Before you make fun of the fans that get mad, remember it was Gman who made his comments.

About "stepping up in class " and not "having to shop at the dollar tree." because this year "we are better off financially." I see a lot of people make fun of the fans that get mad at Gman for not signing notable FAs. You can't get mad at the 6 year old kid when it was his own daddy that said "now son, last Christmas times were tough, but because daddy is in better financial shape this Christmas, we can now step up in class in terms of Christmas gifts." You can't blame the 6 year old when he is disappointed on Christmas morning when he gets a Xbox 360 when it was Daddy who led him to believe that this year will be the Xbox one.

Yes previous years when Gman would come out and flat out say we are cap challenged and won't be making any moves then the people that expected big moves deserved to be disappointed. This year is different, Gman is the one that gave fans hope with his own words. Just saying

Stepping up in class is different than pissing away money on high priced guys. I thought he made it clear that we're not out of the woods yet, but we are in a little better shape. It's on you if you assume that means we're going to sign high priced guys or make a big splash.

OfcoursecI didn't expect a Maclin, Cobb of Suh but a Torrey Smith I thought was reasonable

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
