      34
    • Team B's 2010 1st rounder + 2010 2nd rounder

Although according to the trade charts a 1st next year ='s a 2nd this year

they both have their perks. On one hand, you can cash in now and we could really use a first round talent on the defensive line. Plus that extra third will permit us to get an extra depth player.

...on the other hand, you double your amount of first day picks for next year. You basically do what I like to call "team stock investing". It basically means that, say it was the Browns that gave the second offer. Depending on how good or bad the Browns are in 2009 dictates how high or low the first rounder they gave to us will be. So we could conceivably be picking in the top 10 in 2010 with the chance to trade down and accumulate even more picks. Plus, this isn't really the deepest draft in overall talent this year anyway.

the real tradeoff is time. and that's why the trade charts say what they say.

Can't decide until we know which teams we are talking about. If it is Kansas City they may or may not be a top 10 pick next year but definitely are a number 3 pick this year. On the other hand a team like NE will be a a 23rd pick this year and likely a later pick next year. That would make a big difference. A 3 pick next year might be worth more than a number 23 pick this year.

Right now ths poll is lame without more specifics.

    • I feel the same way. Bryce hasn't proven himself to be so good that he would clearly lap anyone that we'd bring in the compete for the starting job. I think the team is actually afraid to do that. If Bryce goes down does anyone think Kenny Pickett is solid option to replace him?. We can control him for 2026 and 2027. The problem is 2028. Unless he takes a massive leap forward ability wise, I don't see how Carolina can justify paying B.Y. $50 million a year. So far, Bryce has not shown that he can CONSISTENTLY carry a team. He needs to be carried by a strong offensive line, running game, pass catchers and a respectable defense. If he's lacking any of those things I don't think we can make the playoffs in 2026/2027 unless the NFC South is as bad (or worse) than 2025. Unfortunately, athletes and agents have EGOs! When he has a chance for a 2nd contract his management team will probably insist on a "market deal" and feel insulted if they don't get one. That leaves a couple of options if his play hasn't significantly improved. 1) Let him walk and test the market. 2) Franchise him for the 2028 season if you're still not sure about what to do. 3) Extend him to a team friendly deal that pays him below the "current market" which would allow the team to continue to build a solid team to support him. 4) Over pay him and pretty much ruin any chance of becoming a consistent contender. The last option is the LEAST DESIRABLE ONE. The 2026 season is a pivotal season for Bryce and the Carolina Panthers. The success of the next 5-7 years could ultimately be decided on how well plays the next 2 seasons.  
    • Thank god BigKat can't buy it because I'd be gone immediately 
    • Drake Maye ended up putting almost 300 on them lol. Bryce was stunned from the beginning to end. I know that's an easy comp for the Bryce truthers but no one else put up those puny QB stats against them all season long.
