Gotta remember, it's Matt Rhule. If THE Sam Darnold is worth a 2nd, 4th, and 6th then Jimmy G for next year's 1st is a steal. An absolute STEAL I tell ya! Unless by "a player" you mean a Brian Burns or Jeremy Chinn or DJ Moore type player. Oh wee mayne. I could see it. Burns and a 3rd for Jimmy G after we draft a pass rusher #6 overall. Probably that bust looking for a place to happen out of Oregon.

I'm so accustomed to watching this organization do mind numbingly stupid things that it's going to be really difficult to shock me with anything. Let's see... re-sign Reddick then draft another pass rusher at #6 overall, trade next year's 1st for Jimmy G then massively overpay for some poo tier FA OL again... yeah, that sounds about right.

We're the worst organization in the NFL. These are the types of deals you have to offer to even borderline roster caliber quality players to get them to put pen to paper. It's a good indicator of what to expect in FA. Prepare to pay premium prices for everyone else's trash!

Who here is "screaming" for Trubisky? You're imagining this. We've been in "throw mud at the wall" mode at QB for years now. This is just a throw mud at the wall thread but that's enough to trigger the ABCers

This is also true. Which is why it makes perfect sense that he seems enamored with Pickett.

In regards to college sports, yeah bro you're pretty trolly. You rarely miss a chance to take a swipe at another local school or over the top praise a former Heel.

No, because that scenario sounds like Matt Rhule basically already has a 4th year in the bag. Nothing about that is exciting.

Probably someone moving up to target a pass rusher or an OT.

In his defense, it's gotta be kinda shocking when a catchable ball comes his way.

You just don't see the same visceral reaction when an NCSU player is brought up. If there's an NCSU player who can help us out, hell yeah! Bring him in. But a UNC player gets brought up and the ABCers complain for pages on end about how these imaginary UNC fanboys are ruining the forum.

Look at how this thread is dominated by ABCers (anybody but Carolina) complaining about UNC fans. I rest my case on the "real problem". Y'all really gotta stop derailing any and every thread where a UNC player gets brought up. Don't kid yourselves, it's YOU who is derailing threads constantly. There's one UNC troll (4Corners) and about a dozen of you ABCers.

I mean, you're describing life. When you're a valuable asset or a big time producer you get to play by a different set of rules than the average Joe. That's the case in the NFL and it's the case in life. Sucks, but life ain't fair. Don't take that as a defense of Matt Rhule, the guy is a moron. It's just a statement of reality.

I've been saying that ever since it became obvious he wasn't getting fired. You have a desperate man with full control and minimal NFL experience to lean on. Every team in the league is going to be lining up to try to fleece him and pick this carcass clean.

Shockingly enough, the Bears' and Bengals' OLs were even worse than ours in pass protection.

Because Rhule is desperate to save his job.

I agree that the choices at #6 boil down to QB, OT, or trade. Any other choice is utterly unacceptable.

I wonder if the Panthers could manage a winning record in a second rate professional league?

Probably because it was the only GM job he was being offered or seriously considered for. Beggars can't be choosers.

This is like a car manufacturer producing overpriced, terrible, unreliable vehicles and then someone with one sitting in their driveway trying to mock other people for not wanting to buy one of the overpriced, terrible, unreliable vehicles. But look, the left turn signal works and it only uses a quart of oil between fuel refills! Maybe the 7th recall will be the one that fixes the myriad of issues! It used two quarts of oil per tank of gas before the last recall! The process is working! 1000%

Yes, he spent almost all of his draft assets to build a middle of the road defense while trying to patch together an offense with afterthought vets in an offense driven league. Brilliant.

Doing nothing is better than making increasingly terrible mistakes. If we had done nothing we'd be no worse off and we'd still have those 2nd and 4th round picks this year. We also wouldn't be on the hook to pay Darnold $18M next year. Yes, Teddy wasn't good and I was fine with moving on from him. But trading for Darnold and picking up that option was idiotic. I said so at the time. Rhule and company continue to make idiotic decisions and you defend them as if they were the only decisions they could've possibly made. It's lunacy.

Anything is better than trading valuable draft assets for a proven terrible QB and then picking up his fifth year option. I sad at the time I would've either signed Trubisky to a low level FA deal or traded a late round pick for Minshew. And them I would've drafted Justin Fields. You keep saying there were no other options than the terrible options we chose but that is simply not true. You just choose to ignore any other possible options.

There are no decent options at Sam's age unless you're talking about the draft. When 23 year old QBs are available via trade or free agency it's because they are fuging trash. Sam is trash. Most of us called that out at the time. It wasn't hard to see.

We had an opportunity to draft two of KC's starting OL last year. We may have passed on those guys because we had picked up bandaid vet FAs who turned out to be really bad. We could've drafted Trey Lance or Mac Jones or Davis Mills. No, we had THE Sam Darnold. We could've signed Trubisky to a FA deal or traded a late round pick for Minshew to get a better bridge QB than Darnold, but no we had to go all in on THE Sam Darnold. Our issue has not been a lack of options or opportunities. Our issue has been that we have morons calling the shots and they've been making moronic decisions.
