...that we made it out of this year's draft without giving up any future picks? :D

Not sure if it's been discussed yet, but I'm actually happy about it.

Granted, once the CBA is on we could still trade future picks for players, but In the future I'm hoping to see more stockpiling than trading away.

A third wouldn't astonish me but anything higher would blow me away... I was expecting a 4th.

Heck ya I noticed, and was very pleased about it. No silly trading up to give Belacheat more damn picks... just a clean draft.

man that was a welcome relief. but I'm beginning to wonder if his "genius" is starting to wear thin. It seems all they do is trade picks. At some point they need to rebuild their team a bit more, lol. Still a great coach that can do wonders with people though.

I was afraid we might trade away something next season to get into the 2nd.

Speaking of Belicheck, they haven't won a playoff game since 2007. The Patriots have the best quarterback, the supposed best coach and after the regular season success they have struggled the past few years winning a playoff game.

Honestly I think they have struggled to fix the defense especially getting pressure on the quarterback. For all their greatness, they have been outdone by the Jets recently.

Hopefully it's a sign of things to come never liked giving up future picks.

As far as Smitty I don't think we'll get the winning end out of that trade regardless where he goes which is another reason I hope he stays.

I have a hard time seeing that.

Rumor is we had offer of a 3/4th this year and a conditional pick in 2012 on the table.

Not a bad deal.

Rumor also is 5+ teams want him so a bidding war is possible.

as long as we didn't trade next year's first....with the lockout, I could see another adjustment year in terms of qb play considering there won't be much time learning Chud's new offense

Also I think we need to add: Cofield, a vet corner, resign our core players (extend Beason), and a vet wide-out if Smitty is traded

I know its unlikely but I would extremely interested if the Chargers wanted to give us V-Jax for Smitty and a pick

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
