Freeling pick has nothing to do with the trade. Rams gave up a future first not the first they gave up to draft the QB. Not sure why the QB matters at all for the Garrett trade discussion. Whether you like Simpson or Freeling is meaningless to the topic at hand.

I was responding to a post that specifically mentioned Freeling.
 

The Rams pick is relevant to their off-season as a whole and is noteworthy because it is anti win now which these other moves are.
Go gatekeep somebody else.

So you hate everything they're currently doing but are defending Fitterer?

who's defending fitterer? im explaining why he would have turned the deal down. no reason for a GM to tank when its for picks you won't be around to use.

I get you..you'd just think that engineering one of the best trade hauls ever might have helped his job security or at least his resume instead of looking like a dope for turning it down and then not being able to sign Burns.

In 2021 the Panthers were 15th in sacks in 2022 when this trade offer was supposedly made we were 25th and by 2023 we were dead last in the entire league.

By comparison our offensive output was 30th in 2021 29th in 2022 and 32nd in 2023.

Simultaneously in 2021 we had given up the 5th most sacks in the league. And by 2023 we had given up the 3rd most sacks.

As much as people can rightfully say Fitterer was atrocious beyond words as a GM and talk about how much they wanted those picks. For one thing we were anywhere from awful to mediocre at best in drafting. And for two. No one actually wanted to wait around with the worst pass rush in the entire league and a bottom 3 passing offense paired with one of the worst offensive lines in the meantime. Either way you cut it with or without those picks at that time under that plethora of additional circumstances we weren't going to accomplish anything meaningful anytime soon.
