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

I don't see how you can evaluate a trade except by taking the outcome into account. Evaluating the hypothetical value is pointless.

That's like rationalizing spending $100k on lottery tickets because you COULD have won the Powerball that's worth billions. That logic didn't work on my wife, and it doesn't work here.

The time to debate the value of the trade up to #1 should taken place before the pick was made. Now it's made, so the trade should be evaluated based on what Bryce cost us, what Bryce has produced, and the icing on this shitcake is witnessing the opportunity cost in the form of Stroud.

I don't disagree. But as someone has said if we had made the same trade and drafted Stroud nobody would consider it a bad deal. There are some who argued before we even made the pick that it wasn't worth it regardless of whether we picked a franchise QB or a bust, which is nonsense.

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…..

 

terrible contract and he was never able to stay healthy. Remember, he only played 10 games the previous two seasons. Most observers praised the compensation the panthers received for that trade, and as bitter a pill it is to swallow I think it as the good move. They just didn't follow it up with good moves so it makes things worse in retrospect. They took those picks and let Tepper's wife draft a 35 year old linebacker who has barely cracked the roster. 

The world where CMC is still doing well with the Panthers is also probably a world Reich isn't hired, Wilkes is given the HC position, and Bryce is never drafted. Obviously we all want that world. CMC on this current version of the Panthers would be completely wasted. Just getting tee'd off on behind the line of scrimmage and would probably be hurt. It'd be like the end of 2019 when they were just force feeding him to get him a record. 

It sucks but I'm glad he's not here. Dude might win MVP this year and all Panthers fans should be happy for him. If they win the Super Bowl, I'll be cheering for him. Guy was the definition of class as a Panther, embodied Keep Pounding if ANYONE did, and if they want to put him in the ring of honor one day I'd be all for it.

Worst because he was so clearly inadequate. Herschel was a beast, a proven player. 

If I were a Vikes fan I wouldn’t say that but this is the worst case ever for a team, I don’t know what was worse. This has monumental consequences if The Panthers are of any kind of importance to you. 

 

BTW These morning guys on WFNZ are truly tards, while I am venting.

A definition of a colossal bust carries so much weight. If you miss on players like Jamarcus Russell or Ryan leaf it’s can really set you back a years. The reason this hurts so much with Bryce is the picks we gave away and how much worse the trades made this team horrible ….and here it is…across the board. The whole team is trash because of losing those pics and trading away players.  
 

I personally think this was one f the worst trades in NFL history because of how bad it made the team.

Trading Moore made it a bad trade. You don't send what little talent you have away from the rookie QB you are picking, just dumb from any angle. Young and capable WR replaced with another 2nd round typical Panther WR special. Dumb.

Picking Young made it an epically and historically bad trade. Young as a prospect wasn't nearly as good as a lot were yelling everywhere and it ended up being embarrassingly wrong. Young on this team with how it was built was stupid. Young with Reich was stupid. 

And no the Texans wouldn't be doing great with Young. They would just have wasted 1 first rounder and not another one, a starting WR and even more draft capital. They may have 2 or even 3 wins but if you think Young would be lighting it up like Stroud then you are still missing the obvious other parts of why Young is not going to pull out from the bust tailspin he is in now.

They are +2 wins over last season after dealing with us. We are -6 right now. They are showing improvement. We are currently, actually, what your head thinks of the Bears. 

They aren't mutually exclusive.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
