I’m in the minority here but this wasn’t a bad trade at all. If we get our own Mahomes/Rodgers/Brady/Allen/Burrow/Brees this will be a slam dunk. There are 2 special Qb’s in this draft. 

It’s not a bad trade but not trading Burns hurts. Love Burns but that was more than enough to make the trade and then we would have had our full set of picks to put some weapons around him this year and the next two.

This is so much better than the lunacy brewing down in New Orleans, where they are further screwing themselves long-term to run it back with a bunch of old and injured players and Derek Carr, with the upside of maybe winning a down division.

This is a move to set this franchise up for the next decade.  If it doesn't work, of course it will be a setback but the upside with this approach is so, so much better.

Losing DJ hurts next year, but having a QB on a rookie deal makes all the other draft capital meaningless b/c the team will have a lot of cap space for the next 4+ years.

This is about potentially setting the team up to being a SB contender, not screwing around with the constant retreads anymore.

Agreed. The concept this trade will sink the franchise hasn’t been paying attention the last 5 years. Gotta try something to become competitive again, it’s not just going to magically happen

I mean playing in the SEC is as close to NFL emulation as you’re gonna get and he faired fine. He takes smart contact and plays angles as good as any qb I’ve seen. I’m legit hoping for Young.


How many games did he play in the SEC though?

We’re talking about a guy playing 17+ games a year for 10-15 years while aging.

Its a very different thing.

We keep pick 39 and 2025s 1st.  But DJ essentially replaced that value.  

I mean, this is just wild.

I am sure this will be stated later, but DJ was $20m vs the cap and the Bears had a ton of cap room.  So we can replace him in the draft and use the $$ in free agency

Just dropped in to say getting rid of DJ Moore when they’re about to draft a rookie QB was one of the dumbest things this team has done in awhile. Can’t find receivers as good as him in free agency without a higher price tag. Alright see y’all later

His deal was very team friendly and odds were he was gone after year two of the deal anyways because the Panthers had it set for him to get cut with little dead money after year 2. Most of Fitts deals are set up like this. It's been a recurring theme so far. 

I do see a two year window, dam shame DJ signed a team friendly deal and gets traded the next year.

I have marginally more trust in the coach, who hasn’t proven himself, than the GM, who despite the best efforts of his crack team of bootlickers, has proven himself to be an absolute buffoon. 

I’m not a fan of Fitterer. If you had any foresight that we were going QB hard then you have to trade Burns. No cap hut at all, a ton of cap to use to shore up the DL and pick 37(?) this year and two more firsts to easily trade up. The rookie will have a bare cupboard unless we waste all our 2024 space to add some guys who aren’t nearly as good as DJ.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers.

      Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      By XClown1986 · Posted

      I understand tempering expectations, but there are some issues with his points. Walker was a 3 year starter, but Green Bay let him walk and no other team was quick to snatch him up. That says something. Freeling will compete to start. With Hunter, we rotate our linemen and even 5th round pick Cam Jackson played some meaningful snaps last year. Both Brown III and Wharton have underwhelmed since we picked them up. Hunter is a run plugger that we have needed. Hunter will play early, even if he isn't the "starter." Brazzell was described as one of Canales' favorite prospects in the draft and he has a speed element we have been missing. I think Canales is going to have plays drawn up with Brazzell on the field just out of pure excitement. It will be up to Brazzell to prove he can handle it, though. If he can, he will play. As far as our secondary picks, yeah they have to earn their stripes and Evero tends to lean on veterans. So they might take time, but if they can show they can play, they will see the field. Smith-Wade and Ransom did. Sam Hecht simply has to show he can handle the mental side of the NFL game. If he can, he is in a direct competition with Fortner, who's also relatively young, but also on his 3rd NFL team and doesn't have the power profile of Hecht.  I can appreciate that Gantt wants to pour cold water on what was perceived as an impactful draft, but facts are facts.
