Confused Why Some Seem to Think We Got Fleeced

[Chosen Newton]

Cuz next years first is also a top 5 pick with the state of our roster. So yes we have up a lot and bears got a lot only to move back 8 spots

Nope. It just shows we're exploring all options.

Our roster for this season is far from finished. Way too early to know any of that.

Did the Bears pick up the tab on D.J's contract or we still on the hook for any of that cash?

Who the fug says we're trying to trade back?

Yeah, I was with him until the Burns trade scenario. Not sure I'm onboard with all that. But if Fitts could pull Hopkins and Thielen... and throw in a receiving TE.

A young QB would be in pretty good shape for the next 2 years. 

Everyone keeps saying we need a second corner.  Did Donte Jackson get traded or something?

 Both of those statements are called a “false dilemma”.

It freed up about 10 mil this year and off the books after that.

My thoughts on the DJ Moore trade as it pertains to Scott Fitterer is basically that bit on Robot Chicken where Ang Lee is talking about how The Hulk surely won't be a giant flop that ruins his career. I hope Scott is the GM some folks here believe him to be.

We stole that pick.  Also love that the other 2nd was 2025 and not next years

A lot of casual fans especially from other teams didn't even realize/research that we had two 2nd round picks this year

Even A lot of panther fans on social media think it's too much of a gamble or bad trade. It's crazy how divided it seems even if most of us on the huddle think it's a good move.

 

I mostly chalk it up to emotional responses to losing DJ. That's where the brunt of the really vocal complaints are coming from.

Other than that you really can't bitch about the picks we gave its standard fair for that level of trade up and onlu 1 additional first... we still have the majority of our draft picks for the next 2 drafts we're missing one pick from both thats not the end of the fuging universe 

It's almost useless trying to argue with them too. They wont stop moaning unless the qb we pick is good and we have a good season.

Probably people going off those tweets that say panthers are still open to trade down and comfortable with multiple qbs

There's ALOT of panther fans talking about this in general. And it's not going to stop until draft day

 

Trade down would be stupid imo because there's no way we could recoup what we gave up to move up. And if we got close to doing that we'd probably be SoL in terms of getting a top 2 QB which means that  initial trade up to 1 was kinda stupid and pointless (could've traded up to 3 for a lot cheaper for example).

 Watch this please.. 

We’re not really serious about the trade back thing..

[Sub Zero]

There is a unsaid rule from the league office for the team with the 1st pick to try for as long as they can to keep that pick a mystery.. To have some kind of drama on draft night for theatrical purposes..

I think it was a fair trade on both sides. You want the #1 pick you have to give up assets. Anyway, we will not know who really won the trade for another 2-3 years. Carolina is banking on the QB they draft being successful. Chicago is banking making the right picks with the draft capital they got back. Chicago is also hoping Carolina will have a bad record in 23, since they will be without their top WR, hopefully starting a rookie QB and new coaching staff. Personally, I hope whichever QB you select has a great career after 2025.

yeah I agree ...but at the same time you have to think realistically okay then  that this team is not going to win alot of games next year & especially with a rookie Qb starting.

 so realistically one would have to think think this team has no better record this season coming up than this past one.sending next year at least a top #5 pick back to the Bears next year possibly even  the #1 overall right back to them

 

yeah we got fleeced...just saying
