I’m a fan of CJ and like the trade so far. Hope he continues playing well enough to be here opposite Horn for a long time!

Chinn for Allen. Maybe see if they’ll add a pick in there too.

I honestly don’t think Watson will end up a better option than Brissett even through next year. Watson has had too much time off and too many distractions. Plus, Brissett at QB forces the Browns to do what they do best….run the football. They’ll probably be idiots and try to throw more with Watson at QB and their offense will suffer for it.

That's the QB draft class to land a franchise player. Caleb Williams & Drake Maye >> Stroud, Young, Levis I'd be thrilled with Will Anderson this year. Consider trading Burns for a 1 & 3/4 in 2024 and then we have ammo to move up for one of those two QBs (if we aren't in that draft position already).

This has been the most enjoyable thread on the Huddle for me this year. Good insight and info. It’s appreciated! Hopefully the next review is of a win.

Not only was DJ double covered, but one DB had inside leverage to DJ’s in-breaking route. I can’t fault Baker for looking away from that to see what may be developing on the other side.

Fitt was announced as Panthers GM on 1/14/21, so he’s still a fresh hire. I still think the talent on our roster and cap situation has improved over the last two years he’s been here. Plus, I like how active he’s been in making moves. Makes it more interesting to follow as a fan.

I agree with you at RB. Mike Davis is a better back than Hubbard or Foreman. Signing him to the same deal he got with the Falcons (2 year, < 3mil per) would have been fine with me. WR - I liked Samuel, but I think Shenault can have a similar impact once he’s up to speed on the offense. Even if he isn’t Samuels’ equal, the depth of Shenault/Higgins/Smith/TMJ makes me feel better about this group. TE - Tremble/Thomas/Sullivan are at least equal to Thomas/Manhertz/Colin Thompson imo, and potential is also on their side.

No way can I see calling OL and LB a wash. I went back and looked to see if I missed someone and I’m confused by your thinking there. I agree that Samuel was a weapon, but the depth of our WR room now gives it the edge, imo. I don’t see any group except DE that <maybe> isn’t improved from a talent standpoint.

I don’t get this response. Here is our 2020 roster that Fitt came into: https://www.footballdb.com/teams/nfl/carolina-panthers/roster/2020?sort=pos Please look it over and let me know which position groups you think are not improved. DE?

Can’t win the 4QC games with the QBs we’ve trotted out the last couple of years. We can with Baker, and Week 1 should have been the first.

It’s better than it was when he arrived.

Sure, I do. Doesn’t mean I can’t disagree with it. Do you think that call directly contributed to the Browns having the last second FG opportunity?

So one of the best RBs in the NFL gained a lot yards? We expected that, didn’t we? Why are you just choosing to ignore that we fought hard to take the lead and were hosed by the refs to take it away?

No. You should continue being the whiny fan you are.

I’m good as well. Just tired of hearing whiny fans complaining incessantly.

The one where we scored the go ahead TD with a little over a minute left and then the refs gave the Browns a FG opportunity they didn’t earn. Feel free to refute any of the above.

I’m overreacting. It was his first NFL game ever against one of the toughest assignments in the NFL. He’ll get better, but I agree he is better suited for guard right now (and maybe forever).

So will you as a fan. We won the game until the refs took the game in their hands and gifted the Browns a field goal.

Idiocy

Your boy Ekwonu sucks

Only 5 of the 11 picks came in the first four rounds. Just because we had 6 picks in the last three rounds doesn’t mean we should expect more than a typical late round value.

Roster and Salary Cap are better off. That translates to a job well done by the GM, so far. With that said, it would have been pretty difficult to put us in worse shape in both when he came in.

I’m a big fan. Look at our roster now versus before he got here and we’re better in most position groups.
