  1. I don't think I've seen a player acquisition posted with a high RAS score that turned out well for us.
  2. He waited for the embed. He paid the price.
  3. Good for Fields but this seems like PR put out by the team. They probably got offered a better 6th by a team he preferred not to be traded to. If a Darnold package was on the table you know they wouldn't have turned it down.
  4. Look I really hope that Dan Morgan works out as GM. I hope that the moves that were made are good, and I hope our draft goes well. But here's the thing with this comparison with Fitterer. Lets look at the Burns trade. I don't know if its confirmed, but the rumor is that Morgan was in support of Fitterer's decision to turn down the Rams offer. You know the reason for that? It's because if this team didn't improve, the most likely outcome is Fitterer and Morgan are both getting fired. And neither of those guys is around to use the 1sts that were in 2024 and 2025. So in retrospect, Fitterer made the right call in turning down the trade. Dumping Burns then for those picks wasn't going to help their chances of survival to actually use those picks. There is absolutely no way that Dan Morgan thought he was going to inherit the job after Scott got fired. He had to assume the most likely outcome was both of them being ousted. Now that his clock has reset with his promotion to GM, he's willing to move Burns for picks. What I'm getting at here is the real difference between Fitterer and Morgan so far is their timeline. When Fitterer joined the team the plan (seemingly from ownership) was to win immediately with mediocre to bad QBs from Free Agency or trades. When that didn't work, they decided to throw everything at drafting Bryce young. And now here we are, and maybe ownership has learned that we need to actually build the team and stop taking shortcuts. And Morgan is in a position to benefit from that. Fitterer was garbage, but its way too early to tell if Morgan will be any better at building a roster.
  5. The real question is taking 2 WRs in the 2nd round a good idea?
  6. Well and not just that. Its potentially disgruntled Burns playing on the franchise tag for this cellar dweller team. I don't think he reaches his potential in that situation, and it makes more sense to replace him with someone new who's cheaper and temporary.
  7. I would put them in two different tiers, although they are functionally the same. Dog poo and slightly better than dog poo.
  8. He sucks but come on. He's better than Thomas.
  9. If Pete was still HC I'd say this is a great move for him. Not so sure with the new staff.
  10. Imagine if we had not done the trade, and we instead decided to start Matt Corral last season. And let's say he hypothetically has the same supporting cast, and performed exactly the same as Bryce. In that scenario, there is no way we aren't taking a QB with the #1 overall pick. The only reason that Bryce is getting year 2 is because that's the only real option. He isn't replaceable until at least the next draft.
  11. Granted he could fall off a cliff in the blink of an eye at 37, but he put up a 80 grade on PFF overall last year. He's a monster of a man and for the right deal I'd love to have him on our team to finish his career.
  12. I'll take one 37 year old Calais Campbell please.
  13. Drafting 2 WRs in this draft and missing on both would be the most Panthers thing ever.
  14. I don’t blame him and I know he’s not the only one that has felt that way. I’m just not sure why he said anything about it publicly.
  15. For what its worth, his PFF grade is basically identical to Burns last year.
  16. Fingerprints of a Hurney draft all over it.
  17. Noooo don’t sign Chase Young! We already have DJ Johnson. We’re good!
  18. Mediocre offense? I didn't know you were an optimist.
  19. I'm wondering if Icky is as bad of a fit for the scheme as Bozeman was. There's no room for him to start at guard, and it sounds like BC is moving to the left tackle spot.
  20. I mean if he made that deal he's not making the picks. Wasn't it this year and next year's draft for the 1sts? So in a weird way, it kind of proves Scott right for not taking the deal. He didn't survive long enough even with keeping Brian Burns on the roster. If he dumped him for picks we certainly aren't doing any better last year.
  21. If anyone can get next year's defense from 32nd to 22nd its Evero though.
