We didn't make the trades we should've made and made all the ones we shouldn't have.  

 

No trade down in 2021 from #8 with teams calling (could've gained a 1st)

No Burns trade at one of the highest market non-QB values you'll find  (2 firsts)

Didn't play hardball in CMC's deal with multiple teams calling

Traded for Sam Darnold (gave up a 2nd, 4th and 5th)

Traded for CJ Henderson (gave up a third)

Traded for Matt Corral (gave up an extra 3rd)

Traded for Brandon Smith (gave up a higher pick package)

Traded for #1 Overall (gave up DJ Moore and a boatload)

Traded up for DJ Johnson..next picks proceeded to be Achane, Diaby and Spears lol

 

Fail after fail after fail after fail after fail

this FO has no idea how to do anything right.

once tepper bought this team we've been doing nothing but fail at everything we do. we don't just fail, we make every failure epic. 

tepper has yet to prove he can do anything right. i mean he hasn';t done ONE THING right since he bought this team. zero. nada.

Far from correct. He fell to us when drafted. He’s a very good DE..which someone will fall in love with 

huh?  I was implying he has 2nd round pick written all over him….as in what a team would offer for him. 

And it’s a fact he has only hit double digit sacks once in his career after an half decade in the league and teams will be negotiating with a Carolina team that doesn’t want to pay him. 

Burns is a good speed pass rusher.  Burns isn’t actually very good DE.   He is a weak run defender and frankly is limited in how he gets to the passer vs a more complete and dominant pass rusher

  The last big DE deal was Sweat and he only brought a 2nd. Without the contract uncertainty(because he agreed to it first) and not being a liability on at least 40% of his snaps. Now Burns doesn’t even excel in his biggest strength with a DT that had a great year. 
 

    You have to tag him which will tie up 23M in cap room whether he signs or not. Which he won’t. He would have to agree with a new team on a contract before he would sign. Why would a team give him a lot more that and give up a first when he wouldn’t be worth it if he was a FA? Knowing he is just handcuffing the cap and how much you want him gone. Why didn’t a contender come get him this year when his salary was still at 16M? 

Yeah tag and trades are actually pretty rare and there's a specific set of circumstances that have to be in place for them to really be viable.  The posters on this site make it seem easier and more obvious than it really is.  The team applying the franchise tag has the least leverage of all the parties involved.

I was screaming at the time for Fitt to trade him for 2 firsts and a second. Deal of a lifetime. Now we have an OLB who wants more money than he's worth, and he has that idea because of FItt. It was Fitt who refused the trade and made the statement that he was a cornerstone of our defense. Well he sure is sh!t is NOT that important to our defense AND he wants a mega deal. Fitt you idiot.

6th in pass rush win rate this season. His stats look bad because teams didn't throw much because of the teams limited offensive production.  

He had his highest run defense grade this season and was average at it. [67-68 grade] 

Coverage numbers were really good as well. 

Pass rush statistically speaking He was one of the best in the NFL this season but only had 170 pass rush opportunities. (Meaning using advanced stats) Going off that and Compared to everyone not named Parsons, the average pass rush opportunities was over 300.

I’m drunk..you’re actually probably right. I’m in a glass half full mode. Honestly, we will probably get. 3rd an 4th for him

I don't want Burns traded for peanuts now. Now we're f-ing keeping him. He's staying, and Fitt you had better make a good deal. You must have had a plan when you refused the Rams, so execute your plan and make a good deal for the team. That or I don't ever want to hear anything Fitt has to say about anything. Ban his comments from the huddle.

      I am really sorry  that  happened to you they say to never meet your sports heroes i have friends who met  mickey mantle when they were young and he was a belligerent alcoholic at the time  ut broke their hearts  I had the opportunity to meet and spend  time with Cam Newton.     He was the polar opposite of Steve Smith and his public image.   Polite.  Honest when asked question.  You could tell the things that mattered to him and the things that  didnt. The disappointments in himself and the things that hurt him  those qualities make him quite a good interviewer too  i genuinely liked him   Im sure as young, rich, sports hero, he has not been a choir boy but there is goodness in him  the time i met him i took one of my friends with me from the west coast. She said she didn't like him and wasn’t enthusiastic about meeting him.  She left loving him   No one can say anything bad about ‘her Cam’ anymore

      So, after Sunday's game does that mean we're stuck with Bryce for the foreseeable future?

      Agree about oline. They've tried their best to improve that area. But honestly, has it looked like the most expensive oline in the NFL to you? Not just with Bryce. With Dalton's one game where they almost got the old man killed.  Also YAC shouldn't always be hitting a guy in stride while he's running full speed. Pickens killed us after the catch and those weren't all hit-in-stride plays. I remember a play in Miami when a guy caught a 5 yards curl and took it like 30-40 yards to the house. We don't have that in Carolina. Horn might be the closest thing to that but he can't get significant PT for whatever reason. If Bryce keeps trusting his receivers to make plays, I think he'll become more consistent. Seemed like he only trusted TMac. And force feeding one receiver isn't sustainable. Defenses will start to blanket him and take him out of the game. And yeah, keep taking deep shots. I hate all that dink and dunk football. Hate it.

      Dan Marino sucked too I guess. Washed up Elway carried by Terrell Davis was actually better than prine Elway. Lol
