    Seeing Rickey Pearsall have a breakout games makes me even more pissed off about the Legette pick. We literally picked the worst WR of the first two drafts minus Polk. Dude is more concerned about eating road kill than he is hitting the jug machine. 

    Looking back at this thread, there was a lot of kool aid being chugged.  I never liked this draft.

  2. I try hard to judge the moment without bias.  If it’s bad, it’s bad and if it’s good it’s good.  Anyone that had an issue with Bryce today is hedging their bets on history.  Last week was awful, this week was pretty damn solid.  His numbers should have been a bit better if Thielen pulls in that first deep shot.  
     

    I wouldn’t dare pronounce Bryce’s ceiling at this point because if he has showed anything this year, he has showed he won’t quit, he will improve and he’s tough as nails.  I’ve hated on Bryce plenty, but damn he has some heart.

  3. I’m 100% encouraged by how competitive the team has been recently.  We still don’t know how to win but the fight is there and the team and staff are improving without doubt.  It has been a long time since we saw improvement.  It feels like we’re on the right track and that now includes Bryce.  I’m actually eager to watch the team play.  I’ve been very critical of Bryce and it was deserved at the time.  He’s playing much better of late and he deserves credit for that now.

  4. The lack of production is especially surprising given how much effort the team put into coaxing the best from him.  In just six short years he’s had the opportunity to work with 3 different GMs, 7 different head coaches and 10 different starting quarterbacks.  There’s literally no excuse to be made that one of those combos didn’t work.  It might be time to look withIAN.

  5. Many things can be true at the same time.

    Stroud is good.

    Stroud isn’t the same good every game.

    Talent on the team matters.

    Panthers have no talent.

    Bryce sucks.

    These are all true at once.  What Stroud would have done here is unknowable and a matter of conjecture and opinion. My opinion is Stroud would be better than Bryce in ANY situation of equal footing.

  6. I think everyone in the NFL is constantly in win now mode.  No patience or vision will ever get enough rope to develop if it doesn’t work in the first couple years.  Beyond that, NFL maturity and situation make a ton of difference.  Geno, Baker and Darnold are great examples of being better than their reputation under different coaches and situations.

    It has to start with being an outlier athlete first though.  You can’t coach size and speed into someone.

    Again, we gave Pittsburgh a 5th and got back a 7th in the DJ for DJ swap. The 5th we got from Baltimore is cancelled by the 5th we gave Pittsburgh.

    So we really got a 7th for Diontae, Donte and a 6th.

    Not sure why you're saying we gave Pittsburgh a 5th, we gave them a 6th, pick #178 to be exact which they used to draft Logan Lee.  I don't need mental gymnastics, picks don't cancel each other out, they become real people.  Michael Jackson is a real person on this roster.

    What we gave is: Donte Jackson, 2024 #178 (became Logan Lee), Diontae Johnson, 2025 6th and 9.3 million dollars.

    What we received is: 2024 #240 -> Michael Barrett -> Michael Jackson, 2025 5th, and 7 games played by Diontae Johnson as a Panther.

    So we essentially traded, Donte Jackson, Diontae Johnson and next years 6th for Baltimores 2025 5th.

    So updating this to include the pick swaps with the Jackson trade and $.

    We traded Donte Jackson, Diontae Johnson, 2024 6th and a 2025 6th in EXCHANGE for a 2024 7th and 2025 6th and are paying all but $625k of Diontae's remaining salary, which means we gave the dude 9.3mil to play 7 games for us.

    Sidenote: (The 7th from Pitt was used to draft Michael Barrett, who we traded to Seattle for Michael Jackson, so I guess that's a win)
