Confused Why Some Seem to Think We Got Fleeced

At the end of the day it did take 3 1sts because we value Moore as a 1st. We turned down a first from GB for him. The difference is we need some cap room and the Bears need some established player so it works for both teams. I’m glad they took 61 vs 39 this year. 39 should be a solid starter as well. I also wonder if we package our 2 4ths for a 3rd during the draft.

Because they listen to the pundits who are biased toward big market teams like Chicago.  This is a good trade for Chicago too IF Justin Fields develops into a true franchise QB and a competent passer  (jury's still out).  It'll also be interesting to see if  DJ Moore can prove to be the WR1 that Fields needs to do that.  

For the Panthers, it's absolutely a great trade assuming that CJ Stroud or B. Young is our franchise QB for the next 10-15 years.  Simple as that and totally worth it.

I honestly thought we would have to give up two additional firsts and trading DJ instead is better because I'm not sure he has that value with his contract. 

 

This. When I went to look up some opinion videos on the trade it was basically all from Chicago’s perspective. It’s funny how high the opinion is on DJ Moore all of a sudden. Suddenly, he’s some top 5 level WR when the Panthers trade him.

I understand. Do you like the Reich hire? Also who do you think the top QB is? If this was Rhule I would probably be right there with you…

I liked the Reich hire (it was him or Wilks for me), but if he signs off on someone who didn't put up 346 yards in the CFP semifinal, I'll gladly call it a mistake. There's the only player who can transform a franchise for the better in this draft.

But nothing is more Panthers than avoiding that guy. Simply put: if you take a series of options, and predict the worst one with this team, you're gonna be right more than you're wrong. And I'd gladly eat crow if Kyler Jr. pans out. 

If anyone else is the pick, I'll help them pack boxes for their next city.

I thought it was a very fair trade for both teams. So considering how many QB needy teams we needed to jump I thought we did very well 

I think Moore is going to go off in Chicago. He is a much better deep threat than people realize due to our QB situation over the years. Moore and Fields will make for an exciting duo

At the end of the day, nothing matters in this league unless you have your QB. So this was a trade we had to make

You have to have a QB who can actually throw for that to happen. Fields ain’t that guy

So if it’s Stroud are you ok with this trade to get him?

The only way we will know if we go fleeced is to look at this a few years from now.  If we draft Young or Stroud, and they turn out to be the next Patrick Mahomes, it was a great deal.  If we draft one of them and it turns out that the qb is a bust, and the Bears become a playoff contender, then we got fleeced.  

If both teams still suck, then it doesn't matter.

      Verge, why do you like Mykel Williams?

      No, but considering that over a third (~35%) of their schedule are the other three teams in the NFC South and all three have strong starting (and back-up) RBs that the offense leans heavily on to open up the pass game. ATL: Bijan has this season and next season before the Falcons have to make a decision on his fifth-year option, Tyler Allgeier is a proven back-up RB that could start for some teams, and 2024 sixth-round selection Jase McClellan returns from a knee injury that sidelined him for the remainder of the season starting in early September. Combine that with their QB situation, and that's a team that is going to lean heavily on the run just like they did last season when they were 8th in the league in rushing attempts, 10th in rushing yards, 8th in rushing TDs, 9th in rushing attempts on 1st down, . NO: Similar situation as ATL, but for different reasons. Derek Carr is in the second to last year of his deal and the QBs behind him are Spencer Rattler, Jake Haener, and Ben DiNucci. However, they also have Alvin Kamara. One thing that we know about Kellen Moore from his stints as an OC is that he likes to lean heavily on a versatile RB1 while bringing in an arguably equally versatile RB2 to keep their foot on opposing defenses. When Moore had Zeke in Dallas, Zeke was 4th in the league in touches during those four years but Pollard still averaged 10 touches and nearly 60yds a game. Look for the Saints to shore up their RB room in the draft with Kendre Miller, CEH, Jordan Mims, and Xazavian Valladay all competing for touches behind Kamara. TB: Bucky Irving exploded onto the scene last season, but we can't forget more than capable (now-)RB2 Rachaad White. White is on the last year of his rookie deal, but Irving is under contract until 2028. Last season, the Bucs were 10th in rushing attempts, 4th in rushing yards, 3rd in YPC, 7th in carries of 20+, 8th in carries of 40+, and 7th in first down rushing attempts and that helped Baker Mayfield be one of the most efficient passers in the league with a 71.4% completion percentage (good enough for 2nd in the league).
