So we traded...

I keep saying that this fact is one of the most discouraging thing about this season. Even if we blow this year we don't even have a 1st round pick to improve the team with. Unbelievable.

I guess this year we will trade next years 1st rounder for a 3rd round selection

There's a *chance* that trading up for Brown will be seen as one of the dumbest moves in an NFL team's history if we do end up with the worst record in the league and had a chance to draft Bradford to replace Jake and if Brown doesn't pan out. And if Bradford turns out to be absolutely deserving of a #1 pick. Sadly, all of those ifs are definite possibilities.

Or, Bradford may be taken high and be a complete bust. Brown could turn out to be the next Dwight Freeney. All are possibilities.

Hindsight is always 20/20.

Hindsight? Bullshit I was ripped on this and other panthers message boards the day of the draft and again here after training camp started because I've stated multiple times that I thought the trade to get Brown was a big mistake.

Now I haven't been going "see here I'm right and your all wrong" because personally I would have so much rather been wrong on the whole thing but I'll be damned if I'm going to sit quietly and have someone tell me hindsight is 20/20 when I predicted this bs.

    • Bryce has improved each season, fwiw, statistically.  His slope is rising.  (Not to say I am high on him--I am not, but I have not given up on him--nor have I given up on XL, but damn he pisses me off)  CJ's slope is descending.   I was never a Penix fan.  Never, I say!    
    • That is definitely the down side of all this--on paper, I would offer up a second rounder for him if he passed my interviews.  He has already gone through (seriously?) a treatment program for gambling addiction.  I just see him as a first round talent that we could get with a second rounder.  If I liked Bryce and felt good about paying him $50m per, I would not touch Sorsby.  If Bryce regresses or stays the same--he is going to expect to be paid.  Sorsby, in my view, has a better long-term future as an NFL QB.  He is big, mobile, has good arm strength, and makes wise decisions (on the field) with the football.  He is a great dual threat, RPO QB.   I think he is a perfect solution for the backup qb position and insurance for Bryce should he get injured or suck.  Pickett?  King?  yikes. 
    • Hard to say--they are very unpredictable--this article came out last night---after our comments:  (ESPN)   How has the NFL approached NCAA players with gambling violations in the past? David Purdum, sports betting reporter: Quarterback Hunter Dekkers and wide receiver Kayshon Boutte were found to have committed gambling violations while playing college football, and both were allowed to pursue NFL careers. Dekkers was the projected starting quarterback at Iowa State but was ruled ineligible ahead of the 2023 season after an investigation found he had bet on at least one game involving the Cyclones (among other wagers that violated NCAA bylaws). The bet was just $15 on Iowa State to beat Oklahoma State in a 2021 game in which he did not play, but it led to the end of his Division I career. He played one season at Iowa Western Community College in 2024 before signing with the Saints as an undrafted free agent, and he spent last season on the practice squad. Boutte was arrested in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in January 2024 on charges of underage betting while at LSU. The arrest came roughly eight months after he had been drafted in Round 6 by the Patriots, and the charges were ultimately dropped. According to police, Boutte placed more than 8,900 wagers from April 2022 to May 2023, including betting on at least 17 college football games -- at least six of which involved LSU during that span. The NFL did not discipline Boutte.
