for us to make a run at Lamar lol. We could have 4 or 5 first round picks that still isn't going to be enough to convince a general manager to part with a 25 year old MVP quarterback because at the end of the day he knows the odds of replacing that level of talent and it will likely end with him being shown the door if he makes that deal.
-
Very reasonable take nicely done. At the end of it all this ire over draft picks boils down to probabilities. For the time being Fitterer is spotty at best and we know the Panthers overall draft history is anything but fantastic. Hell we're already banking on hitting big on a QB in the draft which is a tall order to begin with but some folks here want to make it QB DE and WR. Good luck with all that
-
You mean to tell me people want to talk about how we possibly took a corner over a young franchise QB?
-
It's funny seeing the scenarios people are creating in their heads of what we could have done with those 2 firsts. Like yeah I wouldn't mind having them but put yourself in someone else's shoes. If you're the Ravens GM and you are at all concerned about your own job security you take that for 25 year old Lamar Jackson and hit the reset button? Wake up from the fantasy folks.
-
According to Jay Glazer. You'll have to forgive me for being skeptical about that.

We don't know what we were offered for Moore but I'm going to guess it was not a first and I say that based on other trades for receivers recently. So I'm not going to lose sleep over not taking a dime and a nickle for a 25 year old foundational offensive piece who is not a locker room problem.
-
You guys aren't fully thinking logically. There are legitimate gripes about the non Burns trade. But with Moore that would have resulted in an instant dead cap hit well over 20 million dollars. The salary cap can be worked around but at some point you guys have to allow your rage to subside and start seeing these scenarios through a real world lens. And still some of you think that after still pending lawsuits involving pay to lose allegations and Doug Pederson losing his gig with Philly teams are out here tanking in the open. Let's talk football and leave all the conspiracy stuff for the tbox.
-
What the hell even is this comparison man? Yes people still talk about our only two Super Bowl seasons. Shocking.

It's been a week now if anyone wants to spend the next several months all the way up to the draft shouting at clouds over the Burns trade that's their choice but I'm good on all that. It didn't happen move on. It's hard to say if the Horn pick was him or Rhule. One or both of them had been extremely hesitant to try and develop a rookie quarterback. Based on how Matt Rhule handled Corral's first TC I will assume it was mostly him. But the in on every deal mentality is used car salesman talk and that's been Fitterer's whole identity to this point. What's it gotten us though? Is there a real plan? We are not trading our way out of this. Add to the pieces we have in place and find the right coaching staff to maximize the talent here and develop rookies with those picks we got from the McCaffrey trade. In the meantime we look to be hopefully locking in a top 3 pick. I can live with it.
-
I agree with you but those picks are only gold if we believe in the decision makers. Even if it's not Fitterer it will be someone chosen by David Tepper who thought tasty meatballs and being a former short order cook were legit qualifications to pay a guy 60+ million and give the keys to the franchise.
