A team at the end of the 1st that is just a piece or 2 from Super Bowl contention will definitely be willing to give up a first for an offensice weapon like CMC. A loaded deep playoff off team doesn't necessarily need a first round pick. I would gladly take another first even if it's a late first

CHRISTIAN MCCAFFREY is the best [PLAY MAKER] I ever seen in my life time if healthy his value is of a QB's standard" his injuries are not damaging injuries to his career dude can be 100% starting the season and easily average (3) TD's a game....

That is quite scary. And I was foolishly excited about Rhule when we landed him. But I can't imagine how I would justify defending him now. 

When he was hired all so thought was “Who?”  
I found out we hired him from my brother who went to Baylor.

Im not backing them at all, but talking poo about the team, and calling them retards everyday for the next 12 months is gonna get really boring, really fast.  At this point it is what it is. 

You're not one of the people I'm talking about.

If someone is putting out that we want a 1st, that might mean someone has offered a 2nd.

I could see a playoff type of team thinking he could help, someone like the Bills or Packers, Cardinals?  I'm sure there are others.

 

Put CMC on the Bills and they're probably the SB favorites.

Not that I'd necessarily be against it depending on what we get back, but there's a part of me that's tired of supplying missing pieces for other teams rather than building our own.

Unfortunately, we'd have to be run by smarter people to start doing the latter.

Yeah you’re right get rid of all our good players cuz we haven’t been good.  

I think it honestly comes down to this.

Do you think the Panthers could be in the playoffs in the next 3 years?

Do you think CMC will still be the superstar he is in the next 3 years?

If you answered yes to either then I think you are thinking too highly of where we are at currently. 
 

If you answered no to both then I think the obvious solution is salvaging a first while we can still get it and letting CMC have a shot somewhere.

 

CMC won’t be here by the time this team is playoff bound again and if he is he’ll be a shell of himself. It isn’t good to trade your young stars in a rebuild. But trading vets that won’t be here when we right the team makes a lot of sense.

      Travis Hunter on T-Mac

      By Seltzer · Posted

      T-Mac put up good numbers for 3 consecutive seasons on teams without a good QB situation, and in an environment where T-Mac got game planned against weekly and still performed. Teams threw all kinds of defensive coverages against T-Mac, and he still found ways week in and week out to contribute at a high level. XL was basically a 1-year wonder. Doesn't mean he cant be great (and I think him & T-Mac will compliment each other well), but i think T-Mac is the more polished of the 2 right now. This certainly isn't a perfect comparison, but I hope XL & T-Mac can approximate what we had with Smitty & Moose (Although i think T-Macs ceiling is higher than Moose and XLs ceiling is lower than Smitty). Both those guys were multiple Pro Bowlers and even All-Pro. T-Mac & XL have a long way to go to actually being comparable, but the potential is there. And regardless of how this season turns out, you can actually see a strategic plan being executed. On paper, I think this offensive roster has as much talent as any Panthers team since 2017. Defense is still a question mark, and it's unrealistic to think we will go from being historically bad to great in 1 year, but based on historical and statistical data, we stand a much better chance of turning the defense around in 1 year than the offense. I still want us to potentially add at S, CB, and ILB, but this roster is exponentially better than the roster heading into the 2023 season. Which still begs the question of how & why the team thought they were in a good position to trade all the way up. Regardless, it's in the past, and while the past 2 years have mostly sucked, we are strategically in a much better position than we have been in years. This is easily the best WR group since 2020 IMO (Moore, Anderson, Samuel). I'm super excited about what T-Mac can bring to this offense and team, and I'm really hoping we continue to build off where we ended last year offensively, and hopefully we've made enough improvements on defense to be competitive. I've also been vocal for the most part in supporting BY9. He came into an awful situation and to a team that was in no position to make such a trade.   Still, this is Year 3. And this is a team that IMHO has both the talent & depth on offense to score and score a lot. Most QBs that ever amount to anything are competing by Year 3. There are no excuses for the offense not to perform. I think BY9 knows full well what's riding on this year in terms of his long term future.  And I think T-Mac is a massive piece in helping Bryce and the team get over the hump and back into playoff contention.
