If they weren't such an historic franchise, they'd be one of the teams I'd love to see get folded.

thats what i dont get...for a team rich in history like theirs you would think they would go all out

they are sh1tting on their fans....whatever they have left anyways

I actually like the Wilson trade and the direction they are headed. Previous front office absolutely ripped the minor league system bare. They are building in the right direction. Wilson is a great defensive SS but no bat. Ian Snell has been a head case for the last 2 yrs. Basically telling pitching coaches that he would not listen to them for any reason at all. They will finish ubder 500 again this year but if they keep doing what they are doing will be competitive in 2-3 yrs. You heard it from me first.

I love looking at what their team would have been had they not made all these trades.

Bay-McClouth-Nady

Ramirez-Wilson-Sanchez-LaRoche

Put those 8 guys out there everyday and your team is a playoff contender.

Wrong. You aren't a playoff contender with Zach Duke and Ian Snell and Paul Maholm as your 1-2-3

Who is Ramirez???

    • Things like this happen everyday. We live in a social media driven society where loyalty is a foreign concept.
    • If you draft a guy who is healthy and has no concerns about that whatsoever and he goes out and tears his ACL in his first few games in the regular season on a physical play that's a freak accident. But when you trade up to draft an RB who is already rehabbing from a recent ACL tear and he spends the next several months continuing his rehab only to tear the same ACL again after less than a handful of regular season carries in a non contact circumstance that is no freak accident. That is a textbook example of why you do not do what we did. Particularly for what is now a plug and play position. And when you have the highest paid OL in the league over the next two years. None of that makes any logical sense. Legitimately it is and was some Scott Fitterer type foolishness. Now as for XL. The guy has not been committed to his craft. I think anyone with eyes on the situation can and would recognize that. However the warning signs were there. One season of legit production raw prospect that we knew would take time to develop etc. But Morgan and Bryce Young's own father were very high on him. I think in some capacity the reality of our limitation at QB is entering into the equation. Even TMac got a lot of flak over the course of his rookie season for not being able to haul in all of Bryce's passes. At the end of the day our fourth year QB also needs to do his part to maximize the talent we have available. As far as this year. Again. WR round 1 boils down to where are we going to get the touches for the rookie? That would require eating into not only our 8th overall picks touches but also our #2 WR whom oh yeah by the way was UNDRAFTED. I am happy to discuss WR prospects here. I was thrilled we invested what we did last year in TMac because it needed to be done and it made sense from all angles. But nowhere is it written in stone that you cannot draft a good or great WR outside of the first round. Except in the Panthers building apparently. That is not a good reflection on our scouts and front office let me tell ya. Because there's no way on this earth we are going to get back to relevancy and legitimate contender status if we can't pick some gems in the later rounds. Simple and plain.
    • This is pretty accurate our offense needs more juice. I love Cooker but he’s not enough XL ummm we’ll see this year hopefully the third year WR thing hits him and he plays better but still not enough. Honestly we need look at the Eagles they just adds Wicks and Hollywood Brown to that core. That shows the level of talent needed to compete at a championship level this coming season. And this below is the real problem KC doesn’t seem to add that much to our offense. We Makai Lemon or defense at 19
