lol, that's like saying "Seeing Bitcoin at $50k now makes me wonder more if I should have bought it at $20 ten years ago instead of that McDonald"...

How was Fitt supposed to know that he going to get these guys for at this price?

This.

When deals as good as this one and the Henderson one unexpectedly present themselves… you do it.

Explain to me how this is "win now" mode when the O-line is literally the worst part of this team and the major fact of the woe's this offense has had AND the major reason we lost to Dallas? This line isn't going to hold up the whole season. 

Tell me how getting a 31 year old CB is Win now mode? Like, what am I missing here. 

Point 1 I agree with you on. Point 2 doesn't make any sense. That's the whole purpose of win now mode, getting older vets who can come in and... win now?

DJax will have to move to FS. It would be perfect for him I think.

I'd probably rather move Gilmore there and hope it can extend his career of playing at a high level, similar to Charles Woodson when he went to the Packers and moved to Safety

Or we created a scenario that will likely net us a 3rd or 4th rd comp pick for a 6th

bingo. the pick given is a 2023 pick, which just happens to be the same year the Panthers would get a comp pick for Gilmore if he doesn't re-sign this offseason. and yeah, I'd probably put money on that comp pick being higher than a 6th. of course this is dependent on other FA moves the team might make after this year.

 

I saw this on the Pats board:

Quote

A quick point to note: if they had kept him for the rest of the season and let him walk in FA, the best comp pick they could've gotten would've been a 2023 5. [Non-QBs with 10+ seasons aren't eligible for 3s or 4s.]

I don't know if this is true but if so then best we could do is get a 5th, but that's obviously still better than the 6th we gave up and I can't imagine him walking in FA and not netting a 5th or 6th round comp pick. So even if it is a 1 year rental we're getting him for free, really.

Uh oh. So don't take this too seriously as this is a rumor. This may be fake insider information, but this rumor mill is saying we are looking to trade for offensive linemen and Gilmore might be involved.

Go on....

Only one worth trying it with is Bouye. Could be good for both sides. Kareem Jackson extended his career by making that move around age 30. Bouye has the size for it. 

Or Melvin. I forgot about him. I think he is actually the tallest of that group and also the worst at actually playing corner.

And besides, Jaycee Horn is an All-Pro CB in the making.

It's way too early to be making this kind of statement. Horn played three games where he faced two rookies making their first starts and a guy people consider a reclamation project at best. Yeah, Horn is a promising rookie, but that is all he is at this time.

I love the trade... I see what the front office is doing. they said this entire time thye were trying to acquire CJ even with Horn. I believe they are bringing in Gilmore to see what the defense looks like with a Shutdown Corner (Gilmore... but Horn before injury) with A shadow corner: CJ and a speed corner DJ.

The end of the year, DJ is going to be the priority for re-sign unless Gilmore is just absoutely ridiculous for us. The FO wants to see what a strong secondary does for this team so they can understand their upcoming offseason investments.

      Ranked Panthers as the Best this year!!

      By frankw · Posted

      If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
