Grab Clowney or Young and grab Chop Robinson at 33. Xavier Leggette at 39. 

Brown-Tuttle-Robinson 

Chop-Jewell-Thompson-Clowney

Vs. 

Brown-Tuttle-Williams

Burns-Kamu-Luvu-Houston 

Run defense upgraded...a drop off in pass rush but we'd still get pressure.

No team/owner/headcoach/player will EVER go into a new season with the intention to "tank".  There is just too much at stake.  Will an owner be happy if attendance at games goes in a downward spiral if the team doesn't perform? NO! Will players be happy if their value goes down if they are not put in a postion to shine? NO! How about the coach(es)? Do you think they'd be happy with a dismal season? NO!   WE WERE NOT PLANNING ON TANKING AT ANY POINT....

It’s happened tons of times before. Also, why do people equate tanking with players and coaches? The GM/FO control a tank. Trading Burns for a 2nd and 5th is basically a tank. If you aren’t rebuilding and trying to win, you fit him into the cap which was easy to do. We turned down a huge package for him a year and a half ago and now we give him away for pennies on the dollar.

One more note, lol at “happy with a dismal season.” Have you been around the Panthers after 2017?

I do not get why it is tanking if you refuse to pay a player $30m after an 8-9 sack season.  Do you keep him for $24m when he has already said he plays for the payday?  Now, if you get your heads out of the tunnel for a minute, and think, "How much is this going to cost you moving forward?  Do you think other agents and players would not see that as weakness?"  Morgan had to make a statement, and Morgan is a dawg.  Keep a player who announced, "I was half assing it for a good contract" and let that guy wear a "C" on his chest and set the example for others?  I think we were inept and caused Burns' public statement, but when you say words in microphones or vent in social media, there is a record and it cannot be taken back.

The more I think about it, the more I see why Morgan did what he did.  Sure, the deal sucked, but ever since then, Morgan has been solid.

I do not want Clowney on the roster for the same reason.  I do not want Chase--if a player with their skills and gifts become journeymen, understand that people who had them under contract got rid of them. 

Give me the other Gamecock and Chase can go chase his tail elsewhere.

Him and Chase Young so they can underachieve together but collectively make for one really good player (sometimes).

When I think about it: couldn't possibly be any more frustrating than seeing Burns play every Sunday. 

Of course having two underperforming Youngs might give me nightmares (despite Clowney). We'd never get a break on offense or defense.

Truth is you need to compete each year to the best of your ability if you don't want to get even worse as all your players jump ship. So you have to have a mix of vets and young guys to learn from the Vets. So do you need good vets on 1 or 2 year deals to be competitive and show the young guys the ropes? Absolutely. Andy Dalton was brought in specifically to mentor Young not be a long term solution. I would think Clowney would be as well. Bring in young guys like Young or draft picks for the long haul. I heard Clowney had some dog in him. I know he was bit by a dog early in his career. Maybe they can both resurrect their careers here. If anyone can motivate them it is Evero.

      https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2024/06/bruins-hurricanes-could-swap-linus-ullmark-and-martin-necas.html The Boston Bruins are continuing to garner more and more interest for their former Vezina Trophy-winning goaltender Linus Ullmark, giving them a chance to be picky about the return. That could exclude much of the league from acquiring the star netminder, with Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman sharing on The Jeff Marek Show that he doesn’t believe teams like the Vancouver Canucks or Montreal Canadiens have the assets to acquire Ullmark. Friedman added that the Carolina Hurricanes could be one of the few teams rich enough for the deal, especially if they involve forward Martin Necas. https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/carolina-hurricanes Expect the Maple Leafs and Predators to be two of the top suitors for Hurricanes defenseman Brett Pesce if he hits the open market next month, The Fourth Period’s David Pagnotta reports.

      Another Bryce breakdown

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      They do, just when. I hate to be pessimistic but it’s all about the QB. I can’t recall a QB situation where a bad QB (not bad stats, but looking like they don’t belong) turned a team around. Peyton Manning had a ridiculous amount of interceptions but he didn’t show his future limitations. Usually, it was picking another QB in the draft. Unfortunately, IMHO, we won’t be really better until we get our Cam v2, someone who can carry the team and not win only if we have a stud lineup around him. That’s why I’m more interested in how the rest of the draft picks do to see if we can actually solve holes like the ones we created losing Olsen, CMC, Moore, Turner/Kalil/Norwell, etc. I want to actually be one QB away not Fitterer’s definition of one player away.

      How to list & hopefully sell PSLs plus season tickets

      I will say once you have been in newer arenas and stadiums with their way better bathroom set-ups, it is such a massive improvement. It clears up a lot of insane lines just waiting around to piss.  I have taken to not drinking at all at older stadiums just so I don't have to deal with planning when to take a piss and what part of the game I am gonna be forced to miss because of it. It's so nice to be in a new arena/stadium with way better bathroom accessibility that doesn't force you to literally miss the game. Not to mention I will actually spend money on booze there then.
