We have to be better talent evaluators than that. We can’t be afraid of drafting players to build our team. 

Gonna probably need to dump the GM to increase your odds of hitting a Brian Burns. Even with the world's best evaluators, it's an inexact science. I'm not a proponent of giving away something guaranteed for the chance at something as good as what was being given away.

Then you have to learn how to spend your CAP wisely. It’s a two edged sword, I get both sides.

nah they got one for cheaper in FA

 

Would you trade Burns if it was guaranteed you would have back to back top 10 picks?

So they got really lucky?

No, because our depth is trash and that would guarantee us 1-2 terrible seasons until we claim those picks.

I WOULD have traded him for 2 first rounders and a 2nd this past draft though.

I don’t follow. Did they trade their best D player for a 2025 They draft players that provide immediate impact. And by the way, LA offered 2 first rounders.


LA offered a 2024 and a 2025 1st. It wasn’t for this past draft.

To do what with those picks? Hopefully draft a Brian Burns?

well, we have a rookie QB we need to build around.  Just bandaids on the roster.  You could spend a first round pick on a freak skill player…..a first round pick on a freak pass rusher.  Both on rookie deals.

or you use those pick and alter the Bryce Young trade.  DJ Moore is still a Panther and you still got ammo for the draft

or use those picks to move in drafts/trades and whatever Mr. In On Every Deal could find.

all sorts of stuff you could do

      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...
