Some of that Kalil $ could have gone toward keeping Norwell

I just never will get why Matt Kalil was given such a lucrative deal befitting of a top 11 LT.  To me it just showed a lack of foresight.  That bit of money could have been the very thing to help to keep Norwell a Panther for the long term. It most certainly could have been used for the short term as a bridge to the long term.  How you like them apples...?

Did I just create an elephant in the room?

Really, this is a b****!

It's for a good cause, Jerry's kids and poo.

The Sunk Cost Fallacy

The Misconception: You make rational decisions based on the future value of objects, investments and experiences.

The Truth: Your decisions are tainted by the emotional investments you accumulate, and the more you invest in something the harder it becomes to abandon it.

The money on Kalil is spent and those decision makers are no longer in the building. Norwell will soon no longer be in the building, but that decision was made the moment Trai Turner signed on the dotted line.

So let's summarize.

50+ million to one of the worst left tackles in the NFL. Let Ginn walk to our biggest rival for peanuts to the detriment of our WR core. Drafted an RB 8th overall that couldn't even crack 500 rushing yards while our QB led the team in rushing and ended up nearly destroying his knee.

Executive of the year!

    • You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.
    • Yeah, this is all projections of how it will turn out. Inevitability this list will look ridiculous in a full 2025 sesson hindsight, most likely. Still, I am pretty surprised that so many bristled at being thought of as having very, very lowly ranked WR and TE units. We literally have been for years. All you have to do is just have things stay the same and those are immediately bottom 5 units. It is easy to see why one would be reticent to have lofty expectations in the preseason. Gotta show it first when you are a perennial cellar dweller. That's just life at the bottom.
    • That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.
