I'm a fan of the Panthers. The issue at hand here is trade compensation. We got fleeced. We're the worst team in the league in large part because we're making quite the habit of getting fleeced.

No, they didn't. He was on the final year of his rookie contract playing under his fifth year option.

How many playoff games have we appeared in since Tepper bought the team?

We've already gutted the D so go for it. Sign the best OL we can. Trade for Higgins. Give Bryce no excuses. Just be ready to move on if he still looks like trash.

Not true. Mack was going into his fifth year playing under his fifth year option. The Bears immediately inked him to a new deal making him the highest paid edge rusher in the league.

The Bears immediately inked Mack to a new deal within hours of the trade making him the highest paid edge rusher in the league.

We drafted Bryce Young and Jonathan Mingo. The Texans drafted CJ Stroud and Tank Dell. And...

Watch us make Higgins the highest paid WR in the league... and he'll have 600 yards and two TDs.

I've been saying without joking that the Panthers would be better ran if decisions were being made via Huddle poll. I mean, could we do any worse than last?

Which means it's DEFINITELY happening.

Well, it won't be happening in practice. My main is gonna have ALL DAY back there facing our new pass rush. LOL

Many of us have been begging for a tank year for years. Of course we do it going into a year projected to have a weak QB class.

A contract? Hell, I'm gonna start warming up. We gotta field a defense somehow. They're gonna have to sign SOMEBODY. Why not me? LOL!

Well, we have WRs. They might not be much but we do have them. We don't have an edge group. lol

Honestly, Evero just needs to email his resignation Don't even bother showing up for work tomorrow. He's George Pickett at Gettysburg.

someone to me too Tepper

That's my fear. It looks like we're gutting the D so that we can build an offense that the super processor might be able to look at least serviceable.

No. At this point I'm honestly practically begging this organization to do something I would view as unforgivable to give me my out.

Not just Bryce, the whole thing. Look at our receiver group. Look at our TEs. Look at our RBs. Every unit ranges from below average to worst in the league. Bryce just further weighs it down.

Freed up? We gave it to a guard. Burns was getting traded. We just panicked. Remember how the Jets slow rolled us with Darnold and had us bidding against ourselves? We just continually demonstrate that we're the suckers of the league.

Bingo. Two 2nds should've been the absolute bare minimum and honestly I would've held out for their '25 1st though Morgan would've probably taken the two 2nds instead knowing Tepper might rage fire him three weeks into the season anyway.

OGs are facilitators not producers. Look who he's facilitating for. He could be the greatest OG in the history and future of football and our offense would still be trash.

The real reason it's so awful is the value we got in return. The Giants made him the second highest paid pass rusher in the league and only gave up a 2nd and a 5th to get him. The last time I remember a pass rusher like that getting traded was when Khalil Mack got traded to the Bears. Now I think Mack was the better player but they were comparable. Mack became the highest paid edge rusher and had 40.5 sacks over the previous four years. Burns is the 2nd highest paid edge rusher and he has 38.5 sacks over the previous four years. There's a reason why the Rams offered us two 1sts and the reason was largely the standard the Khalil Mack trade set. What did the Raiders get for Mack? Two 1sts, a 3rd, and a 6th. We got robbed.

Don't worry. Based on our recent track record it'll be way more depressing when we see what we turn this 2nd and 5th into.

This train. And it was transporting garbage.
