Trading that 2nd for Darnold is looking real bad. That basically assured we had to pick up his 5th year to justify the trade. And then he shows us he was the real Darnold and can’t be saved. So the Jets stole a pick from us. I agree with the sentiment that it’s trade down or bust for us to recoup some of that compensation. We need a 2 at the very least. 
 

in hindsight, I wish we took that Chicago trade in the past draft. Trading down that far would have hurt, but we still could have gotten an OL at that spot and had 2 1’s to play around with this year. 

I do think the Darnold trade looks bad right now.  Still, I have to keep reminding myself that we're now on our third QB in Joe Brady's system and NONE of them have looked consistently good.  In fact, they all have the EXACT SAME PROFILE.

Look good for a week or four, then look like crap thereafter.  Teddy looked good . . . then bad.  Sam looked good . . . then bad.  Cam looked great . . . then bad.  Maybe we need to fix the system.

Nothing against the author or the article contents, but everything he wrote and got paid for writing has been addressed ad nauseam on this very board by the Panther faithful for a couple months now.

So, the article is really just a greatest hits compilation of literally thousands of posts here. Who is the article reaching out to?

I someone hoping the owner sees this and reacts one way or another?

getting screwed on draft picks is going to be hard to overcome.

I think Fit can really work around that with trades. The biggest loss will be a second rounder and that's it. I personally didn't like the win now approach this year but we lost very little in those trades.

It's been known for years that the observer visits this site just to rehash what we say. We are free content.

There are no guarantees with that though. So far the trades have hurt more than they have helped by far. We fooled ourselves into believing a more active gm is a better gm bc of Hurney but we are finding out the hard way ineptitude comes in many forms.

I hope you're right. Pick trading still makes me nervous because of Hurney. I don't want to create a deficit in '23 because we screwed '22 up.

Frankly, it’s not a bad thing that the Charlotte paper shouts ‘the Emperor has no clothes’  as you know, the Observer typically doesn’t    It reaches the community at large, people who neither now or care about this board   

i do think, however, the only thing that is going to extricate Rhule from his contract is if Oklahoma comes a callin. 

the rumor came up again today on the Sirius xm nfl radio.

Well that's kinda what I was pointing out. While they were playing to win now they really didn't spend much in the process. Hurney on the other hand had no problem trading a kings ransom for someone he liked. All this still doesn't matter if the coaching stays at this same level.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
