Confused Why Some Seem to Think We Got Fleeced

At the end of the day it did take 3 1sts because we value Moore as a 1st. We turned down a first from GB for him. The difference is we need some cap room and the Bears need some established player so it works for both teams. I’m glad they took 61 vs 39 this year. 39 should be a solid starter as well. I also wonder if we package our 2 4ths for a 3rd during the draft.

Because they listen to the pundits who are biased toward big market teams like Chicago.  This is a good trade for Chicago too IF Justin Fields develops into a true franchise QB and a competent passer  (jury's still out).  It'll also be interesting to see if  DJ Moore can prove to be the WR1 that Fields needs to do that.  

For the Panthers, it's absolutely a great trade assuming that CJ Stroud or B. Young is our franchise QB for the next 10-15 years.  Simple as that and totally worth it.

I honestly thought we would have to give up two additional firsts and trading DJ instead is better because I'm not sure he has that value with his contract. 

 

This. When I went to look up some opinion videos on the trade it was basically all from Chicago’s perspective. It’s funny how high the opinion is on DJ Moore all of a sudden. Suddenly, he’s some top 5 level WR when the Panthers trade him.

I understand. Do you like the Reich hire? Also who do you think the top QB is? If this was Rhule I would probably be right there with you…

I liked the Reich hire (it was him or Wilks for me), but if he signs off on someone who didn't put up 346 yards in the CFP semifinal, I'll gladly call it a mistake. There's the only player who can transform a franchise for the better in this draft.

But nothing is more Panthers than avoiding that guy. Simply put: if you take a series of options, and predict the worst one with this team, you're gonna be right more than you're wrong. And I'd gladly eat crow if Kyler Jr. pans out. 

If anyone else is the pick, I'll help them pack boxes for their next city.

I thought it was a very fair trade for both teams. So considering how many QB needy teams we needed to jump I thought we did very well 

I think Moore is going to go off in Chicago. He is a much better deep threat than people realize due to our QB situation over the years. Moore and Fields will make for an exciting duo

At the end of the day, nothing matters in this league unless you have your QB. So this was a trade we had to make

You have to have a QB who can actually throw for that to happen. Fields ain’t that guy

So if it’s Stroud are you ok with this trade to get him?

The only way we will know if we go fleeced is to look at this a few years from now.  If we draft Young or Stroud, and they turn out to be the next Patrick Mahomes, it was a great deal.  If we draft one of them and it turns out that the qb is a bust, and the Bears become a playoff contender, then we got fleeced.  

If both teams still suck, then it doesn't matter.

      Draft Taylen Green

      I think he has closed the gap a little bit between him and a backup coming in and badly showing him up.  But not so much that someone could not come in and make the offense look like Andy did in Seattle week 3 2023. That poo was night and day to Bryce was putting out.  So, they are in a sense playing with fire by getting rid of Dalton and actually trying to bring in someone to push him.

      Some people have been beaten down so long they have no standards. Can't be reasoned with.

      Getting better, might be fairly charitable. We finished 1-3 with the pressure on. That is for sure not trending up.  I don’t see a clear run of performances that prove he has taken it to another level. Not yet.  I would say he played really well in the WC game. And folded on that last series where we still had a chance. I think he threw one good ball. That last series is the kind of thing a player is supposed to learn from and not repeat. We have to see him do it before we can credit him for doing it.    I would also say he has not done enough of playing at his ceiling and what we should expect as the game in game out norm is still not established.  We gonna get MNF in SF or we gonna get the WC game? Seattle or Atlanta yardage record?   Besides that he has three years of horrendous play to start the season hanging over him. Are we going to get that again or will he be over that? We can’t know that. Mind you, that isn‘t two of three it is three of three he has yet to play well to start the year as a pro. Ofer.    So, many questions remain.    As far as weapons and help… said it before. Fix the OL so we can protect him.  It is time for a 1.1 pick in his 4th season, third year in the same offense, to elevate the players we have given him. You can’t keep up the level of investment dedicated to propping him up, you have to prop up the defense too and get some balance.
