I've seen this meme so many times I am frankly tired of itt. 

This year is different, Ivan...

I know...you've heard it all before, but think...Cam has another year of experience under his belt. Remember, he still had milk behind the ears when he arrived in Charlotte. Secondly, he has legitimate weapons in fitting with our conventional offense. Say what you want, but Olsen is a rock, and the presence of Benji and Funchess will absolutely command attention. And this doesn't even include potential X-factors like Cotchery, Brown and Dickson (among others).  Moreover, our defense is seasoned and loaded full of athleticism from the front to (dare i say) the back. With their emergence last year later in the year, as well as the addition of Shaq and Peanut, there is every reason to believe that we will only be better.  We will be better...on both sides of the ball.  And I didn't even mention special teams which was G-man's seeming top priority this off-season.  

Sure, there is a big question on the O-line, and perhaps on the D-line, but we did a good job of compensating last year, kind of figuring it out later in the season. Oher is better than Bell, Ealy showed late improvement, and Big Frank should be more than smoke. We can only get better. 

We really have too many good pieces to outright suck.  The motivation is there, right along with a big ol' chip.  That should mean modest improvement (two-three games) at the least.  We haven't been in this position in July for years.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      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.
