If Bryce busts, was that the worst trade in the history of the NFL?

If CMC ends up with a HOF career then the Panthers trade to the 49’ers ends up being the worst Panthers trade…..I was shocked by how little they got for one of the best offensive weapons in the game. He is more than a RB…..

So, what are we thinking now? 

Climbing the list to #1 overall like our pick for the Bears?

2nd to the Trey Lance trade.

Nope. It will be worse bc we’ll be giving up the #1 pick from the best draft of our lifetime. SF never drafts high anyway.

Three of the four worst trade scenarios in Panthers history have happened in the Tepper era.

1. The Bryce trade

2. The CMC trade

3. Turning down the Burns offer

The other one being trading for franchise tagged Sean Gilbert.

they gave up more firsts. Imagine not having a first round pick not only next year but the year after too.

Tepper is going to F this up even more and decide everyone needs to go and start auctioning off disgruntled defensive assets; Brown, Horne, Burns, Woods, etc. Those trades will also go down in history as bad trades as well.

Actually, The Herschel Walker trade is still worse, then Trey Lance, then Bryce.

The Vikings traded away their 1st and 2nd round picks for 3 straight years.

That got totally neutralized by them getting Purdy 

I guess If you're just completely focused on the trades themselves then sure.  But from a broad perspective if youre considering everything that happened, they were already loaded with talent and found another qb pretty quickly.  

We were bad team that got significantly worse with our #1 pick and if we don't solve it any time soon the trade up to 1 will seem even more egregious

They gave up the 30th picks. We gave up #1 in the best draft in decades.

Imagine having three straight winning seasons. That's what the Niners have had since that trade. Panthers fans can literally only imagine that.

Yeah, they blew that trade but what keeps it from being an all-time awful trade is the team success they've had in spite of it. Winning fixes everything.

Per the draft pick value chart you need 5 #30s to equal one #1.

The trade was bad, but not as bad as the pick.  The pick is why they will get the #1 next year.

And technically the Gilbert one wasn’t even a trade, it was signing a franchise tagged player
