Not so sure our owner agrees.

Frankly, I'd put a pretty high likelihood on the criteria for what we would or wouldn't accept for guys like Moore and Burns having been discussed with Tepper.

Sounds like you think Tepper is the real GM and you are probably correct

Via our old friend Brandon Beane (retweeted by Mike Kaye)

Basically, if someone looks in the general direction of a certain player, they're trying to trade for him.

I didn't get that at all from the clip. He said the exact opposite IMO. He said his scouts look into a player's availability (as they should), but then it often gets reported that the team is trying to make a trade ... when in fact he (Beane) doesn't even know what his scouts are doing.

You’re also assuming David Tepper has even the slightest ability to construct a winning franchise which he has shown no inclination of being able to do….

Turning down the Burns package was a massive mistake and Rhule isn’t here.

I'm not assuming anything about Tepper's ability. Note the wording of my post:

"Tepper knows or at least thinks, most of the bad decisions were on Fhule." 

That wasn't a statement of Tepper's ability, just an observation that as owner, he should have a greater knowledge than you or I of exactly who advocated for what within the FO. If he cans Fhule, but keeps Fitts and reports are that Fitts is very safe, we can infer Tepper's likely perception, and Tepper has greater direct knowledge than you or I. One would hope that means he's making a better decision, but I'm not assuming so either at this point, given Tepper's overall track record to date.

Bleacher Report is saying the Rams offered 2 firsts and a 2nd.  If that's true then fitt needs to be escorted out of the building

100% agree. As if the Darnold trade and subsequently picking up his $19m 5th year option to sit on the bench wasn’t enough of a reason.

Ehhhhh... yeah that's starting to get in the range of take the money and run. Burns is a talented pass rusher in his prime, but he has flaws.  Your chances of being able to replace him with even younger, cheaper talent and still come out ahead start to look crazy in this context.

Pass rushers can be capable of making an immediate impact if talent and opportunity are there, so trading away Burns only means the delay til we get their picks, not additional years down the road for a drafted rusher to mature.

So, I can see where there are reasons to hold your own, mostly because it would devastate the locker room, I have a feeling. You get the rep of instability as a place to sign. That sort of thing.

That is the only way I could argue against it. 
 

Someone else pointed out the potential of holding high picks. Use one 1st, roll the other one over into more futures. Rinse and repeat. 
 

When those picks come into play in 24 and 25 Burns better have torn it up and stayed healthy for two years.

I think he is letting fitt run things

With everyday decisions he likely is.

Rvery report that has detailed prior trade discussions though has confirmed that Fitterer takes a collaborative approach. He works with Morgan, scouts and others and, on high profile decisions at least, Tepper.

      Panthers coverage efficiency

      By NAS · Posted

      Call me crazy but if you’re in the bottom 7 in efficiency using Zone 84% of the time why not try something else? You paid Jaycee top 5 CB money use him more effectively. Zone is only efficient if you can generate a good pass rush to force a QB into mistakes otherwise you will get picked apart

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.
