great read, dont let the illiterate folks here deter you from making more quality threads like this. there was one thing which i disagreed with though

"Sure. Cam is a valuable player. He could fetch a slew of draft picks. That $19 million would certainly help a rebuilding team pay free agents. But I want to point something out by asking a question. What is the single hardest piece of an NFL team to find?"

i really don't think we could get a slew of picks unless you were referring to a slew of late round picks, the best we could probably do with cam is a 3rd if that. he's coming off a bunch of surgeries and, even though we all know this isn't really fair to cam and ignores context the bottom line is that he has major questions about his health, is the most hit player in the league period, and has not won a game since the 2018 game against tampa. no NFL gm will give a high (1st-2nd) draft pick for that regardless of context. giving a 2nd or 1st round pick for that would be a HUGE risk for anyone. i think cam fits with what we have here fine, and we all know how well hurney does in the 3rd round.

That was partially my point. Cam's real value may only be a bunch of late round picks. I think the Panthers get that. I think the Panthers should and will set the bar stupidly high and if some team is dumb enough to reach that far, the Panthers should take the deal and run away with the picks.

      While I agree with you in spirit my gut and my heart says I'm not falling for this again until I see consistent results across the entire upcoming season. Then I'll breathe a sigh of relief and truly feel better about the future.

      After some time to process and also in light of other small markets being successful and not requiring top overall picks to compete. This years finals looming large. While I readily acknowledge the league office clearly despises our franchise and has absolutely no qualms about us getting the short end of any stick in the draft lottery. The Hornets may just be doomed regardless due to their own mismanagement and inability to draft and develop legitimate playoff worthy talent. And we seemingly always pick the wrong player in the draft. I mean at this point we can even take a hard look at the 2020 draft and someone like Haliburton going pick 12 while Ball went 3rd. Did we draft the wrong guy or are we just that inept at any level of talent development or is it a mixture of both? Looks the latter right now.

      I feel we are already moving in a better direction before we even take a snap this season.  We have hope now.  People are talking about us brewing something special. Remember how dismal things were when Rhule was here?
