I feel like yes this place was heavy for the processor. You could not express doubt without catching a ton of scoffing and derision, and being told all about it. 

and yeah, I was totally against that trade. 1000%

You stay at your spot and be creative and be better than having to mortgage your future because you can’t get one any other way. 

 

Yeah, I know it wouldn't have been flashy, but take Jalen Carter continuing to establish a great defense and wait until this year or next where there were a host of good QBs.

Didn't think they should have traded up for a QB. Too many quesion marks at Oline and receiver. Trading DJ made it even worse.

After trading up, Richardson was the only one that made sense to me. Figured he could just make enough plays with his legs to win games. Say what you want, but the Huddle would have been dogging Stroud if he would have come here too. Just for different reasons. 

Including DJ in the trade package for a QB was idiotic. Yeah, let's mortgage the future on a QB and trade our only proven NFL WR in the process. Brilliant.

Especially when they could have traded Burns to the Bears instead.  And kept DJ....how many WR's have they brought in since they traded DJ and they still have not replaced him.

David Tepper was nuclear hot after a QB for years. Fitttererererer was forced to make that trade.

I sit here and can not believe the type of problems a DL with Dbrown and the the baby RINO would deal OLs. Plus they'd still have DJ Moore and his once cheap contract along with the draft picks. But screw that, make rather have the least talented team along with a lesser PJ walker leading them.....At least PJ would have tried to get better in the off-season.

My initial reaction to when we traded for the #1 pick was it's gotta be Stroud..............because in no way would we trade all of those draft picks to take a 5'10 QB. Then Josh McCown came out with that video of him comparing Stroud to Joe Burrow and I was all in. Then I rewatched him absolutely shred through Georgia's historic defense and I was all giddy. Then a month later, Bryce hype started catching steam. I then had to convince myself that I would be OK with either, but preferred CJ Stroud. I feel like the majority of the huddle was this way. In my memory, it was about 70/30 CJ vs Bryce initially, then it started trending the other way when the Tepper news came out that he really liked Bryce.

I might be in the minority here, but I kind of understand the trade.  The demand for QB1/pick 1 in that particular draft wasn't a crazy as others would have been (if they were even for sale).  You have to have a QB to compete consistently in this league.  DJ included in the trade was an issue, especially after trading Burns for a 2nd a year later.  Include Burns instead of DJ and signing a serviceable OLB/Edge in FA would have made more sense.  OL regression, no weapons, predictable play calling, Reich checking in and out of play calling duties etc all created a perfect storm last year.  Hindsight always helps.

It's not that trade I disliked. I also liked the trade even WITH including DJ. We made the right decision, we just made the wrong pick.

And yeah, it's crazy how this front office loved Burns so much that it passed on TWO 1st rounders from the Rams and also didn't want to include him in the trade with the Bears...........................only to not want to pay him right after lmao This franchise man, ran by a bunch of idiots, lead by the true dumbass mastermind himself David Tepper

the trade sucked, I wanted to just wait and see what happened once the draft started and someone always drops, then we traded and it had to be for stroud, damn I was wrong

 

would you rather have kept the 9 pick and got levis or are you taking the trade with young as we go into the 2024 season?

Ok what if we drafted Stroud at 1 and threw in Burns instead of DJ. Does the trade still suck? The results sucked, but the value of the trade wasn’t that bad IMO.

This is only news on here.  He was QB1 on most boards (some had Young/Stroud as QB1/QB2) and some people on here want to try to change history to make it appear Tepper forced some reach in us taking him.  It doesn't mean he was the right pick or will be the best QB in this class, but it is accurate.  Hell the Texans nearly moved up from 2 to get him.  

The amount of folks on here that choose to believe a hug from Nicole Tepper was the deciding factor is WILD.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
