Who dat dat said no fire sale.?

here is how you need to look at it: Half of the first rounders bust. 2/3 of the second rounders bust. For Burns, I would need 2 first rounders (Eagles) and additional picks (Chiefs). Forget the Rams--they don't have any first round picks until 2035 or something--but the Eagles are in position to make an aggressive move The Chiefs could surrender a first in 2023 and 2024 and they also have about 11 more 2023 picks--two third rounders. I would take the third rounders in 2023 and the two first rounders. The Eagles have the Saints first rounder in 2023 and what will likely be a pick around #30. If the Panthers get the Saints pick (likely a top 10 pick) then I would consider taking both picks or the Saint's pick and a bunch of other picks.

This might be the lowest point in Panther history.

Here is how I see it: A RBs production (on average) tends to start a downward slope around age 27. CMC has been banged up. Will he last until he is 29 at this rate? If he is relevant when we are not, he may be better off traded. I love CMC, and I hope he has a long career, but I do not see this offense (without a QB) as a year away--I see it as 2-3 years away.

There are reports today that the Rams and Niners are interested in CMC. Have they been debunked?

Damn good thread.

What is that Angry Bird over there doing? ----Robbie Anderson

I think they would have--getting the picks and the cap relief was great.

with a good QB, he could be good. How can you judge a WR here? I am happier about the cap relief more than the picks.

the picks are 2024 and 2025

Get ready, mascot: "What's that chicken doing over there?"

GOOD point, but the report I heard said the Panthers wanted a first rounder OR multiple other picks. The Rams have a second and a third, to the best of my knowledge. In addition, they are (at some point) going to get some comp picks.

It is so hard to find a college QB who is successful in the NFL. I think it is luck for the most part, then offensive roster, then talent.

Might be the best thread ever.

I predict that the Rams trade for CMC after this game-- And how did I know Robbie Anderson would become a turd? Call me psychic, psychotic, or something.

Seriously? Your offense has 1 fg. This is way too conservative.

Surtain is having a good career so far.

The guy was undrafted and cut twice--a 5'9", 225 lb. linebacker. He was very limited as an athlete, but unlimited as a player. "Keep Pounding" were his words, and anyone who thinks they are not inspiring or applicable to how we should all approach life probably will never understand what it takes to be great.

Tanking? Since when have we been good enough to do that?

Yeah, I see that. These late bloomers are tough to gauge.

He will be 25 as a rookie. From Dudley High in Greensboro. I am not sure about it, but his age works more to his disadvantage than ours--we would be getting a more mature QB on a rookie contract until he is 30. That is one way of looking at it. Now, is he ready to play day 1? That is the question we need to be asking.

Although I would argue that it is past time for a "The Way of the Huddle" pamphlet. Perhaps my timing is bad here.

As we abandon the college Snow Defense, I expect to see YGM emerge.

It's time, Scot.

What the hell does that even mean? Was he ever "set?"
