Unfortunately the market has been set by one franchise that wanted to upend the entire system. Now pivot and react and move forward.
Think of the games in Vegas, Miami, NY etc. the clientele are more worried about the trip than the actual game. Theres a market for this, we just aren’t in it.
The bears won this trade as of today.
there’s a chance Bryce continues to progress. But until Bryce becomes a repetitive pro bowler there’s no way you can say the panthers did anything except absolutely bomb in this trade.
Does this make everyone feel better about Morgan?
a lot of chatter this week about how the panthers telegraph everything and have more leaks than a faucet. Not sure many of us saw this coming even with the late report tet was a wild card for us.
If we were a piece away I’d see us drafting a cornerstone RT with our pick this year to prepare for life without Moton. Unfortunately we aren’t that close and need to fill other holes and hope Moton continues to be serviceable for a few more years.
Greg Olsen spoiled us. Ian Thomas was the most hated panther and he’s gone. We sign someone we drafted in a mid round to continue his development and it’s like we gave him top of the market money. This isn’t really a needle mover but definitely isn’t a horrible move.
