Panthers actively shopping for a WR

Why does he keep trading away draft capital like the panthers are a team on fhe cusp of a super bowl? Were going to have some really shitty drafts for several years seemingly 

At some point you need to just eat your mistakes and commit to a rebuild.  All this retooling poo keeps sinking the franchise progressively deeper...

Look at his drafts. He can't keep fuging up drafts if he trades all the picks.

Remember when folks were saying 

- it’s better not having a #1 number.  This is one of the best WR corps we have ever had.  No one will have a clue where the QB is going with the ball.  It’s going to be such an advantage.

I knew when the team was saying TMJ was the #2 we were screwed. Dude is a bust, period.  Not every draft pick can be salvaged when they obviously don't meet expectations.  AT was going to provide some plays from the slot, but his days of taking over games are, well...over.  That left a rookie as the #1, one of which I was not high on.  Mingo was not one the WRs I wanted to draft.

I could get behind this but only for multiple years.  This year is toast so if it's only for a one year rental I'm out.

Yeah. It needs to be adding a weapon to play alongside Bryce here for a while. If they can find that it’s a good move. These kinds of moves were always on the horizon when you took a rookie QB. I don’t know why people are scandalized by it. You didn’t draft Young for this season.

Yep

Not even remotely a piece or two away for our team.  If you can get two starters for the price of one, you do it.  Franchise players are the exception to the rule and Burns is not a franchise player.  He's really good, but not the cornerstone of this team.

My concern is that he looks just like TMJ. I just think this organization really sucks at evaluating the WR position and always has. In the last 9 drafts we've taken 6 WRs in either the 1st or 2nd round. Other than DJ Moore we've simply made terrible choices.

We’ve gotten worse at it too. We can laugh at Funchess and KB, but year 3 for Funchess was 63-840-8TDs. Benjamin played 2.5 seasons for us compared to 2 seasons and 3 games for TMJ.

KB in 2.5 seasons 168-2424-18 TDs

TMJ 52-686-1TD

Funchess’ best year is more than TMJ’s career and KB in a few more games effectively tripled TMJ and TMJ still has 1 TD.

KB and Funchess didn’t work out but the scale of “not working out” is completely insane in comparison.

We suck at drafting WRs, especially of late.  We look at potential over production.  Outside of QB, I think WR is the most stat driven position in football where the proof is in the pudding.  When we continue to draft guys with "upside," "intangibles," and "athletic traits" over dudes with proven production and gaudy stat lines, then this is EXACTLY what you get.

KB is still such a huge "what if" story for me if he hadn't lost his mom and blew out his knee. Maybe he could've overcame one or the other but it just seemed like the combo of the two was too much. By all accounts he was the best player on the field that training camp he blew out his knee and second place wasn't even close.

I'll never forget that grab he made in perfect double coverage between the two best DBs in the game.

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
