If we trade next years 2nd round pick

I agree, we need to keep our draft picks and pick up more young talent.

Once we have a solid defense and offense, and show that we can win and be competitive, then we can go after the skill positions that we require. Giving away more draft picks when the Panthers have too many unknowns at positions seems counter productive.

You are absolutely correct. Panthers are NOT going to the playoffs. Trading for a player will hurt the long term success of the franchise.

Right now we are likely to win 4-5 games. If we trade a second rd pick and get a player that helps us win 6-7 instead, not only did we give up the 2nd rd pick, but drop in the 1st rd and all other rounds from a possible top 5 pick to a pick in the 12-15 range. It costs more than just that pick.

I would rather play the young players, develop them, win 4-5 games, and get more good young players next year to add to the rebuilding process. Most successful rebuilding franchises take several years to become great. Colts, Chargers, Steelers, and Patriots did not get great after just 1 season. It takes time to accumulate talent.

    • There is a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between your opinion and the opinions of most former player hockey guys who do this for a living.
    • I can only imagine the **** eating grins on the committee right now. "Oh, Bama didn't deserve it? Oh, Miami didn't deserve it? Suck it, haters!" lol
    • To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset.
