I'd like to believe we're just trying to make Houston think there's a crunch to get a deal done with us but a stupid move like this that treats 1st round picks with wanton disregard is right in Seattle's wheelhouse

if this team gives up a 1st round pick for Matt Stafford I am done

I don't think he can nuke his way out, if he makes Houston look desperate, nobody is going to offer them much, and this is one of those scenarios where youd rather get nothing, at least for a little while, then face the embarrassment of a fire sale

Me, I did, just as I begged the team going into the offseason before Cam's final season here to be cognizant of the real possibility that it would be his final season and to stockpile a few draft picks for a deep QB class the following season Look, I am not saying I should be the general manager of the Carolina panthers I am just saying Justin Herbert would be our QB if I were

we warned tepper this would happen with the Bridgewater signing but like a small child *just has* to verify first hand that the stove is, indeed, hot, he just had to see it play out

top 10 phrases said just before disaster

I didn't realize there were only two options, thanks for enlightening me

Gantt is still stuck in this fox era view of panthers football where the ultimate goal is for the panthers to stay in their lane, make the sensible, safe, economical move and build a really scrappy roster that contends for a wild card spot

if there's one thing Darin Gantt us good at, it's having opinions that don't match NFL franchises'

you have absolutely no point of reference for this, and it really ultimately isn't about what he does, it's about what he should do

8 is well within trade up range

wow so you have no idea and want to stake the long-term success of our franchise on a hypothetical because you think we can get a couple seasons to "make some noise" I'm convinced, let's dig into those high value spots were now afforded the luxury of taking

and what pick are we gonna have when the time comes to transition

the source of every awful QB take on this board centers around "being economical" It's okay to get a terrible player like Sam darnold, as long as you don't have to give up a bunch, afterall, when the cap space and draft picks are factored into our W/L record at the end of the season, were gonna wanna be well off there The panthers need to spend big-they need to spend high draft picks, lots of them if necessary, and spend a whole lot of cap space if necessary as well Spend spend spend and get an elite franchise player

i also would relegate my "in budget" moves to the QB position

let some desperate team get Detroit's sloppy seconds

getting Stafford is the next phase of QB purgatory so many warned about when we signed Bridgewater next we'll use a high 2nd round pick on one

I don't care about "getting an upgrade," the focus needs to be on building a roster that dominates the conference for the long term, with an elite franchise QB

really no choice but to move up now, hopefully Stafford goes to the jets

why don't you go take a sneak peek at Seattle's recent draft history the patriots are another example of a poorly drafting team that rode a hall of fame QB to perennial success, earning the acclaim of little brain fans who cling to it so tightly because it sounds just so smart and is so great for the cap, which of course, is the ultimate litmus indicator of a successful team

if we're gonna start trading away a bunch of 1st round picks for a surplus of mid rounders then maybe should just go ahead and pull the trigger on Watson

The jets might not even go QB, what is it you think the Texans are gonna draft if they get in at 2 or 3 the best scenario for us is that everybody stays right where they are

The teams that didn't win a pointless game against Dwayne Haskins

there is no team better suited than us to control the balance of power in the nfc for the long term going forward, save perhaps San Fran chase that, not a couple good seasons with somebody else's hand me down

and there's nothing anybody can do to change that Anyways, I really like this guy here
