Second dumbest move of the offseason was passing on D Hopkins to pair with Young. Easily could have afforded him.

First dumbest move was giving up Dj Moore in the first place. Get pick #3 and this season is completely different. Probably still get Bryce too lol.

Year in and year out we all call for moves that make a ton of sense…it doesn’t happen. Then there is retrospective analysis. Pretty frustrating. Who knows how the season for the team and BY is different if he has Thielen AND Hop as his top receivers.

I understand you love Alabama, but you can’t trade for players who aren’t available. 

You obviously do not follow other teams on who is available and their needs like i do. They NEED Burns to fill their missing link and are loaded with playmakers. Do the math and you will understand the Lions are highly motivated but are we????

Yes a random writer suggested they trade him.  I don't see them moving on from a first round WR after a year and a half when they haven't been able to see  what they have him.  Generally teams that are contending don't give away players/weapons to acquire talent, they would likely move draft picks.  They have St Brown and LaPorta is looking legit, but are an offensive team that isn't wanting to get rid of fire power.  It's why the Bengals aren't trading Higgins this year either.  They want him for the playoiffs.

We already know your argument make little sense unfortunately. Higgins for the Bengals is proven commodity in the NFL and is highly NEEDED if an elite corner is able to shut down Chase. No difference than Gabe Davis being their 2nd option if the defense can shut down Diggs like last night. Jemo is NOT proven and is burning a hole in their cap for being a high draft pick while they do NEED Burns to get them over the top, so they CAN compete against the likes of Philly/SF for the chance to represent in the SB. The window is short so when the opportunity present itself, any smart GM would try to make it happen. We are wasting Burns talent on a rebuilding team while Jemo can hopefully replace DJ as our ONLY playmaker! Please think next time.

0-6 and we're grasping at straws

There is no reason to. The cast is set. We just are what we are. 

No reason to trade away anything. Let the chips fall where they may and evaluate the FO and coaching staff in the offseason.

I am even off the firing Reich bandwagon. WTF does it even matter at this point? Do we really expect some sort of miraculous, Wilks-like turnaround?

OMFG NO. STOP IT. If this 0-6 team trades away anything for a player prior to the trade deadline, Fitterer needs to be fired immediately. We will have plenty of cap space to make moves in the off-season. 

It's like going to Vegas and gambling away all your spending money. Pulling from the kids college fund isn't going to turn your luck around. It will only dig a deeper hole. Hold tight, enjoy your prepaid shows. There will be other vacations. 

Late round picks mean about as much as signing a UDFA. They're akin to the bin items at Goodwill. We'll over half of them end up with as much value as the peanut shells people toss on the floor at Logan's Roadhouse.

For me, player acquisitions, regardless of when they happen, are all about value.

Ok well let’s just see if they trade away their first round WR from a year ago or not. I’m betting they don’t but I won’t complain if we get him.

I'm not for firing him either. We made that mistake last year. We aren't winning the division. We may not win a game. Take our lumps, get the 33rd pick, chalk it up to another Tepper FUBAR, and go get Ben Johnson.

If he turned us down last year, he isn't likely to come this time. He has a good thing going in Detroit. There is no reason to leave there for a while, TBH.

      I think Canales goes before Young in that scenario.

      Joe Person: Panthers are NOT expected to extend Bryce Young before the 2026 season

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      But that's the point, if the locker room feels that way, then you're going to upset them by still keeping Bryce around and playing him over the Top 10 pick, as opposed to bringing in a vet to start until the rookie is ready. Again, it goes one of 3 ways... 1. Bryce plays well enough to earn an extension 2. Bryce still sucks and we draft his replacement who starts Week 1 with a new QB as his backup 3. Bryce still sucks, we draft his replacement in the 1st, but they start the season backing up a new vet QB who was brought in to be his mentor. With an OUTSIDE chance at a 4th option where Bryce plays well enough to convince the team to let him play out the 5th year option and then make a decision.  Which I can't see it happening, but there is still a non zero chance of that happening I guess. The only way we draft a QB next year and still have Bryce on the roster, is if we're taking someone in the middle rounds hoping to develop them as a long term backup to Bryce.

      Brown on BY9 while talking to Chris Long

      I hear you. But I am not absolving Legette just because he is from my neck of the woods or anything else.  Tge comment was more about the fans uneven application of blame.  I do agree that there is a noticeable disconnect between him and the QB and that he might do better with a more polished and capable delivery man.  Abd don’t feel that they used XL right, or at least how I expected it to look.  And that could be a function of a reticent WB that shies away from that style of attack. I mean it was either him or Canales that pretty much eliminated downfield from the playbook - even while we see guys running free at times. It Could work if they commit to it.  Whoever isn’t committing.
