Talk about worst Panther deals ever?

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.

I have no idea what the hell you just said but rep for you.

    • I said could, not would. I recognize he has potential based on past performance. Compared to what KP has done, Howell has more potential and the physical traits to make noise. KP has small hands and a weak arm. Not something you want in even your backup QB.  I've been hammering since last off-season before we re-signed Dalton, improve the room. Other than getting younger, I don't see how anyone can say we legitimately improved the room or even tried. We might as well have signed Josh Rosen.  Dalton is still on the roster for now. That's 3 QBs unless we trade or cut him. He's still Bryce's mentor after all. Do you believe we are going to draft someone with potential and give them a legitimate opportunity to develop from the practice squad? Are we going to carry 3 QBs on the active roster? 4 for a developmental rookie? Are we going to potentially cut KP if we draft a rookie and he's outperformed? Doubtful. Cutting Dalton(if we can't trade him) and KP would be 8m in wasted cap space.  I chose Howell as an example because he showed promise in his only full season as a starter. You could plug in another name with the physical traits and potential and what i said would still apply. KP showed almost nothing and was benched. I genuinely don't care if it’s rookie pick as long as there is the potential to develop into a future NFL QB.  As much as I can't stand him, Bellichek was always developing a number 2 QB even with the GOAT as his starter. The wisdom of that was evident when Cassell came in when Brady was hurt week 1 and went 11-5 and almost made the wildcard, which 11-5 gets you almost any other year. I give credit where it's due though. Cassel and Jimmy G both came into the league as developmental QBs, potential QB1s, and went on to have careers.  You never know if you never try. KP feels like a punt in addressing the most important position on the field. Bryce has never played 2 full games of franchise QB level football back to back.  If Bryce progresses, are you ready to offer a 280m 5 year extension based off a one hit wonder year? If Bryce regresses and we need a QB in 27, are we going to trade a fortune away again to trade up to 1 to get one? Are you ready to do the past 3 years all over again?  To me, it's not about Kenny Pickett. It's about the move itself. It was a feeble attempt to improve the QB room. We better hope Bryce succeeds, because if he doesn't, we literally have no backup plan right now.   
    • IOL that early isn’t good value at all. We have a LT who might not ever be good again and a RT that might retire soon. T seems deep early in this draft, so I’d go there in the 1st. 
    • Season tickets aren't affordable anymore definitely when they've been so bad for 8 years before last season. When I started going my seats were front row uppers for like 38 bucks. Those seats are 100 dollars now. Teams make their money from tv, if I was an owner my goal would be to break even on tickets and concessions.
