Confused Why Some Seem to Think We Got Fleeced

Honestly the price doesn't feel THAT extreme. I think both teams can feel pretty good about the deal they made. Now it's time to see how it all plays out. Sometimes the "winners" of a trade end up not winning when it's all said and done. The Chargers got an absolute haul from the Giants for Manning and hit some home runs with those picks but when it was all said and done the Giants won two SBs and the Chargers rarely kade any noise in the postseason.  Gimme them rangs.

I probably rechecked the trade terms about twenty times 😄

Couldn't believe we got the #1 for what was quoted, but it's true.

I don't think either team got fleeced. I do think a lot of this fanbase significantly underestimates DJ Moore's value and that might lead them to believe that we fleeced the Bears.

Remember a couple folks saying we got "raped" in the deal. To me, this doesn't even qualify as someone telling an offensive joke in front of us.

Fitterer seems to be good at those.

Handy skill to have, too. Teams like to trade with you when that happens.

Due to previous trades/picks, I'm not quite on onboard the "Fitterer is a good GM" express just yet.

However, Panthers management likes to tell us these sort of decisions are a collaborative effort and I have no reason to doubt that. 

So, what I'm willing to say is this: 

Fitterer and Tepper are now keeping company with a much more knowledgeable group of collaborators.

Hopefully, that makes for much better results from here on out.

The Bears traded a first, a fourth, and a fifth to move from 20 to 11 to take the 4th QB in a draft.

The 49ers traded 2 firsts and a third to move from 12 to 3 to take the 3rd QB in a draft.

We traded a first, 2 seconds, and DJ Moore to move from 9 to 1 and take the first QB off the board.

And some of y’all are actually complaining lol.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
