If Bryce busts, was that the worst trade in the history of the NFL?

I don't see how you can evaluate a trade except by taking the outcome into account. Evaluating the hypothetical value is pointless.

That's like rationalizing spending $100k on lottery tickets because you COULD have won the Powerball that's worth billions. That logic didn't work on my wife, and it doesn't work here.

The time to debate the value of the trade up to #1 should taken place before the pick was made. Now it's made, so the trade should be evaluated based on what Bryce cost us, what Bryce has produced, and the icing on this shitcake is witnessing the opportunity cost in the form of Stroud.

I don't disagree. But as someone has said if we had made the same trade and drafted Stroud nobody would consider it a bad deal. There are some who argued before we even made the pick that it wasn't worth it regardless of whether we picked a franchise QB or a bust, which is nonsense.

If CMC ends up with a HOF career then the Panthers trade to the 49’ers ends up being the worst Panthers trade…..I was shocked by how little they got for one of the best offensive weapons in the game. He is more than a RB…..

 

terrible contract and he was never able to stay healthy. Remember, he only played 10 games the previous two seasons. Most observers praised the compensation the panthers received for that trade, and as bitter a pill it is to swallow I think it as the good move. They just didn't follow it up with good moves so it makes things worse in retrospect. They took those picks and let Tepper's wife draft a 35 year old linebacker who has barely cracked the roster. 

The world where CMC is still doing well with the Panthers is also probably a world Reich isn't hired, Wilkes is given the HC position, and Bryce is never drafted. Obviously we all want that world. CMC on this current version of the Panthers would be completely wasted. Just getting tee'd off on behind the line of scrimmage and would probably be hurt. It'd be like the end of 2019 when they were just force feeding him to get him a record. 

It sucks but I'm glad he's not here. Dude might win MVP this year and all Panthers fans should be happy for him. If they win the Super Bowl, I'll be cheering for him. Guy was the definition of class as a Panther, embodied Keep Pounding if ANYONE did, and if they want to put him in the ring of honor one day I'd be all for it.

Worst because he was so clearly inadequate. Herschel was a beast, a proven player. 

If I were a Vikes fan I wouldn’t say that but this is the worst case ever for a team, I don’t know what was worse. This has monumental consequences if The Panthers are of any kind of importance to you. 

 

BTW These morning guys on WFNZ are truly tards, while I am venting.

A definition of a colossal bust carries so much weight. If you miss on players like Jamarcus Russell or Ryan leaf it’s can really set you back a years. The reason this hurts so much with Bryce is the picks we gave away and how much worse the trades made this team horrible ….and here it is…across the board. The whole team is trash because of losing those pics and trading away players.  
 

I personally think this was one f the worst trades in NFL history because of how bad it made the team.

It’s gonna suck when the Bears recreate the Cowboy’s 90s dynasty off of our stupidity

Trading Moore made it a bad trade. You don't send what little talent you have away from the rookie QB you are picking, just dumb from any angle. Young and capable WR replaced with another 2nd round typical Panther WR special. Dumb.

Picking Young made it an epically and historically bad trade. Young as a prospect wasn't nearly as good as a lot were yelling everywhere and it ended up being embarrassingly wrong. Young on this team with how it was built was stupid. Young with Reich was stupid. 

And no the Texans wouldn't be doing great with Young. They would just have wasted 1 first rounder and not another one, a starting WR and even more draft capital. They may have 2 or even 3 wins but if you think Young would be lighting it up like Stroud then you are still missing the obvious other parts of why Young is not going to pull out from the bust tailspin he is in now.

They are +2 wins over last season after dealing with us. We are -6 right now. They are showing improvement. We are currently, actually, what your head thinks of the Bears. 

They aren't mutually exclusive.

    • Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of mature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.  Just so you know, I critique and perform research in my job.  I am often amazed at how the numbers do not support my suppositions.  I learned that my impression is often wrong until I look at the data.  In this case, I have considered all the important variables and he should get a shot.  Numbers don't lie--and when you and others resort to twisted name calling directed toward the poster--it verifies my position.  
    • I don’t get this, I know that is the popular thought process but I just don’t think it’s true.  For instance head to head last year the ACC had a winning record against the SEC.  The SEC had a losing record in bowl games. This year so far the head to head is 2-3 SEC and that’s with a fluke Vandy win in week one.  I see the ACC taking another head to head winning season after next week.  The SEC is mostly hype with 3 good teams, in my opinion.  But to say any ACC team would get exposed I believe is a stretch 
    • What the hell?  How is presenting Cam's stats hating him?  The point is not to hate Cam, it is to show you how similar Jones is to him and why you take a look at him.  I mentioned Jones has the skill set to take a look--the response is, "look at his 5 years of performance."  So I compare him to the greatest QB in franchise history, and the stats are similar--while Jones was in a worse situation.  Now that is "hating?"  Come on.  This is a meritless, ignorant, personal attack because you are wrong.  Just stop it.  You all attack the poster when you have nothing.  So saying "we should consider a guy with similar stats and size to Cam Newton" is now hating Cam and making me a Jones super fan- that is just stupid.
