1 pick ... I know you want to act like we didn't get those picks back.. But reality is all we end up giving up is 1 2nd round pick for Sam... 

And I don't blame the effort nor do I think it was a crazy plan... It has worked before when a highly drafted QB goes to a different team and has a better career..

Favre, Young, Brees, and others...

Farve hot garbage in Atlanta,  Young and Doug Williams hot Garbage in Tampa..

We didn’t get those picks back in exchange for nothing. It dropped our draft positions and made us miss out on more talented players. If we did not acquire Sam and still made those moves we would have even more picks. The cost of Sam was still 3 picks. Not crazy high picks, but 3. 
Put it this way, if I buy a house for 500,000 and sell some other possessions for 200,000 the cost of the house doesn’t magically drop to 300,000. It’s still a 500,000 expense.

So are we going to argue ifs and buts and draft position now as a major risk  now.. Then team should make no moves because the fantasy what they could have done is the reason to never do anything and stay stagnant...okay

Nope, the argument is the team should not make dumb moves and preferably not consecutively.

By your reasoning any move not giving great results is a dumb move.... There is no reason to ever make a move with any risk in it.. You must be perfect and run the most boring business in history..

No I’m just saying just because we acquired more picks at a later time doesn’t mean Darnold cost less to acquire. It’s more of finance/economic thinking. I loved Fitts jumping around and being active in the draft.

Trading for Sam for what we gave was dumb.

There’s years of tape showing who he is. 

I don’t mind making moves just not these dumb moves.

Your opinion...

3 weeks ago you weren't posting how dumb a move it was... 

I love how ppl come in halfway thru (still not even done with the process) and call a move dumb after the fact...

Facts are 

Young  top 5 talented player by most Scouts opinion was a available for low compensation... 

Qb going to a different team and having success isn't a weird or outbound theory and has worked in the past for lesser talented players...

The team tried other options it didn't worked out.. They took a swing for bigger rewards with low risk.. In the position they were put in it wasn't a bad 4th option by most analysts opinion..

10 games left we are still in the experimental phase.. Its still to early.. 7 games into a 17 games season is to early to make a final judgment...

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By strato · Posted

      Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By 45catfan · Posted

      I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
