Do you think the Cam situation will end up being similar to the Kelvin Benjamin situation?

I know it’s two totally different players and situations, but I remember a lot of people being mad when we traded KB, ironically he was coming off a great 1000 plus yard season, a lot of us wanted him back, but we traded him and now look what happened. Where is KB now? Do you honestly and truly think if Tepper, the staff and Hurney thought cam could at least be half of his 2015 self, that they would have let him walk? Come on now lol.

We let Kelvin go because everyone on the inside knew way more than we did, they knew he was done and had to let him go. If I remember, everyone on here was saying KB would go on to be a stud with another team with a better QB.

Your memory is horrible. Not that many were mad he was traded, and then the complaint was that it left us with no WRs, not so much that we were losing a good one. And literally no one but KB himself said anything about him doing better with a Buffalo QB than Cam.

People who somehow thinking Cam Newton has anything left in the tank is the sad part. People like me for years begged for Cam to get protection, not take the hits, and not be the battering Ram at the goal line. We all knew that type of punishment wasn't sustainable and we only had a few years till things got bad. Well let's just say both JR and Rivera really didn't care.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
