So this won't happen but in the event we are below .500 at the bye..


Recommended Posts

Should Rivera just be let go at the bye? This isn't a Rivera bashing thread, this isn't a "omg fire Rivera now thread." This is me getting your thoughts. Our 1st four games consist of ALL losing teams from last year, two of those teams are so bad they have top 5 picks in the draft, so keep in mind that for us to be under .500 we would have to lode to two teams that have top 5 picks as well as another losing team from last year.

Now let me just say that barring a big injury or catastrophe I absloutley see no way in hell we aren't ATLEAST .500 at the bye and hell I'm 98% sure we will be 3-1 if not 4-0, so this is a HUGE what if that has about 1% or less chance of happening.

If you mention this halfway through a thread that is extremely active, and you are met with minimal responses, that's not usually indicative of it needing to branch out to its own thread.

This isn't the typical PU thread bashing, simply a free tip for you. Like when you go to the pro-desk at Home Depot and the guy tells you how to sweat copper pipes.

    • 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.
