I know the Gilbert thing was awful, but what were the details of the trade ect. What are the worst deals the panthers have made in history?

To give up 2 1st rounders and pay him the money makes Gilbert the worst trade we've ever made. Second would be trading for Bruce Smith, who's knees were completely shot...

I think you mean Chuck Smith. And I think we signed him as a FA when Seifert was here. And I agree, it was the 2nd worse move (also the dumbest) the Panthers ever made.

The trade that we used to get Otah was very lopsided. We got great value and a great player once we had the pick, but the pick-for-pick trade itself was pretty bad.

Compare, using the Trade Value Chart as reference.

We gave up: 2009 1st (#28) + 2008 2nd (#43) + 2008 4th (#109)

. . Total value: 660 + 470 + 76 = 1206

We got in return: 2008 1st (#19)

. . Total value: 875

That's a 38% markup over what that #19 pick is really worth. I know future picks lose some value, and I didn't factor that in, but even so we lost out on this one. Also, notice our 1st in 2009 was #28. If that pick had been an early 1st rounder, the value we lose goes through the roof.

The trade we made with the 49ers this year was much better. Trading a future 1st comes with the same risk as before (potentially giving up a top 10 pick) but let's assume our future 1st will be at the exact same spot for comparison.

We gave up: 2010 1st (#28)

. . Total value: 660

We got in return: 2009 2nd (#43) + 2009 4th (#111)

. . Total value: 470 + 72 = 542

That's a 22% markup over the actual value and we are only giving up future picks, none from the current year. If we end up with the #32 pick next year (let's all hope) the trade would be almost exactly equal, which is unheard of when you're trading future picks away. That's before you factor in that Brown is a top 15 talent by most accounts.

So, at least it looks like Hurney and company have improved their negotiating skills.

      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.
