Little traded to Dolphins for 7th rounder

No team can compete in today's game with garbage at the LT position. I admit that I was giddy to see that he wouldn't be taking up a roster spot during the 2021 season. But, after I saw that he was traded for a 7th round pick a couple of thoughts popped into my mind

1) The Panthers must really thought extremely LITTLE (no pun intended) of his chances of becoming even a service backup in the NFL to cut bait with a 2nd round pick in exchange for a 7th round pick.

2) How will Greg Little process this transaction? What does it do to his confidence to know that he's a LT that "almost" went in the 1st round; that was traded away to a team for a 7th round draft choice (the round with the least chance of making a NFL roster) halfway through his rookie deal?  

If he's mentally tough this could light a fire under him and actually make him play better. If so, good for him. I'm inclined to believe he won't even make the Dolphin's final roster, and if he does I doubt it'll be as a LT. He'd probably have to moved inside to the guard position.

Everyone just be so grateful that Burns was there in the first. Not just because Brian Burns might end up being the third best defensive player in panthers history but also because Hurney was going to take Little in the first had Burns not been there. 

 

LMAO god I'm so glad Hurney is gone

Quite possibly the most disappointing bust ever, when factoring in the need at position. We needed a LT for around eight years now, at least we only had to suffer thru one year of Jimmy before we got Cam.

Guy had the pedigree(top 5 h.s prospect, all sec) height and measurables. If he would have even been average I would have been ecstatic......what a waste

Is...is this what it feels like to have a competent GM?

It might be.

I have as many positive feelings as anyone at this point, but realistically we still haven't made it out of the offseason yet.

There's a lot we don't know about Fitterer thus far. We'll really see how the team he helped put together looks when the bullets start flying.

Same with Rhule for that matter. Lots of coaches look good their rookie season but not so much afterward. He's still at least something of an unknown till we see more.

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
