Don't you know? How easy it is to pull guys from other teams. Especially if you don't even know if you are going to actually trade your own asset and what you will get for it. 

I mean the difficult thing is to sound like you know everything on a message board using hindsight, we have so many smart people here I cant believe they dont have impactful jobs to do. To come up with names suggesting getting them is a no-brainer, that is hard stuff right there buddy.

1. Seems like it’s pretty easy considering Beane snagged Benji for a measly 3rd and 7th.

Seattle grabbed Duane Brown (a legit LT) for a 2nd and 3rd. Which considering how important that position is, isn’t much of a price to solidify that spot.

2. There were several names that were being dangled at the deadline that would’ve come in and replaced KB nicely.

Donte Moncrief is a free agent after this season and with the Colts going nowhere they were listening on him. 

TY Hilton, Martavis Bryant both are proven deep speed guys that were on the market as well.

There are some real temper-tantrum capable babies on this board, could only imagine how they spend their days when not saying anything in front of a computer.

I spend mine making a lot of money at my “impactful job”. How about you?

Who exactly? The only Wr truly on the market was TY Hilton, and they wanted waaay too much for him.

Kelvin wasn’t truly on the market.   There are 31 teams that all have guys that could be on the market. 

Hilton and Landry both were on the market though.

You spend a lot of time bitching and crying like a bitch on a message board. Sure that is working out great for you. When I see FreeFua I think of a bib, and pacifier and a dirty diaper. And your posts coincide with that.

Thanks for coming around and being the voice of reason here, Jeremy. And, you are correct - it is a hard pill to swallow that we have to give up on a player that had great promise. The fact of the matter is, the Panthers knew of KB's issues when they drafted him. That is why he fell so late in the 1st. But, they thought he would develop and grow out of those issues, but KB only regressed the longer he was here. I will say that the lack of burst and separation is not all his fault. He is not that type of receiver. Having said that, I hope he does well in Buffaloe, but I don't think he is the player they think they are getting.

Will it work for us this year? Maybe, maybe not...but it was still the right move. At 8.5 mil, KB had to be a starter here, but we needed him NOT to be on the field as much. You can't pay a part-time player that much to sit on the bench. As hard as it is to accept, it was time to move on. In the next 8 weeks we can find out if we can roll with the WRs we have or if we need to bring someone else in.

So now Hurney had 24 hours to try and replace Benji with one of the other guys on the market and not 5 minutes.

Hurney is even dumber than I had initially thought.

There's a key flaw to this line of thinking though:

Hurney wasn't looking to replace Benjamin, only to dump him. 

Per Hurney's own statements, he believes getting rid of Benjamin is, by itself, a move to make our receiving corps faster and more effective.

Basically, he believes that trading Benjamin is addition by subtraction. He didn't look for a replacement because he didn't think one was necessary. 

And what does that boil down to? 

That the answer is on the roster.

Martavus Bryant was not on the market. He wants out, but the Steelers specifically said he was not going anywhere. 

Landry is just another possession receiver and we have a bunch of them already.

The only WR worth a crap who was really available is Hilton, and they wanted a first for him.

And Donte Moncrief? Really? Did you just google receivers on the trade block to come up with that one?

 

You are really reaching to find reasons to hate on the coaching staff, the GM and the owners. It is really tiresome, but have at it.

internet mental midget on the lookout!

Ah yes the guy who comes into a thread to whine about what the majority of a internet message board has been doing over the last 48 hours calling someone else a mental midget...

Makes sense

      Surprise! Kon looks really bad!

      Same, bro.  Yeah, it just feels it has run its course and I don’t know that we’ll ever get more value.  Plus, with the new ownership, this draft has been super encouraging, so dare I believe maybe this FO can get something to really put us over the top in return for Melo.  I’ll still be a fan of his game and try to keep up with him if we move on, but yeah, I feel it’s time to turn the page. (and side note: I felt so happy after their rookie years because I told everybody I wanted Melo and didn’t trust Ant.  And Melo clearly looked like the better player early…  I thought Ant would bust because all that stuff he said about not loving the game and just his resume to that point…  but damn, if we could go back in time.🤣🤣🤣. I love Ant’s game and at times, when he gets in the zone, he is THE BEST player in the league in my opinion.)

      Appreciate that, bro!  And I could definitely see that with Cam.  Even though he’s a little younger than me, he is also someone I admire and feel a kinship with for a lot of various reasons. Funny enough, a few years after that encounter with Steve, I went to Charlotte with one of my friends whose brothers owned a moving company at the time.  He dropped me off uptown and went to work the day with them where I would wait until he got done and then we were gonna go to the Bobcats game that night.  So I walk all through that area for hours.  After awhile, I walk back towards the arena and sit in a bench on the backside of the arena, where the practice court and player’s entrance was.  As I’m sitting there, I look up and almost think I’m seeing things - I squint and blink my eyes a couple times just to be sure, and yes…  it’s one of my childhood heroes, Muggsy Bogues walking across the crosswalk and into the arena.  I think he was coaching the Sting then, iirc.  Part of me wanted to just say, “Hey!  Muggsy!  Thank you for the inspiration and memories!  You were one of my favorite players as a kid!”  But, I just watched him walk by and into the arena and thought, “that was cool!”  I also so Miguel Cotto a couple years back while in Orlando and told my kids who it was but didn’t say anything to him.  I think somewhere in my subconscious, that encounter with Steve really made me feel like the gamble on finding out if they’re receptive to interaction just isn’t worth finding out.  At the end of the day, no matter if they’re receptive inspired us or were a hero, unless they initiate it, I likely never will…  because again, they’re humans just like us.  Not anymore unique or special, they just have a highly visible and very public job that we get to watch and in some ways participate.  So, I just appreciate it for what it is.

      Young up for Player of the Week

      By frankw · Posted

      I'm pleasantly surprised they gave it to Bryce Young over Josh Allen. Finally we're getting some respect. Now I'm just hoping the team follows this up accordingly and doesn't lay another egg.
