The FO is idiots for not pulling the trigger. 2 firsts is more than enough compensation for a guy we will have to pay next year. 

Not to mention that I honestly think the Rams will stink next year and the year after that. So those two firsts has a high possibility that they end up being high firsts.

Until we get final confirmation on the specifics of the offer, it's hard to fully criticize it. We've heard it was going to be two future 1sts rather than any in the upcoming draft. Then we hear Cam Akers was getting added, which is probably a net negative overall. Who know what else was included? Did the Rams ask us to give them one of our 2023 2nds, similar to the Khalik Mack trade? Or hell, maybe they wanted us to give 2nds in 2024 and 2025 so that we were just moving up 1 round in those drafts. These leaks may have had an agenda, otherwise why leak it? I'm sure there were hundreds of offers around the league and this was one of the only rejected ones publicized. Maybe the Panthers leaked it to try to get a team to give 2 1sts with fewer strings attached. Or maybe it really was just 2 1sts and Akers. It'd just be nice to get some official confirmation.

@mrcompletely11 still waiting for an answer, or at least why you said “it doesn’t work like that.”

 

You dont trade for picks straight up.  If someone approached wanting that 2nd then they would to have to make it worth our while, which in most cases is additional pick(s).  Its never a 1:1 trade

Wow so like your entire belief system is predicated on unquantifiable information, it’s almost impressive

It wouldnt be hard to surmise that a million nfl star that is on the cusp of an amazing payday would want to go to a competent franchise in Los Angeles rather then this clown show he has experienced here in charlotte.

I’m not sure what your problem with me is, but it’s pretty bizarre. And I can assure you that I know I’m not the most knowledgeable person on this board. As for most interesting? Your immature responses tells me you are too young to even know what my name is referencing. Cheers.

Funny. Thanks for calling me young. I rarely get that comment since I retired....

Absolutely.

If someone wanted this years 2nd, they would have to trade next years 2nd and 3rd, or 2nd 4th 5th, or next years…1st. 
 

Therefore…you actually agree with the opposing view that you have argued against for pages.

You literally just said that you wouldn’t accept next years 2nd for this years 2nd because they would have to make the trade “worth our while.”

 

Why does a team have to make it “worth our while?”

 

It’s because we could select a player right there to help our team right now, versus waiting a year to draft a player in the same round.

 

Thats why you demand either more picks, or a future pick in a higher round. 
 

What’s interesting about the logic, is how you can agree and disagree with it at the same time.

      Completely agreed.  TBH, we have had so many great players that are in my favorite list, and I hate to narrow it down to one, but Cam is it.  Which is crazy, because you would think it would be more of the guys I grew up watching, but no.  Cam was the single most impactful player to ever out on a football uniform imo.  And like I said in an earlier post, I always felt a kinship with him in a lot of ways…  the way he was treated and judged for the off the field stuff in Florida and having to overcome all of that and fight show at back.  And although I am not a black man, I have always been welcomed by and accepted more by minorities, and thus, I know what it’s like to be judged by appearances rather than the content of your character and who you actually are.  I know what it’s like to be stereotyped and written off or mistreated for your mistakes.  I know what it’s like to be held to a different standard while your peers don’t have to meet that same standard.  So I always related to that.  And the way he came in and just electrified the whole franchise, man…  I still think about it often how much it sucks that because of how talented he was, our staff out so much on him and that ultimately cut his career short.  You’re right, there will never be another Cam…  I think Josh Allen is the closest thing we will see for a long time, but Allen is not the running threat Cam was.  Cam could run you over or around you.  That was THE absolute funnest time to watch our team ever.

      It definitely needs more specificity than is baked in now.

      The weirdest encounter I had with a pro athlete was waiting in line at security at Mile High Stadium when I used to get the company suite tickets almost every week because I was the only employee based in Colorado. There's a small checkpoint accessing the suites that virtually no one knows about that you can usually squirt right through. I was standing there and looked over my shoulder and there stands John fuging Elway waiting in line behind me.  This was during the The Golden Calf of Bristol season right before he became GM. I just said "They make YOU go through security?" He's like "Yeah, ain't that a bitch. I literally have a statue out front and I gotta go through security like everybody else." I've heard mixed things about him but he was super nice and down to earth with me that day.
