I'm dizzy

I posted this in the other thread but it is worth repeating:


“There was word this summer about the Saints showing interest in a deal for Henderson, but nothing came of those discussions. Things went further with the Panthers and Henderson is now set to move to the NFC South for the rest of his second NFL season.“

We got Horn when the Saints were trying to trade up for him, and got CJ who they were attempting to trade for this offseason as well. Word was that the Jags wouldn’t take less than a 2nd round pick at the time. We got him for a third rounder and received at 5th round pick in return……simply amazing 😁

If Tremble becomes legit quickly and we basically got the 2020 9th overall pick, top CB, to pair with the 2021 8th overall, top defensive draft pick, for basically a mid round pick swap, then just slap me with a pancake sally.

We could be looking at Horn-Henderson-Bouye with Chinn for the playoffs.

Holy mother of god.

Damn son.  I love me some Fitt.  This dude is a fuging maniac and the traumatized Panther fan in me just wants to give that big old bear a hug for fixing all of the poo the previous two GMs left behind in less than a year.  I just want to cry tears of joy in his arms between the moments where he isn't using them to wheel and deal and pillage other teams of their talent.

Fitt.  You are the one.

Let's see how it all plays out here before we signal this as a genius move.

We all thought the Arnold pick up was a great deal back before the season started. And someone thought Henderson was worth a first round pick last year for Jacksonville. Was it a bad pick to begin with, or is the coaching/chemistry just that bad?

Still, I like that we're willing to trade away an underperforming asset to get someone that we need.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
