I just wanted to say "thank you" for being Panthers fans and for your willingness to share your thoughts here. This is probably a little corny, but I don't know many diehard Panthers fans (or whatever you would call this group). You all are the ones I come to for sharing the thrill of victory, the agony of defeat, and everything in between. We disagree at times, and sometimes quite often. But I appreciate everyone who contributes to this forum and even the lurkers. Otherwise, I would be hanging out on the Panthers' FB & Twitter messaging portals for my Panthers conversations...well, maybe not. Reading some of that makes me appreciate the Huddle even more. Anyway, thank you! And now a break from the Huddle to watch some youth basketball, which can be much more frustrating than Panthers' football at times.

Speaking of youth basketball, I'm telling y'all if you get a chance to watch Freedom High School do it. I've seen Freedom have far better teams but they have two of the freakier athletes I've ever seen on a HS basketball court and I've seen a ton of D1 guys come through. The best player of the two is only a sophomore so you'll have two more years to see him unless he ends up going the prep school route which is rare for a Freedom player.

I'm telling you, freaky. That kid is maybe 6'2" ish and can get his head to the rim.

OK, just get to the point.  How much do you want?

Around here, I get to deal with Cowboy fans (or people who call themselves Cowboys fans), Broncos fans, and sometimes even somebody wearing a Cardinals jersey.  Then there are the occasional Raidahs jerseys, but I don't think those folks know they moved from LA, let alone Oakland (twice) or that they are a pseudo-NFL team.  So Panthers discussions are like hen's teeth.

      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.
