Some of y’all are losing it. 
 

Lobbying against the best QB in the upcoming draft because he ‘might get injured.’ Now complaining when we received significant draft capital for a player who actually has been injured most of the last two years. 

The same people would be losing their poo if he were to get hurt at some point in the next 11 games and saying we should have traded him for whatever we could get.

I look forward to the day Fitterer is fired

Isn’t this what you wanted? All this should have seemed inevitable the day Matt Rhule was fired. And if I remember correctly, you were one of the engineers on the “Fire Matt Rhule” train. So embrace it, love it, and feel proud that you got what you wanted.

The truth is that good, and great players will not sit through two rebuilds as it diminishes their value, or capital potential for a new contract after the current one expires. 

It should be apparent to you, and everyone else, that this offense that the next coach will build will be open to any style that they prefer and may be completely different to what they have played over the past four years.

I assumed people would be ok with getting decent picks for an of injured running back. 

 

Think people wanted the first.   Value looked to be there given what we got. 

So it’s only natural that it stirs up our GM’s tendency to value quantity over quality with draft picks.

all the “mock drafts are more important than players” people will be happy but as we saw with fitterer’s original draft here-a pointless slew of mid round picks a good football team does not make

this was just fitterer chasing his own tail trying to rectify the mistakes he made

”we can’t have just four picks!”

lol you’re the one that gave them away. Take your medicine.

this honestly reminds me of the post lockout spending spree.

What would've been the point of us grinding down and already injury prone CMC into the dirt the remaining 11 games when we know we are going to keep losing and further hurting his trade value and while having him being the highest paid RB in the league. The free agent RB class this year is super deep, and you can sign someone for pennies on the dollar compared to what we would've been paying CMC and probably receive similar production. Then there's the draft which always has late round starting RB's come out every year. Despite how great of a player CMC is it's the modern NFL and RB's are a dime a dozen.

      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...
