As they may very well do, but again as a Panthers fan I would hope our GM would try to negotiate keeping Burns, who by the way has been talked about very little nationally in these conversations. Most talk has revolved around CMC and (3) 1st 

Like If I offered YGM and they countered with Burns, maybe I add Donte to YGM in hopes they bite. 

Again, nobody knows what they will ask or demand, but my post was only what I would prefer or hope to happen 

Understand. And I'd love for our GM to be able to trade lesser value for greater value as well. We all would.

I'm just not so sure it's realistic.

Welp....we know what happens when Tepper makes it known he wants something. 

He is aggressive, not many thought we really had a chance to land Rhule when most reports pointed to the Giants. Not many thought we really had a chance at Joe Brady either. Obviously it is a little different because another team is involved here. Guess we will see what happens.

Tepper doesn't have the ability to evaluate QBs, but neither does or current staff. So it's like the blind leading the blind. Our only hope is that our new GM can find an elite QB given our awful situation. The Panthers leadership put us here, and now they have to panic to dig us out. Throwing three 1st round picks at any team for a QB is pure panic mode, and it didn't have to be this way.

This.

When it came to the QB position, the best thing the Panthers could have done for 2020 was nothing at all.

Unfortunately, doing nothing is sometimes the hardest thing to do, especially if you're GM and your job is on the line.

I seriously doubt the Texans are going to trade Watson. If they did it would be to a team that outsmarted us in the trade deal, but don't worry they won't trade him at all. It would make no sense.

What do you mean it would make no sense? Watson has publicly stated he wants out, and wants nothing more to do with the Texans situation. That’s all the sense you need right there. That place is a dumpster fire, and I don’t think anybody blames him for wanting out.

I agree about Tepper.

The staff, not so much, especially given that we just got a new GM who's way more qualified than our last one was.

What I really hope to see is Tepper trusting his staff and not being another Jerry Jones.

LOL stop with the hyperbole and silliness. You don’t think we have the ability on our staff to successfully scout QBs? They took a swing and a miss at Teddy. poo happens. He looked perfectly suitable in his last stint with NO. And it’s not like there was a plethora of great QBs just itching to come to Charlotte last off season. They shot their shot on Teddy, and unfortunately they missed. It’s easy to play armchair GM after the fact. 

This isn't after the fact. This isn't poop happens. I said at the time what we needed to do, not after the fact. The decision was idiotic at the time. Live on this forum. In the moment it was stupid.

Thats the thing, none of us really know at this point. Most talking heads think that (3) 1st and CMC is a serious offer the Texans could consider.

We've heard from our resident insider that a big part of that push came from Marty Hurney though.

With Marty gone and Fitterer on board, I'm not sure we can still say that.

Correct,  this is a little different because he can't just open up his checkbook and close the deal so im not ignoring that. But he is aggressive and will apply pressure.

  It was fairly easy to see what would happen before the fact as well. Many people did exactly that

My hope lies in out new GM. I am just hoping that he knows how to land an amazing QB. It's our only hope.

Not John McClain though.

The template he laid out said otherwise, and McClain is one of the best Texan sources you can find.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
