Thielen traded

[rodeo]

We got Greg Olsen for a 3rd, trading a 50 year old for a 4th is a steal.

Coker was the target in clutch situations late last year.

Yeah, I still don't understand how he was rated #1 QB in that draft to this day. 

Below avg arm strength 

Way below avg size

avg athleticism 

Happy feet 

High sack and pressure rate %'s. 

 

I mean I get that everyone makes mistakes, I was high on AR... lmfao and facepalm. 

 

But it's so egregious that it's laughable. 

full disclosure, I wanted Stroud initially but I'm not sure he ends up any better than Young. That was a crappy year to be QB desperate.

Let's say you have 1 car.  It has a bunch of miles but it still runs.  Its not worth much but you need a car to get to work, go to the grocery store, etc.  Someone offers you 200 dollars for the car, which is more than anyone else will offer you.  Is that then a deal you would take?

But you don't have just one car.  You pay someone to pick cars for you and you have two new ones that were advertised as top of the line plus a couple others you bought for value.  If that 200 dollar car is the only one you can rely on then you need to pay someone else to pick cars for you.

vikes pickup his $7mil this year too.

this is a solid deal and it's time bryce leaves the thielen nest and spread his wings. I remember we got rid of smith as well so Cam could take up more of the leadership role.  Theilen served his purpose as a dependable vet to help the young QB but it's year 3 now. time for the next step.

 

got mid teir draft picks and more $$$ for a 34 year old injury prone wr. this is a win.

Funny, I got the exact same vibe as the Smitty trade. It's time to get rid of ole reliable and force Bryce to go through his progressions, take deep shots, and not just defaulting to the easy option of finding the guy who's definitely open for a 5-yard gain.

For a 35 year old receiver on his last year, we got a really good deal. Remember, Dan Morgan has been hitting in the 4th/5th rounds the past two years. Id rather upgrade two picks than have AT catch 40 balls, play 10 games, and still miss the playoffs. Good value.

Thank you AT for your time here!

I could have told you that before this trade. They've been hinting all off-season that this isn't the year for playoffs 

Anyone with two eyes and a pulse knows that this team isn't going anywhere this season. If not they better open their eyes.

Smitty got released because he was a dick to Cam because he was an older vet and didn't have the patience or time to wait for cam to develop

It's crazy what can transpire in only a months time

They managed to unload his contract and that's a win in itself.  The pick swaps are miniscule in value to either side. How it effects the offense is yet to be seen. My only concern is that he had the surest hands of all the receivers on the team. That's not easy to replace. 

I'm not upset at all for the compensation we got for AT. 

We did just ship off our vest pass catcher, and the vet we had in the room.  I know many will dismiss a vets value to the youngsters,  but I won't be hearing their weak arguments.

That too but Smith will tell you that he wasn't nice to Cam... Shoot he even said it out loud for his NFL smack talker video a few years back.

Dan Morgan is just more of the same, we get fleeced once again and our poor leadership thinks they won something.

Probably. How many trades have the Panthers won the last five years? One?

Well, we did get those two first round picks for Burns - - umm never mind.
