National media bias is real

Cam Newton would have been beloved if he played for Cowboys

Steve Smith would have been considered a top 5 WR of all time and a HOF if he played for the 49ers or Chiefs

Luke Kuechly would be considered one of the best middle LBs of all time if he had played for Steelers or the Ravens

DJ Moore was never even talked about until this trade, suddenly the Bears got themselves a top 5 WR.  LOL

There are exceptions to this, but of course, the pundits are mostly lazy and only research their talking points for the big market teams.  The lack of intelligent analysis and insights are shocking.  

Panthers didn't get fleeced in the trade, if anything they came out slightly ahead in terms of value analysis.  But all that anyone talks about is how smart their GM is, the same GM who traded a 2nd rounder for Chase Claypool, LMAO.

Steve and Luke get a ton of credit and are/were always highly regarded, so while I don't disagree with the general point your inclusion of those two undercuts it.

Also, Carolina has sucked in a boring way (nothing like the Jags/Meyer circus, Hue in Cleveland, etc) while DJ has been in the league and crappy teams don't tend to get attention. Nothing really new there.

Nobody got fleeced in the trade it's an unknown until we see our future QB and DJ Moore in a bears uniform. But folks already declaring Moore a dud in Chicago before he's already suited up may want to slow their roll.

topic is national media.  DJ Moore is no dud but folks acting like we traded Tyreek Hill

Steve and Luke get the minimal credits, they can't be ignored completely, but you're delusional if you don't think they would have been put on much higher pedestal if they played in bigger markets

Obviously he is not Hill or Jefferson or Chase. But the onus is on us to not only replace him but considering we discarded him we must find an even better replacement. Trading him was the easy part.

People and media are saying "BONAFIDE #1" lol Yeah no. I put him in that Gabe Davis, Devonta Smith, Mike Williams range. Moore is a good player, he is not elite like the media is making him out to be.

I think he's somewhere in between, he is a below average WR#1 because he doesn't dominate and barely scores touchdowns.

And I think that both will ultimately achieve the highest honor, as they should, regardless of where they played. Hell, NFL types give them their props right now. At the end of the day that's really all that matters. Once you're in the HOF, you're in the HOF.

Oh no, how will we replace his 888 receiving yards!

You're totally missing the point.  But I'm fine, it's time for Panthers to flip the narrative for the next decade.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.

      Maybe faked was too strong of a word.  "Milked" may be the better way to call it.
