Love you too, shnookums. Think about me in a few years when you wish we weren’t paying a QB 25-30% of our cap so we could resign young talent and acquire free agents.

Because he wasn’t Mahomes or Watson and Nagy is a terrible offensive coordinator. He’s not perfect, but for the cheap contract he’ll likely sign, he’s about as good an option as we’ll have without selling the farm.

Why wasn’t the defense carrying them to the playoffs when Foles was the QB?

My opinion: -Trubisky was very green coming into the league -He was always going to play his best ball on his second contract due to that -He has ~10 more college + NFL starts in his career than ROOKIE Justin Herbert last year. -Look at his stats over the course of last year. He’s still improving which is a good sign. -Chicago sold out on defense and left little in the cupboard for Trubisky on O. -He’d be CHEAP and I’d bet a top 10-15 QB over the course of his next contract in the right situation.

He literally led his team to the playoffs this year. Come up with something else.

No, I get it, but I also understand how easy it would be to give him one chance and cut him before the locker room is affected if he can’t get it together.

I don’t see this as a dumb move by Miami at all. Ignoring Wilson altogether, swapping a 7th this year when it’s much tougher to evaluate players in person for a 7th next year seems like a wise move. Zero risk. Miami gets two lottery tickets to Tennessee’s one. None are likely to hit, but can’t see how it’s a dumb move for Miami.

He did live in Charlotte but they moved away.

Probably looking here: It looks like your link added a zero where it shouldn’t in the dead cap, but idk enough about rookie contracts. Doubt cap hit would go up that dramatically in 4th year though.

I get it regarding our use of tight ends, but I also think Brady would utilize a weapon as a receiving threat like Jordan. Also still don’t think he makes it past the second. If he’s there in the third and we haven’t upgraded the TE position through free agency, it’d be difficult to pass on him. I also really like Hunter Long too.

Highly doubt he makes it past the 2nd, but id be ecstatic if we landed him in the 3rd.

If Brevin Jordan is available in the 2nd, I’d take him.

I have the guy for Day 3...... Isaiah McDuffie, Boston College https://bostoncollege.rivals.com/news/lb-isaiah-mcduffie-enters-name-in-2021-nfl-draft Hard hitter. Tough. Fiery. Top 5 in the country in tackles last year. Would be an excellent pick up in later rounds.

We won’t actually pay any price. Getting our message out there of how bad we do want Watson might help us in being the team Watson eventually picks though.

Question ..... does the no trade clause in Watson’s contract transfer to the team that acquires him by trade?

Everyone passing on him as an option in this thread has seen the OL we have on contract, right?

Trade a 6th for him and his potential to be our starting LG. If it turns out he can’t get it together, cut him. Probably won’t find anyone with his potential on day 3 anyway.

Isn’t this the same as saying what was Watson’s record last year while putting up elite stats?

The answer is whichever one you can not afford to pay a long term extension. Unfortunately, that’s probably Burns, but if they’re getting him then I’d only offer two 1sts and a 3rd.

I like players having mentors on the team, but I put more of the QB development responsibilities on the QB coach and offensive coordinator. I wouldn’t bring a guy on just as a mentor. Imo, Trubisky’s potential is worth the risk if you can get him for cheap.

I’m fully prepared for “Panthers select: Rashawn Slater, Northwestern -Offensive Tackle” and I’d be happy with that. Also will be fine with a trade down, select Darrishaw and add another 2nd/3rd to grab another lineman or maybe Jordan/Freiermuth at TE or Surratt at LB.

Great contribution. Can’t wait for your response when Mitch signs somewhere this offseason for more than you think he’s worth.

Valid point and appreciate the discussion. I’m not saying we’d be able to pull it off, but with the uncertainty surrounding his landing spot next year and his clear ties to our area, I’d try to secure him for as long and as cheap as possible. His potential, even at this point in his career, is on par with QBs some want to sell the farm for to move up in the draft.

Me? Na, not worked up a bit, my man. Just having fun. You’ll have to pardon me if posters who insist my take is dumb and from a dipshit don’t immediately gain my respect. Especially when the same poster can’t decide in two consecutive posts what he thinks the QB we're discussing is worth, yet is sure my take is horrible. I stand by my statement that locking Trubisky up over the next 5 years for backup QB money would be a positive for the Panthers.

Maybe you’ll make up your mind after this thread about how much Mitch is worth. You’ve fluctuated quite a bit here.
