he's done much worse trades. only lost one of our two 3rd rounders.

the guy is a legit OT as well. needs some coaching, but he's got the tools. 

not hating it at all. kind of (not really) surprised at the freaking out about the pick. pretty entertaining.

How many players did we get that had same issue with coaching and had tools. They still didn't play well and didn't work out though.

the thing is, this was basically a first round pick for us. this was a guy that we probably would have taken if burns wasn't there. this wasn't one of those whim/panic picks that hurney was so bad about making back in the day. this was one of those guys that he had slated for the first round and did his homework on. 

I don't trust a lot about hurney, but I trust the homework he does in the first round guys.

It is good he wasn't that Hurney from back then or we would be royally screwed.

There has been a run on offensive lineman so maybe Hurney anticipated that. But I would've preferred taking one of the top safeties if Little was gone and taking the best tackle or guard left at 77.

That being said, if Little turns into an above average starter on the line, it'll turn into a solid move. But Hurney has a pretty terrible track record with jumping up for 2nd round picks that he has valued as first rounders. And we have enough holes I'm not a fan of losing such a valuable pick. We'll be able to grade this better in a year. I'm just not optimistic it'll be a win. But I really hope I'm wrong.

the old hurney would have traded away next year's first. this one only cost us one of our two 3rds. i'm not hating this.  we needed serious help on the OL we've got it.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
