Burns is probably going to be traded right?

Shaq and Burns can go.  Brown, Horn, Luvu and Chinn are the building blocks on defense.  
 

We also have the second most important offensive position covered with Icky IMO.  Everyone else on the offensive side could go for the right price.

We need to accept that this year and next year is about acquiring young talent and the right coaching staff.  The rebuild is on and if we half cook it then it’s gonna be another decade before we have a chance to contend.

No, could see Shaq and that's about it. Makes sense to try to get something for a RB that could have production replaced in any round. Burns has issues but getting to the Passer is always a premium and ideally Burns would even be a 3rd guy but you still keep him.

We need more pass rushers not less. 

The DJax contract is/was just so fkn dumb lol. We don't sign actual good corners like James Bradberry who is cutting it up on the 6-0 Eagles....I remember when ppl were talking like that man wasn't a legit CB1....just lol.

They're not going to trade Burns or Moore unless the unthinkable happens and the team finishes outside the top five picks or so. If that's the case and they think they can leapfrog a team for a quarterback they covet, then you I could see them moving either player.

Unlikely scenario, but it's one way it could happen.

Fair point. But like I said what is the end game here. We are 2 years(if we are lucky) to 5 years of being a competitive team. What is the end game?

Dude...nobody can answer this. Yes rebuild is comin, but if you keep your core and add an elite qb prospect with the right coaching hire maybe you lower that timeframe far as competing but its not something that can be determined right now. Burns has another year, you see how things work with new staff then make a determination.

A young premium position player that is one if the top in the league? Nah I think we extend or tag him because he can be a great foundation for our defense. Burns, Brown, Horn, and Chinn are our pieces for next year’s defense. Icky, Moton, Corbett, possibly BC, and Moore are our pieces for offense.

You keep burns unless you get two firsts.  Feel like this chat doesn’t understand the difference between trading aging vets on bad deals and the value of ascending talents.  Shaq, CMC, Robby, etc yeah you can move them because their contracts are garbage next year and the years after, you are rebuilding take the dead money hit and cap savings and get value out of them.  Burns, Horn, Brown, etc that’s exactly the players you want to build around after this money clears you can extend them and fit them in the cap puzzle/strategy going forward.  Everyone should be able to be traded for but you don’t trade young guys just to trade them.

A coach who matches the owner and the GM: trash. 

That’s silly, we have plenty to offer a coach coming in.  A Good Oline, some nice defensive building blocks at the most important positions, probably the first pick to get whatever his QB is, and now we’ve stocked the pantry full of draft picks so he can build the team his way.

I’m sure he’ll enjoy 0-17 quite well. No offensive skill position players once they inevitably trade Moore, no defensive backfield and no linebackers. Might score 30 points next season.

    • What's up gents, the OGs remember me, the guy who single-handedly gave the Panthers the greatest uniform in history moniker. Not too long after that I got involved with Pro Football Focus (pre-Collinsworth acquisition) and ended up taking backseat here to preserve some objectivity. But from a distance I noticed a lot. After the end of the Cam era this place devolved into the most un-fun, petty, negative cesspool of whining and bitching that has ever graced the internet. The worst part of it all is that the level of discussion turned into the most ill-informed, hot-take, unnuanced crap, rife with people talking out of their posteriors as if they have any clue about what they are watching. Once you get into the professional side of the sport and actual film rooms, you start to understand there's an absurd number of moving parts to pretty much every snap and the details you are privy to are truly only half the picture. The absolute most important thing I learned from being part of professional level football analysis is that quarterbacking is literally the most intricate and difficult position in all of professional sports, and that the NFL itself is struggling to develop any workable model that allows them to understand what makes one succeed vs what makes one fail. Because of this paradox it has also made the quarterback position itself grossly overvalued from a fan and media standpoint, creating an absurd fixation on the results delivered by a single player who has to rely on the contributions of everyone around them. This also drives the dreaded inflation of QB salaries that inevitably cause even elite teams to lose key talent all to pour cash into the one player supposed to be able to single-handedly elevate the entire team (and defense and special teams and coaching and ownership by some mysterious proxy), yet without those same players even talented teams can wander the wilderness searching for the right guy to take advantage of their talent window. The discussions the last few years around Bryce has personified this insanity, as this board has devolved into some sort of electronic civil war between the hyperbolic Young supporters and the vitriolic Bryce haters. The reality, like practically everything in this world, is somewhere in the middle. He has traits that can absolutely elevate a team with creativity, play recognition, off-arm angle throws, mental toughness, etc. He's also physically limited, with mostly "good-enough" qualities for most situations that a professional quarterback is asked to do, and will never be an overpowering physical force like pre-injury Cam. But "good-enough" physicality represents a large majority of championship-winning quarterbacks, even in the modern era. There's a reason the corpse of Peyton Manning took the chip from elite physical specimen Cam, because the team surrounding him was talented enough to get him there, while we all know Cam was the driving force of that 2015 team. That's no knock on him, that's just how the game of football tends to work: the more complete team usually wins. The summary is this: if this team lives or dies solely on the performance of its quarterback, then it is absolutely a paper tiger even if he plays brilliantly week in and out. There are no superheroes in this sport, there are only conduits that proxy the collective efforts of much of the team around them. And no one alive can tell you how the position is played perfectly, it's all a confluence of circumstance and what unique collection of traits each player brings to the position, which can never be truly recreated season after season, even for the same player on the same team. If this place remains a raging hellscape of idiotic hot takes I will happily remove myself again and do something more productive for yet another decade, but maybe's there hope that we can all get back to the old adage, and keep pounding.
