We didn't even sell anyone besides Burns, just let a bunch of dudes walk instead of at least trying to get some kinda of compensation for them. Usually teams try to accrue as much draft capital as possible even if it's 7ths or conditional picks. Morgan seems like he gave up before even trying on most these guys. And then I don't think you shell out $20M a year to a guard with hamstring issues if you're doing a true rebuild. 

The reason they were cut and not traded is because they weren’t worth what they were making. Why would a team trade a 7th round pick to take on a bad contract like Bozeman’s? I’m not sure I understand why you would think Morgan would cut guys if he could trade them instead.

Luvu is the only guy I hate losing. The rest I am okay with. This was not something that was going to be a quick turnaround. I’m not going to judge until the end of the offseason. Realistically, I can’t judge until 2-3 years down the road.

Agree. But if they replace him with Queen, then I'm not too mad about that anymore.

So you are saying we should have given them contracts and then traded them away to accrue dead cap?... Contracts that outside of Luvu, I wouldn't want our front office to offer...

not overreacting, this is the BS pretty much every panthers called out when the bad decisions and moves were being made. except even worse than worst case scenarios

We are paying, what we are paying, and getting the returns of trades because of the position we were put in 4 years ago.

The return on Burns sucks but going all in on the o-line makes sense to me. If that group's finally strong then next season is our definitive look at what Young is capable of. If he continues to struggle then we've already rolled out of the red carpet for his replacement. 

The defense has been thoroughly gutted though and that worries me.

Honestly, this is what should have happened 4 years ago. Sell everyone and just start over. You have Ron Fat Fhule and Frank hold overs and y’all weren’t winning. Gut this thing and completely rebuild like the 95 Panthers. 
 

 

Yep burn it down, I just now saw they moved Burns... I was busy betting on everything under the sun 🤣 didn't sleep though so I should probably lay off while I'm up 4k.

I defended not trading burns at the time because I figured a deal was imminent and he was the only pass rusher we had.

The moment Fitterrer balked at signing him to a long term deal we were fucked. Not trading him only boosted his asking price, which the FO should have realized, so when Burns asked to be paid like a player worthy of two firsts and a second round pick we of course didn't think he was worth that money?

In what world does that make sense?

and I will contend to this day, there is no player in the nfl that isnt a qb that you dont accept that offer for.  2 firsts and a second and anyone gets traded.   Ive watched football for far to long to know that a player can simply fall off a cliff at any moment.  That type of draft capital, if parlayed correctly, can set your team up for a long time

      An analysis of Brooks from The Fantasy Footballers provides possible insight as to why he's worth the price paid

      By TD alt · Posted

      Sometimes you get very valuable information from fantasy football sites. I found an analysis that you may want to read from The Fantasy Footballers. Perhaps you'll gain an insight as to why we moved up and got him. As always, here are a few snippets: "As expected, he dominated in the 2023 season. He averaged an impressive 2.03 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play, which ranks in the 86th percentile among all junior seasons since 2013." "Naturally, after initially playing behind two NFL-caliber running backs, Brooks’ career numbers do not jump off the page. However, his 2023 campaign gave us a glimpse of just how massive his upside could be at the next level. In fact, Brooks is one of only TWO running backs in this class to exceed 2.00 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play within their first three seasons in college."  "If you watch Jonathon Brooks’ film, you will find multiple plays in which he created yardage with his quick feet and lateral agility. He is elusive in open spaces and has an impressive ability to stack multiple cuts to avoid contact. Combined with his impressive burst and acceleration, Brooks can be a matchup nightmare in the second and third levels of the defense." "While Brooks is not the most physical running back, he does have a knack for absorbing contact and bouncing off defenders. You see this time and time again in his film." "He showcased a willingness to initiate contact with the pass rusher, the strength to maintain blocks, and the quickness to adjust to the defender’s moves. In addition, per PFF, Brooks was a top-three running back in the 2024 class in pass-blocking grade last season. He was also one of only two running backs in the class to average a 0% pass block pressure rate, highlighting just how effective he was as a blocker." "In short, Brooks has tremendous upside as a prospect. Even with his ACL injury, I would still be comfortable drafting him in the early second round of rookie drafts. In fact, I would not be shocked if he finished his career as the most productive running back in this class. However, we just need to temper our expectations for his rookie year as he slowly ramps up to full health." Marvin Elequin provides more here (including video clips): https://www.thefantasyfootballers.com/dynasty/2024-rookie-profile-rb-jonathon-brooks-fantasy-football/   Basically, Brooks has the potential to be a beast, and was well worth the 46th pick (and most mocks had him going mid second round anyway). He's not JAG. Someone had to make the move and take him, and we were the ones to do it. He's elusive, has good speed and acceleration, exceptional contact balance, and is an outstanding blocker. Just like any nice RB transitioning to the league, he will need to get used to taking what the defense gives him, while also showing discriminating patience, but he has demonstrated some ability on that front in college. Brooks' only real knock is the ACL. But ACLs aren't career ending anymore, or even skill ending as evidenced by Dalvin Cook, Todd Gurley and others. We'll just need to temper our expectations during his rookie campaign while he gets back to form. Once he does, we'll finally have the talented three-down back that has eluded us since Stew retired.

      2024 Who would you have picked

      By R0CKnR0LLA · Posted

      2.43 : Jackson Powers-Johnson, C, Oregon 2.52 : Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas 3.65 : Junior Colson, LB, Michigan 3.79 : Blake Corum, RB, Michigan 4.101 : Ja'Tavion Sanders, TE, Texas 😎 5.141 : Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, C, Georgia 5.142 : Austin Booker, Edge, Kansas 5.155 : Christian Jones, OT, Texas Note, I traded down from 33 (took the Arizona/Atlanta trade up to 35 - might have actually been able to net an even better deal but whatever, I'll go with this). Took the Rams trade but stayed put at 52 and at the top of the 3rd.
