Players out of the loop for months (check)

New scheme/ New staff (check)

Void of vet presence at key positions (check)

Chance to loss major contributors (check)

1 week FA period before camp (check)

Rushed Training Camp (check)

Lack of OTA's to get system in place (check)

These upcoming preseason games are going to be garbage.

Honestly we won't see anything of substance from our guys till week 8.

Granted many other teams are in the same boat.

AND we do have talent for success in the future.

Honestly it's a danger to the players.

I think they should cancel at least the first week of preseason.

Luckily and Sadly it will be scrubs out there for the first couple games, while the starters get practice reps.

BUT! this is the start of a new era for us.

i know but at least this year we'll watch a team starting anew with young players that will become key contributors eventually instead of watching a team regressing with old players way past their prime that should retire like we saw in 2006, 2007 and 2009, or watching john fox's 1000 yard stare on the sidelines like we've seen more and more ever since the seattle nfcc game.

as long as i know we're rebuilding, i'm okay with some growing pains

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
