Its been a rough five years as panthers fans, we all are in some level of fan frustration. That maybe a way hes trying to help you lower you levels. I know a year of complaining has done little good for the huddle. I rarely complain, but join a few of crybabing sessions, it was good to get some of that out. But daily, monthly, and now yearly?? Thats like hearing someone complaining about a restaurant that they always go to.... "I hate this place", pulls into parking spot.... 

Welcome to the internet social media and America in general. People live to complain. The human species is a mess. We can go on for hours about this but we all share blame. In the meantime I'll get back to hoping my football team doesn't get too embarrassed today.

You have the choice to evolve pass complaining. Each morning when you put your feet down, just ask yourself "Am I going to do like others and constantly complain or not". You still have that freedom, godspeed bro!!

Yeah man I'm sure out of the other 31 teams in the NFL hardly anyone else is complaining about anything.

It seems clear our staff isn't trading him unless they receive multiple top picks or significant young players in the deal. Our staff is smarter than Huddle posters about it. So those of you saying we should take only a 3rd or 4th rd pick are just showing your lack of knowledge on the topic.

 

Since the Broncos were mentioned, I wouldn't mind seeing if they would send Javonte Williams (2nd rd - significantly injured), Quinn Meinerz (3rd rd), and their 2024 1st/2nd round pick for CMC. They know with Wilson's contract and some of their other signings, they need to go for it now and Javonte's injury may have them willing to make this move. We end up with a top pick, a promising young RB that won't prevent our tank this year, and a solid interior linemen that can help bolster our OL.

I’m firmly in the camp of not trading McCaffrey. Obviously the game plan yesterday was too heavily skewed toward passing him the ball on screens because our QB situation prevented us from running a normal passing attack. But you saw what McCaffrey was able to do with all those touches. This type of use (obviously as a lower percentage of offensive plays, with an offense that also throws intermediate and deep to keep the defense honest and guessing) is how McCaffrey should have been used all along. When you look at that sort of offensive role, where McCaffrey is more of a WR that can also line up in the backfield, the contract doesn’t look so bad. And having him as an incredible weapon, perhaps along with a decent, at least functional offensive line, is really the only attractive qualities our offense has for a potential new head coach. I don’t think an extra first or a couple 2nds is going to provide more value for us to having him on the roster. Even if I had more confidence that the front office could select players in the draft that will be studs or major contributors with the picks we’d garner for McCaffrey in a trade, the trade would still really hamper our ability to construct a talented roster because all of the dead money. So when you combine those two factors, I say we hold onto him and try to restock the cupboard by trying to trade other pieces, even if the return won’t be as good.

Like I said, if we can get a first you couldnt say yes fast enough.

 

Jonathon Jones is reported that is the asking price.  A first or multiple picks

 

 

Unless it's expected to be a really high pick, i'd still consider it dumb to settle for just that.

There's way bigger News In that clip though.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
