  • The WR we traded to the Bears had 96 catches and over 1300 yards--considered a Pro Bowl snub
  • The QB we did not take last year in the draft was in the Pro Bowl
  • The RB we traded is the NFL Offensive Player of the year.
  • The QB we let go to Tampa Bay to draft Bryce Young was in the 2024 Pro Bowl.

 

Basically, to swap picks with the Bears for Bryce Young, it cost us a 100 reception, 1350 yard WR in DJ Moore,  QB Caleb Williams (in all likelihood), OT Darnell Wright, Gervin Dexter DL, and a second rounder in 2025 .

For CMC, we got WR Jonathan Mingo, Edge DJ Johnson, and G Chandler Zavala and a 2024 5th rounder

Tell me something I don't know 😕 

Did you know...

The Panthers are in the same position as the 1979 49ers were when no coach wanted to work for their ownership & they went with a 1 year NFL OC with NFL QB success including rehabbing the career of a #1 pick QB in Jim Plunkett (went on to win the SB) who the 49ers tossed away for a rookie QB 1 year prior.

Steve Spurrier (#3) & Jim Plunkett (#1) were their failed 1st round QB projects they traded away the franchise for to eventually go with Walsh to fix a struggling rookie Steve DeBerg going into his second season.

That's our hope. Now, Canales just needs to draft a 3rd/4th round QB to develop behind a struggling 2nd year QB he is tasked to resurrect. Trade Young after replacing him late in the 2025 season with our new Joe Montana.

Dynasty built! That's our hope during these dark times. Blueprint for success?

Don't forget the cost of Sam Darnold trade, too. We gave up a 2021 sixth rounder and second and fourth round picks in 2022. Darnold will be the back up QB for the 49ers in this year's Super Bowl and could end up with a Super Bowl ring. 

Man, it was just a massive pile of giveaways for nothing.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
