If Fitt didn't want the awful QBs we brought here (and Rhule is to blame) then Tepper should have NEVER allowed a structure where the GM is under the HC for personnel moves. What's worse is if Fitt had to basically lie to the public about wanting the crap QBs Rhule forced him to bring here. I don't know if that is some sort of conspiracy theory or what, but the whole structure is rotten if true, 

I'm convinced Tepper is the de facto GM.

In a 15-year span…

All of those players were around for the Super Bowl(s), or post even. They were all a part of the best seasons the Panthers have had. All but one was high character players that gave us an identity, and a chance to win any given Sunday. I didn't even mention Williams, Stewart, Beason, Kalil.

We had an embarrassment of talent once upon a time.

I'm not a huge fan of the trade, but the facts are that CMC hasn't contributed much over the past few years, due to various injuries and now we have a 2nd, a 3rd and 4th round picks in 2023 for him and a 5th in 2024. 

These picks may mean more to a new HC than an electric off injured RB. But we need to draft an electric RB in the 2nd - 3rd round in 2023, providing we have an OC that can run an NFL offense.

Just remember, running backs are largely replaceable. The year we drafted him is a stellar example.

41st - Dalvin Cook (Minnesota)

48th - Joe Mixon (Cincinatti)

67th - Alvin Kamara (New Orleans)

86th - Kareen Hunt (Kansas City)

105th - James Conner (Pittsburgh)

119th - Tarik Cohen (Chicago)

182nd - Aaron Jones (Green Bay)

And Austin Ekeler (Chargers) went undrafted.

Also, I would like to add, that this next year is projected to be one of the deepest running back classes since 2017. As long as the Panthers can still scout, we're going to be fine.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
