National media bias is real

Cam Newton would have been beloved if he played for Cowboys

Steve Smith would have been considered a top 5 WR of all time and a HOF if he played for the 49ers or Chiefs

Luke Kuechly would be considered one of the best middle LBs of all time if he had played for Steelers or the Ravens

DJ Moore was never even talked about until this trade, suddenly the Bears got themselves a top 5 WR.  LOL

There are exceptions to this, but of course, the pundits are mostly lazy and only research their talking points for the big market teams.  The lack of intelligent analysis and insights are shocking.  

Panthers didn't get fleeced in the trade, if anything they came out slightly ahead in terms of value analysis.  But all that anyone talks about is how smart their GM is, the same GM who traded a 2nd rounder for Chase Claypool, LMAO.

Steve and Luke get a ton of credit and are/were always highly regarded, so while I don't disagree with the general point your inclusion of those two undercuts it.

Also, Carolina has sucked in a boring way (nothing like the Jags/Meyer circus, Hue in Cleveland, etc) while DJ has been in the league and crappy teams don't tend to get attention. Nothing really new there.

Nobody got fleeced in the trade it's an unknown until we see our future QB and DJ Moore in a bears uniform. But folks already declaring Moore a dud in Chicago before he's already suited up may want to slow their roll.

topic is national media.  DJ Moore is no dud but folks acting like we traded Tyreek Hill

Steve and Luke get the minimal credits, they can't be ignored completely, but you're delusional if you don't think they would have been put on much higher pedestal if they played in bigger markets

Obviously he is not Hill or Jefferson or Chase. But the onus is on us to not only replace him but considering we discarded him we must find an even better replacement. Trading him was the easy part.

People and media are saying "BONAFIDE #1" lol Yeah no. I put him in that Gabe Davis, Devonta Smith, Mike Williams range. Moore is a good player, he is not elite like the media is making him out to be.

I think he's somewhere in between, he is a below average WR#1 because he doesn't dominate and barely scores touchdowns.

And I think that both will ultimately achieve the highest honor, as they should, regardless of where they played. Hell, NFL types give them their props right now. At the end of the day that's really all that matters. Once you're in the HOF, you're in the HOF.

Oh no, how will we replace his 888 receiving yards!

You're totally missing the point.  But I'm fine, it's time for Panthers to flip the narrative for the next decade.

      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...
