The Rams had put a 2024 first, 2025 first and a 2023 second-round pick on the table for Panthers pass-rusher Brian Burns. Carolina refused to give up one of its core pieces

----

For everyone upset that we didn't trade Burns, for two #1 picks I have a question for you. How much of an impact do you think the Rams 2023 2nd round pick would have helped us this year with the current FO/GM running the show?  With the exception of Chinn who have we picked in the 2nd round since 2020 that has made a real impact on the field?

Those 1st round picks would have been in 2024 and 2025. Based on what I've seen so far, I wouldn't have any faith in our FO to choose the right players to address our needs. Fitz would probably trade down and pass over the blue chip players to get more draft choices... and end up adding more JAGS to the roster. I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt, but I don't think he's proven to be the talent evaluator we thought he would be.

Passing over Sam Howell and trading up to get Matt Corrall is inexcusable.

Trading down to get TMJ made no sense at all since we passed over at least 4-5 lineman who could have started immediately and Robbie Anderson had just been extended. After we picked him, KC picked Creed Humphrey at Center 5 picks later and seems to be on the verge of becoming an All-Pro

I don't even want to talk about the CJ Henderson and Sam Darnold trades.

I think he's got until 2024 to turn this thing around. If things don't start trending up that's a sign it's time to bring someone else in to run the FO.

At this point I'd rather sign Burns and make him the focus of our defense.
Unsure if Brown deserves the kind of cash he is going to expect.
No way we can give a bag to Jaycee Horn.

Pass rushers of Burns caliber are just extremely expensive in the draft and in FA.
Quality wideouts are routinely found in almost every round of the draft.

I'm also not entirely sure even a bonafide receiver can fix our current offensive woes.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
