Panthers turned down multiple firsts for Burns awhile back just to get dookie now.

I don't think they win a single game next year.

Scott Fitterer is the worst GM in league history. Not even exaggerating. Traded C-MAC. Traded Moore. Didn't trade Burns. Signed a bunch of bad FA's. Traded a ton for Bryce. Didn't give Baker another season.

Luvu is going to the Commanders too. Bell cut. Jackson cut.

Do we have a 1st round pick next draft? Or did we trade that for Bryce too.

Giants screwed themselves too. Paying Burns more money than TJ Watt makes is wild.

Even though we're taking Ls like crazy this season, the Hornets are in such a better situation than the Panthers right now. Pretty happy with the fact that the old Hornets FO didn't leave the new FO with an asset deficit that we have to dig out of.

At least they signed 2 really good guards. So Bryce may not have to run for his life this season.

Much easier to turn things around in football. After today I feel way, way better about where the Panthers are headed.

What Dan Fitterer did to the Panthers in his time with the organization has to go down as one of the all-time absolute worst train wrecks in the history of the sport.

Is Dan Fitterer the brother of former Panthers GM Scott Fitterer?

I didn't like that we hired Morgan as GM. Shouldn't have been an in house promotion, he played a role in how we got this way too.

Bryce is going to be a star. Will be top 3 QB in the league within next 3 years.

at least they spent big money on the o-line

its hilarious to see the cumulative summary of picks + moore, we traded away for bryce, or could have had for burns last year that we turned down, for a one year rental of burns & bryce at qb. its astonishing.
that doesn't even include all the picks we gave away for darnold, coral and baker or the paltry return for cmc

Teddy Bridgewater too. We've gone through more starting QB's with Tepper than the rest of the franchise history probably.

They talk Evero into staying on to be the DC then they proceed to let 4 starters go lol. Granted I've been tired of Jackson for a while now.

Anyone here from the DC/Baltimore area?

Hopefully nobody on RealGM was stuck on that bridge.

On a side note, Nathan Soliman scored 18 pts at 14 (yes, he's geting 15 in may) in 25mn in the third division pro basketball in France...
Right now, he's 6.6 (without shoes) and playing as a wing, but as thin as he is, he is able to finish through contact already.
At this age things can change quite a lot (esp. if he keeps growing) but the talent is probably as huge as what Victor was showing at the same age (not comparing the players though, Victor was playing as a big at an early age).

If he is available, he should be playing the FIba U17 this year. And hopefully kick Diop's Aussies team in finale (after beating the US squad in semi finale) :lol:

Maybe Bubble Boy Melo will finally be available to play when that kid becomes draft eligible.
