so you think Burns by himself is more valuable than Keeping Brown, Luvu, a 1st and Jameson Williams in this hypothetical trade? I was all for keeping Burns and paying him 28million but at this point I'm not expecting it and feel like he's going to get the tag and trade treatment this offseason. Fan base going downhill is comical? Have you seen the post in this place? I'm an optimist compared to 90% of this place.

Im not talking about any trades. Im talking about the mindset of the fanbase. Every time a player is ready to get paid we seem to want to trade them for picks or a player on a rookie contract.

Im just wondering why are fans against paying our homegrown players?

I don't think that's true on the whole. There are alwaysfans that think X player is overrated/not worth the money/etc, and they are frequently outspoken. It gets a lot of attention around here because big players are just that - big.

I think it's also a symptom of the state of the team sucking for so long. It's like a perpetual rebuild/state of purgatory, and one way to dig out is to maximize and spread the value of the players a team has. Carolina's FO has also happened to suck at it for the past decade.

People rioted when we paid Shaq. We also historically pay our all stars: Cam, Luke, Moton, CMC, DJ. 

I'd be all for paying Burns if we were close, but an above average DE does not move the needle at all for this team, a Lions first could possibly get you the best guard or the 3rd WR in the next draft which does a lot more for this particular team.

I'm all for paying Burns, Should of done it last year. Pay him, Pay Brown, Pay Luvu. But they do dumb things like pay Donte Jackson, pay Miles Sanders, pay Shuttle who has been a dud.

I keep thinking of this place shitting on Fitt for the CJ Henderson and a 5th for Arnold and a 3rd trade. 
 

That was a year removed from CJ being a top 10 pick. 

 

Now a lot of people are okay trading for Williams based on his draft status, while showing far less than CJ had in the NFL.

 

I would love to take a flyer on Williams, but the inconsistency is pretty funny.

I want my teams GM trying those low risk high reward type trades. I loved that move. 

Same would go if fitts able to buy low on what many called the best WR form the 2022 class.

I don't think Burns wants to be hear anymore.  We might as well trade him off for a decent return.  

Didnt he start a new charity this past year?

I think him and the army around him want every nickle close to 30per million. No hometown discount.

I still say tag and go form there.

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      By Panthero · Posted

      Given that the immediate impact we need at edge. We almost certainly address that in Free agency, not in the draft. Same with Linebacker, unless Styles or Allen is still there at 19. I think the same for OT.  What is the position that we could draft in the 1st round and get immediate help in the first is how im approaching their decision-making  I know ill get dragged for this, but im thinking they go DT in the first. A guy that can play right away and be a complement to D.Brown to wreak havoc at the LOS.   So unless a top tier LB is there, I think DT will be the move.

      Cam Newton & Steve Smith Sr. break the silence after 10 years

      By ok2h8pep · Posted

      I think people forget that by his last season Steve Smith had the ass and he played like it - and for no really good reason other than that other stars were emerging on the team and he didn't want to share the spot light.  He was more of a locker room distraction than he was worth. He went on to have great performances with the Ravens' but G-man made the right move allowing him to move on from here.  I personally think it was addition by subtraction and we don't have a super bowl run with Smith on the roster. Steve Smith remains a narcissist who I've never seen internalize his own culpability when it comes to his relationships with others - it's always somebody else's fault as to why he was forced to act like an asshole. This video is a product ad.  I'm cringed that either of these two Panther greats are party to it.

      I think the ‘issue’ here is that we had two guys that clashed for several reasons. In some ways they were different, but in other ways they had a lot in common, and sadly they couldn’t see the forest for the trees. Sometimes when you have two people like that together they are either going to love or hate each other, and if it’s the latter, you need someone to mediate and hope the two individuals are capable of putting their differences aside for the common good. In this instance, they couldn’t find a way to move forwards together because I don’t think either guy wanted to play second fiddle to the other. This video basically said neither guy had the tools to bridge that gap and mend that fence, and perhaps also were unwilling to give an inch at that stage in their lives and careers. So a divorce, while unfortunate, was always likely. Do we win the Super Bowl with Smitty and Cam? Well, it’s one of life’s big what ifs for us Panthers fans.
