Remove Otah and you have a point. This trading next years pick for this year has bit us in the ass too many times. The Armanti trade will go down as Fox's biggest boneheaded move while he was still the coach. That is going to be a high second round pick we need badly.

If Armanti turns into a starting receiver is it a boneheaded pick?

Do you KNOW that he will? Do I KNOW he wont?

until then, it is an unknown.... not a boneheaded pick, yet.

I am all for judging picks and calling them good or bad, but lets judge players who have played for a few seasons before judging whether it was a good pick or bad.

If we spend a 1st round pick on a guy that's never played football in his life is that a bad pick? What about if eventually, through a couple years of development, he turns into a good player?

It's a bad trade/pick because AE is such a huge project and you just don't use the 33rd-35th overall pick on that big of a project. You just don't, regardless of how it ends up.

And I'm not anywhere near close to giving up on AE, I hope he works out.

If he turns out to be the next Steve Smith I will eat my words but from what I have seen he is going to take a while to develop. You don't trade away second round picks for a player that is going to take a while to contribute. For what we have given up we should have a starting player on the field right now. It was a boneheaded pick and 90% of the non Armanti homers on the board will agree. If he were taken in a later round with no picks given up then I could deal with that.

Just a difference in opinion... I am more of the 'wait and see before I criticize'.

Everyones different :)

I am too. Everyone on this board thinks they are an expert. In reality, no one knows anything. And the majority of the stuff on this board is wrong or don't come true. Hell the league taught Brad Smith how to play the position. Hines Ward too... In fact there is a list of guys that made the transition. So why come up here and bitch about the unknown?

Um, Hines Ward was always a receiver...

      Aiden Fisher

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      I was watching the game last night (actually 330am) and they brought up that Aiden Fisher calls out the plays the other team is running.  This of course reminded me of Luke.  I haven't followed Indiana football at all but I wonder that the Huddle thinks of him as a future Panther Linebacker Aiden Fisher's pro prospects are promising, with a strong track record of performance and potential for success in the NFL. His ability to read the game and make plays with precision, combined with his leadership and physicality, make him a valuable asset to any defense. Fisher's development at Indiana and his selection as a first-team All-Big Ten linebacker in 2024 further solidify his status as a top prospect for the 2026 NFL Draft   Thoughts?

      Brandon Beane vs Dan Morgan

      By HeelsPanthersCanes · Posted

      There is no doubt that winning on the field is the ultimate goal.  But not far behind that is winning off the field / in the board room / at the bank. Beane has been meticulous in betting on Josh Allen being able to put on the cape and taking a band of misfits to the playoffs every year.  That drives tickets, merch, concessions, TV shares, etc.  Which all put money into the owner's pockets.  The coach only controls what's on the field, and even then, it's mostly out of his hands minus time management as he doesn't throw, catch, run or kick for those 60 minutes.  My guess is Beane has made that owner a poo ton of money through contracts (or lack there of), and staying the course financially when it's easy to overspend to get over the hump.  That's why he's still there and McDermott isn't.  My guess is they will hire a non-splash candidate that commands middle of the pack money for a head coach, and Beane will once again point out to ownership how he saved them $4-$6M with this hire, and they still have Superman on their team.  New England has a first place schedule next year, and that's likely good for 2 additional losses, which would give them the same record as the Bills had this year. I knew McDermott was gone if they didn't reach the Superbowl.

      The coaching carousel

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      I heard it was him showing up in NE for his ring of honor ceremony and talking about how great the organization was and the Titans ownership felt a certain way about that. They also fired/mutually parted ways with Mike Mularky after he got them to the playoffs. So making the playoffs as the Titans coach is the kiss of death. They've ran off the last 2 to achieve that lofty goal.
