we have a had a HIGH fifth round pick - this was way too much for Allen. Should have been one of the 7ths.

Obviously a 7th wasn't going to get it done.

Then get someone else. He wasn't the last backup QB in the world.

Nope, but he was who they wanted.

Haskins is so much better than Allen its not even funny. Stupid fucking trade. Only way he starts is if Rivera screws Haskins worse than Gruden.

Guess we will find out. Allen played pretty well in spots last year.

Calais Campbell was traded for a 5th

haha I don't even want Tua now, we need the picks. TRADE DOWN

The Panthers have 5 QBs on their roster. They likely would have cut Allen or Will Greir if we had just waited.

We should be. This is just fucking stupid.

This is why HCs can't be the general manager. Need a non biased professional GM.

dude .. its a 5th rounder for a 24 year old QB who has already played 12 games in the NFL and our new HC and OC seem to like.

if it was a 6th, everyone would be fine with it.

give RR a little more patience and leway then immediately condemning him.

its a 5th rounder ffs. good lord

besides we do have a GM in Smith

I want Kyle Smith to be the GM but this year he isn't and Rivera has the last word on the roster.

We now don't have a 2nd a 5th or 6th rounder and we have lots of holes.

And he only has this year on his contract. He can walk after this year.

We don't have the draft capital to use a 5th rounder.

Hate the trade. Its nothing against the player himself. Just doesn't make sense to me.

I understand.

Think of it this way.

2 hours ago we had a "back up QB" hole. And now weve plugged that hole with someone who can help bring Haskins up to speed faster .. and it only took a 5th at 585K cap hit.

I wouldnt get so upset with what we did with a 5th rounder to condemn RR as an idiot or needing his decision making power completely stripped.
