They're Not Done Trading

Don't be surprised if DJ Moore isnt the only player traded this offseason.  Carolina is in a straightup rebuild.  Completely new staff with different needs for players.  It's getting blown up.  I would not be surprised to see Burns traded before he walks with no compensation next year.

You may be onto something.

I wouldn't be surprised if we end up trading back a spot or two and picking up some picks.  That's Fitt's style.  He's a wheeler and dealer.  If he knows the #2 or 3 won't take the guy we want, he'll trade back.

As far as players, I don't think we'll be dealing anyone else.  Premium is on QBs, Ts, Edge guys, and WRs, and out of our tradeable assets, we have Burns who would command the most in a trade, but both he, his brother, and guys around the team have already said we were working on an extension with him.  So that's not happening.

Even after we turned down multiple offers for Burns? I don't see it...

I get the impression they think this roster will be ready to plug in a rookie QB which is why they traded up for that pick. Any other trades will probably be getting rid of lower tier players for low picks. 

Damn, I hope we aren’t that dumb. Look at Lawrence. I know Pederson was a huge upgrade over Meyer, but Lawrence in year 2 added a solid TE in Engram, a solid WR in Kirk and a solid RB in Etienne.

A rookie QB and the weapons we have now is not a good team yet. I’m sure I sound like a broken record but Fitterer made a huge error mot trading Burns. Trading Burns for 2 1sts and pick 36 would have been the perfect complement to this trade up. Could have gotten one of the top WRs and one of the top TEs with 36 and 39. There are no Waddles/Chases, but there are Moore type late first early 2nd WRs. There are a ton of solid TEs and it wouldn’t take much to move up a bit either.

You’d walk out of the draft with a rookie QB, WR and TE and a ton of Moore and Burns cap for D starters and have 3 more firsts in 2024/2025. In year 3 of rookie QB we’d have stud weapons and several D starters. You could even wait for 2024 to load up on D starters in FA.

Burns ain't getting traded.  Our current defensive coordinator was with the Rams when they offered two 1sts for Burns.  I'm sure Evero played a part in that, so he wouldn't like if we traded Burns now.  Heck, Burns may be a reason he decided to come here.

Still wouldn't mind trading Burns if the compensation is right. I think he could be a great player in this defense, much better than he has been previously there is definitely potential however he will be cashing in on a $100+ million deal and we've seen multiple times that players don't live up to that potential after signing those massive deals. Hopefully Burns will continue to work hard at being an elite player even after he gets his massive contract.

    • Idk man, I think it’s necessary.  There’s people working 9-5s everyday that get told poo about what they aren’t and what they’re not capable of and they’re working for scraps.  These guys are making millions.  People are watching and invested because their team and fandom is a part of their identity and a big source of pride.  When someone like Bryce comes in and is given chance after chance after chance after proving he is not worthy of the position he’s being gifted, and he continues to be the biggest reason above any that we are losing, yeah…  I think it’s fair to call a spade a spade.  Am I saying Bryce the person is trash?  Bryce the person is a piece of poo?  Absolutely not.     I came up in an era, especially in basketball, where if you were fuging up people heckled the poo out of you.  I played in rec leagues as a teen where the fuging parents were calling kids trash and yelling poo like “TURNOVER!!!  TURNOVER!!!”  “CANT DRIBBLE!”  “CANT SHOOT!”  And that’s adults screaming that poo to kids like we were in the fuging Rucker lol.🤣🤣🤣  I went on to play basketball at a collegiate level and with professional players in different settings.  What those experiences as a kid taught me was to see if there is any merit to what people are saying, and if there is, then work my ass off til they can’t say that anymore.  Come back better, tougher, harder.  And I did.  If kids can figure that poo out, an adult calling another adult who is bad at his job while making millions and millions of dollars will be just fine.  
    • I have tried to like this team, lord knows I have tried. BY9 is a nice young man, if I had a daughter he can take her to prom, but he ain't QB1 and he's not Cam or Delhomme Chuba is a average RB, he isn't Stephen Davis, he isn't J-Stew McMillan has the makings of a good WR, but he isn't 89/Moose D. Brown is a great player, but if the game was on the line I want Kris Jenkins       I miss this brand of football, even in the bad Jake games the games were entertaining It has been nearly 8 years now of watching numb football
    • I'm not so sure. Something about the whole Frank/Bryce situation seemed off from day 1. Bryce didn't fit Frank's QB mold as well as Stroud, then he basically gives up when Bryce is named starter in preseason but gets virtually no reps in games. Then he looks completely unprepared and Dalton steps in in Seattle, has a decent game under immense pressure, and it's right back to Bryce. All his mechanics are terrible and he's having the worst rookie season ever and Frank doesn't bench him?  You dont have to be a conspiracy theorist to know Bryce wasn't ready to be a day 1 starter. Everything with Bryce, then coaches, and the FO seemed forced.
