You sure about that? 🤔

(Hint: might want to look back at who we're talking about)

His wording was weird...

He basically said Henderson+5th rounder = shitty TE + 3rd rounder. Nothing about this trade screams "worst trade of all time". The trade was meh at worst.

Yeah, kind of a weird thing to say, especially regarding a team that has Sean Gilbert in their history.

Agreed, it wasn't a great trade, but it wasn't a bad one either.  Neither player is setting the world on fire, so at worst we traded a third for a fifth.  Not the best trade, but we did need a cb, so I understand why we took a shot.  

I just hope Horne can stay healthy this year.

Well, that wasn't technically a trade, but it was a horrible deal.  But most of these folks are too young to remember it.  It was definitely the worst in Panther history, and maybe the third worst in my time of watching NFL football.  Only the Herschel Walker (Minnesota) and Ricky Williams (Saints) deals were worse.

I remember both of those...yikes 😬

Some talk of Arnold being brought back for TE depth...he can't block worth a flip.

...and Thomas has stone hands.

If only you could fuse the two of them you might have an all-around tight end.

Agreed, completely!  I have had that thought many, many times. 

I still don't know how Thomas got that contract.  We seriously overpaid for the 3 or 4 surprise catches he will make for us per year.

I would have to add what the 49ers gave up to trade for Trey Lance as “up there too”. They gave up 3 first rounders for a QB that never did anything. Ouch.

The Henderson trade was not one of Fitterer’s finest moments.

I recall Rhule saying that they loved him when he was in the draft and when he became available after such a short opportunity, he pounced.

Having said that, I do not think CJ wants to play football.  His issues are not talent-based--they are dispositional, it seems.

RBs have long been devalued--it just took us a while to realize it!

Yeah that was a Rhule "total control" trade.

      I’m expecting a breakout season from Ja'tavion Sanders

      By Car123 · Posted

      Not many are talking about this player. He played well as a rookie last year. If he refines his blocking, continues studying film, and keeps working hard, I can see him being the next Greg Olsen. I’m expecting 55 catches, 700 yards, 4 TDs this season.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      I'm not a Bryce hater and I would 100% move on.  Especially looking at how the upcoming qb draft looks on paper.  Hopefully he continues to improve but if in 3 seasons you're still chasing average season numbers then he's not going to be the guy.  You've just got to keep taking swings until you hit.  Average qbs without any elite physical traits cant get it done anymore.  So this year Hopefully he continues to develop and is above average statistically.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By panthers55 · Posted

      Meltdowns???? He was pulled by Canales because he wasn't executing the game plan after 2 games into the season so he could watch Dalton execute the offense and show Bryce the windows available in the NFL, how to push the ball down the field and how to step up and move around when blitzed. When Young came back 5 games later he clearly watched and improved. Enough he was named the future starter. He doesn't have a history of  meltdowns nor is there any reason to assume he will have one. From what I have read he is mentally strong and emotional stable. He may have bad games down the road, everyone does. But this is all a learning experience for him and so far he seems to be making progress. I can understand being hesitant on anything Panthers, but Young has surprisingly been able to gain his confidence after a disastrous start. You aren't alone in being cautious but I think he is the future. I thought he was too small and too short to succeed in the NFL. Honestly I was pleasantly surprised last year and am optimistic about the offense for the first time since Wilks and Dalton were decent.
