Fitterer definitely should have predicted that, months later, the Jags would be willing to cut bait on Henderson at a loss and Gilmore and New England would reach an impasse in extension talks.

 

Yeeesh. 

That's not what I said it's just a matter of reality. We're all seeking the same result we just don't want the oline which has been a thorn for years to hold us back from all this potential yet again. We are putting a huge amount of resources in this defense but if our quarterback can't do his job it's all for naught.

lol, that's like saying "Seeing Bitcoin at $50k now makes me wonder more if I should have bought it at $20 ten years ago instead of that McDonald"...

How was Fitt supposed to know that he going to get these guys for at this price?

And besides, Jaycee Horn is an All-Pro CB in the making.  I don't think people realize how good he is in man coverage, but they will.  I would have been cool with us drafting him even if we had already acquired Gilmore.  

We'll get the OL fixed.  Ya'll really think a GM who is this proactive in fixing our issues is going to let the OL keep sucking for another season?  Let's just be patient ya'll.  I mean do ya'll remember how bad our secondary was in 2019?  Look how fast we fixed it.  Remember how bad our DL was in 2019?  Look how fast we fixed it.  We got this.

Or we created a scenario that will likely net us a 3rd or 4th rd comp pick for a 6th

bingo. the pick given is a 2023 pick, which just happens to be the same year the Panthers would get a comp pick for Gilmore if he doesn't re-sign this offseason. and yeah, I'd probably put money on that comp pick being higher than a 6th. of course this is dependent on other FA moves the team might make after this year.

Pretty clear they just thought Horn was the better prospect. And at #8 overall, you should be taking the best guy on your board. End of story. There is no way to predict that months later he'd have the chance to trade for multiple quality starting CBs in the middle of the season.

Re-sign him, let D-Jax go at the end of the season and next year we’re looking at:

Stephon Gilmore

Jaycee Horn

CJ Henderson

Troy Pride

😳😳😳

Man, if Chinn moves back to SS and we can get a decent FS next year….oh boy. 

Did you mean to put Pride’s name in with those other guys?

Had Pride not gotten hurt, he most likely would’ve gotten cut

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
