I was at the Greenbriar in (by god) WV this weekend. My wife and I were in the casino getting ready to cash out when i noticed the person in front of me in the line was Mike Shanahan. Of course my wife was ecstatic(redskins fan) but he asked what our names where and I of course let him know I was a panthers fan. He said I should be real happy where the franchise was is headed ( and I am ) and stated that Cam changed the way he viewed quarter backs.

I then asked him if he thought he gave up too much to move up to pick RGII and that I thought he did. He paused and answered, "would you have gave that much up for Cam", i said "knowing what I know now yes but we didn't have to and nobody at the time even knew how well he would transition to the nfl". he replied "I think he handled that really well." he said he thought RGII had a lot of the same skill set as Cam and is excited." I then said " but two firsts and a second round pick?" He said "Well you have to have a franchise quarter back and I'm sure you understand that" (smart ass) He said "they did their home work and he thinks it will work out but if it didn't it would set their franchise back 10 years". I was cordial and shook his hand and wished him luck...

Anyway, just a tid bit of personal first hand information...

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Icege · Posted

      WR: Nico, Woods, Tank (R) TE: Schultz OL: Tunsil/Howard/Deiter/Mason/Fant vs. WR: Chark, Thielen, Mingo (R) TE: Hurst OL: Icky/Zavala (R)/Bozeman/Jensen (R)/Moton   Panthers' had the better OL before losing BC week 1 and AC week 4 which is kind of ironic considering how in the following year DB went down in W1 and Shaq in W4 resulting in the defense going all to Hell. CJ has done amazing in Houston, but he also wasn't asked to carry Zavala, Jensen, Mingo, Hurst, and Chark as a rookie.

      Past 5 seasons, IMO CJ Stroud and Joe Burrow are the 2 best young QBs that have emerged in the league in that window.  They also didn’t need vets to be their primary pass catchers.  They helped fellow youngsters be great at WR.   almost all the other young QBs have been paired up with vets in their top options….and haven’t been as promising.  so it isn’t Madden.  But the league hasn’t played out as you suggest it does.   Good QBs make others around them better.

      In 2023 their roster wasn’t stacked. They nailed the poo out of the 2023 draft and since they knew Davis Mills wasn’t the guy, they tanked properly to get pick 2. They also took Cleveland’s ridiculous offer for Watson unlike us with Burns. Houston received enough draft capital to jump up to 3 while picking up the right guys in Anderson and Stroud. The Texans were not stacked or better than us in 2023. They had 11 total wins from 2020 to 2022. They didn’t have a terrible front office so they made sure they got their QB of the future while tanking well and getting more draft picks. They are a textbook study of what we should have done in 2022/2023 offseason even though people in here still think tanking is a bad word and our culture would be bad if we were the Texans. We literally had the chance to be the Texans right now and fuged it up.
