Hindsight is always 20/20 but in hindsight the obvious answer was to pay Reddick (a lot less than Burns would require) and take the haul for Burns. Oh well.

And keep CMC and Moore for Young. Hindsight is always 20/20, but it sure seems like most of the realistic fans have better ideas than what the team actually does. Oh, but we can’t play GM.

Here’s one to gnaw on, the trade value we gave up and used to draft Corral and DJ Johnson is almost the same as the trade value we got for CMC. We gave up more to get Darnold than we got for CMC. We gave up about half the trade value we got for CMC to get CJ Henderson.

It was always utterly baffling to trade our only proven WR as part of a package to trade up to draft our QB. When I saw the news of the trade come scrolling across the ESPN ticker while sipping a beer at Ass Clown Brewing (how prescient of an omen that has been given how Bryce has looked thus far) my very first initial reaction was, "Okay, well who the fug is this kid gonna throw to?"

"WR are easier to replace than pass rushers" - Fitt

so far, Fit has found neither or have trade them or let them walk in FA

While Fitts doesn't deserve any credit for it we're currently 5th in the NFL in sacks. Rushing the passer isn't our problem. Hell, pretty much all of our problems revolve around the offensive passing game.

yeah only a clown would  move up & draft an undersized rookie QB & all at the same time trade away his bona fide #1 WR not something instead an NFL GM would actually decide to do...just saying

I think the best option is trading Chinn for Jameson Williams and a conditional pick. Vonn Bell and Xavier Woods have done well at Safety. 

I don't think Burns should be traded until the draft order is finalized at the end of the regular season. Need to see at least what Haynes looks like after returning from short-term IR

This doesn't have to be solved in one year. 3 teams pop into my head right away with how they handled supplying weapons around their young QBs. Philly, Miami and Buffalo.

Philly: QB 2020, 1st round WR 2021 (Devonta Smith), Trade WR 2022 (AJ Brown)

Miami: QB 2020, 1st round WR 2021 (Jaylen Waddle), Trade WR 2022 (Tyreek Hill)

Buffalo: QB 2018, FA WR 2019 (John Brown), Trade WR 2020 (Stefon Diggs)

There are potential WR trade targets that won't cost 1st round picks, their will probably be an undervalued free agent WRs, team is currently likely will use use their second rounder on another weapon too like it did with Mingo this past year.

Burrow took off once he had Chase. They were able to draft Chase because “rebuilding” teams have 1st rounders!

So not only did we trade away our WR1 but we also traded away our best shot at finding one the following year 

Herein lies the problem. We didn't suck enough last year to be rewarded with a top quarterback during the draft this year, so our wonderful GM and his brass balls owner traded up to draft BY and justified it by saying "we don't plan on picking high next year".

Fitterer literally said this...and he looks stupid right now.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
