And you say you're open, but there was a deal last year for 2 1sts and what ended up being basically a 1st. If that deal isn't/wasn't good enough for someone then they aren't actually open to trading in a realistic sense. 

I said from the beginning I was never a fan of the Rams trade.

 

I think the real missed opportunity was trading Moore instead of Burns. I think Moore made more sense to keep in that scenario given we were trading for our young franchise QB. Instead of having to rely on other young WR's we would have Moore/Thielen two reliable targets for a young QB.

 

That Burns trade made more sense then trading him for 2 more rookies. That's just me though, I can respect others opinion if they disagree.

Offense seems more formidable with Moore/Sanders/Thielen as your skill players. Now that's how you make your young rookie QB more comfortable give him proven talent around him he can trust from day 1.

Fitt also gave Young a backfield of rushers and not a single proven pass catcher.   

Miles Sanders to date is a decent committee rusher.  That's what he has proven to be.  We should be forced into a lot of passing this year.   Young needs a reliable pass catcher in the backfield.  Not hope/belief.  

Fitt IMO hasn't done a great job around his #1 overall rookie QB.    Much like is preseason, the rookie is going to have to play extremely well for us to compete IMO given what he has around him.

Why do you say this with certainty?

Our recent past and the fact we haven't been a good football team.  Then you look at life of the standard great rookie QB drafted high.   We traded CMC.  Combine all that. 

If we play a good football team, we are going to have to pass to attempt to compete.  Plus, the league is designed for that to be how you move the ball.

I mean Bryce Young didn't come free...

 

I said I wish he traded Burns instead of Moore in that scenario. He got Mingo in the 2nd so lets not judge him until we see what we have in Mingo.

Mingo is still a rookie.  The bar and load some are expecting from them just unreasonable.  They both have to learn and grow.  Time.  Not carry the pass game out the gate. 

was TMJ ready for a big load as a rookie? Nah. And that's normal.  And he was a better collegiate WR than Mingo. 

I mean, anything can happen. But expectations should not be for the exception of things. And then doing that across the board for everyone. 

Bryce Young being better than every other uber talented highly drafted QB out the gate. 

Mingo being a day 1 contributor. 

Miles Sanders going from being bad for years in the pass game to being CMC lite. 

Chark staying healthy

Theilen hitting a time machine

and on and on.

Never judge a book by its cover.

 

Read the book let it play out. Judging it before you read it could backfire especially if it was a good book.

I disagree with this take. It's a completely new system, and we will be a run heavy offense. Even in the Athletic article is was acknlowedged by league execs that we will be a team that relies on it's defense and running offense. 

If we are able run the ball... then i dont think the two reasons you have shared plays any role in how our offense is run.

DJ Moore was not a game breaker. Full stop. DJ Moore broke one game and then got a penalty and lost us the game. Good player, but I can’t believe some of y’all are suggested we should’ve traded Burns instead of Moore. Ewwww.

I mean, if the primary focus is and should be about growing your #1 overall QB.....I'd rather have Moore.  

What the most important thing in Carolina right now? How many wins you squeak out or how good you can get Bryce Young going?

There are 2 partners in a trade.

I'm a Burns fan. 

I'm not a fan of our GM doing dumb stuff.  Hopefully Fitt gets him signed to a reasonable deal.  And if he doesn't?  I won't have an issue with Burns.  I'll have an issue with the front office. 

I feel like taking that deal for Burns only works out if we're committing to a full scale rebuild which we aren't. 3 picks in 3 separate drafts we wouldn't have been able to replace Burns this year with that. And while we wait for year 2 or 3 of the rebuild we are also wasting the years and rookie contracts of Derrick Brown, Jaycee Horn, Chinn, and even Young. whereas with Burns it gives us a more complete defense. Hopefully a top 10 at worst top 15 unit this year (hopefully). Next year when we have even more ammunition we could see a nice 3-5 year window with this core of players and hopefully have a Seahawks LoB/Russell Wilson type team if it all works out.

      Some love for Steve Wilks

      By frankw · Posted

      I'm not saying he should be working in the NFL. He did deserve some criticism as DC there. But Kyle Shanahan certainly did use him as a convenient scapegoat. Now there is no one left to throw under the bus. Anyways he could find his way back to the league in some capacity who knows. But he's old school and in the NFL you either adjust or you get left behind. All the same no hard feelings toward him he's a good guy.

      Is it too early to lock up Horn to a long term deal?

      By CRA · Posted

      he has barely suited up for 50% of our games.  It matters pending how much of our cap and resources go that way.  If he cost in the ballpark of a Surtain? No thank you.  Let someone else  And as far we know what happens when we let talent walk away or trade them…..that’s a mixed bag.   should we of paid Norman, Bradberry at CB? They probably had earned the right to be called better than Horn at that moment of the decision.  Do we regret that? Do we regret Star walking? Can take it back to Spoon.  Flip side is probably Peppers.

      Bryce Young what a crazy statement

      By frankw · Posted

      We need to get better in the redzone. And yes that is an issue that involves all the moving parts. Oline receivers QB and playcalling. But Bryce himself has to lead the charge on that or surely we could face another blowout in one of these upcoming games. Every team no matter how good they are is going to face an opponent that imposes their will on them and requires the same in response. Those are the games where we have got to capitalize on drives. Honestly I get the sense that the Chiefs on some level overlooked us.  So while I am pleased we were as competitive as we were it certainly remains to be seen if this was the beginning for something new or just an anomaly. I think that's a perfectly fair take at this juncture.
