Mr. Scot

If the trade proposals we were seeing only involved draft picks, this'd be a different conversation.

The kinds of deals that King and Schrager are suggesting are ridiculous. Jonathan Stewart recognized that. In the same vein as Stewart, if we did something like one of those proposals, here's how I picture Watson's arrival at the facilities: "Welcome to the Panthers, Deshaun!" "Yeah, I'm happy to be here. Can't wait to start working with the guys. It's gonna be great to have Christian McCaffrey in the backfield with me. Can I meet with him?" "Ummm...yeah. Sorry to tell you but we had to trade McCaffrey in order to acquire you." "Oh, bummer. I understand though. How about Robbie Anderson? Is he around? "Well see, we kind of had to...you know..." "Ah. Okay, I get it. What about Brian Burns? He reminds me a lot of JJ Watt. Is he in the building?" "..." *I see... Well at the very least, I should say hi to the guys that are gonna be blocking for me. Can I meet some of them?" "Sure, but I should probably let you know we really only have two starters under contract. We're kind of trying to rebuild the offensive line right now." "Understood, But at least you've got some draft picks and some cap space you can use to get some new guys, right?" "We should probably talk."

I'd just as soon trade for Dwayne Haskins. Maybe try and trade for Darnold, Garoppolo or Mariota instead.

Is the first step of that plan making sure that Bill O'Brien gets a GM job again?

Did the Rams or the Bears need to invest in players to protect Khalil Mack or Jalen Ramsey?

No other trades involve an established franchise quarterback in his prime.

I'd say there are two trades that compare. Walker is one. The Bears trade for Jay Cutler is the second. Other examples may have been for great players but didn't involve the kind of compensation package that's being discussed for this trade. For reference, the Walker trade was in 1989, more than thirty years ago, yet people still talk about how huge a mistake it was. Blow a trade of this proportion, and people will be using you as the cautionary tale up through 2051 and beyond.

Guys that look like Willig generally get relegated to playing henchmen, hit men or monsters on sci fi / horror shows. Willig's NCIS character wasn't pigeonholed into one of those molds.

If I'm being honest, I'd have to say Miller's value in a trade package is probably equivalent to the "free" item in a "buy one get one free" deal.

We blamed Rivera for that particular glitch, but turned out it was David Tepper who suggested it. Not one of his better moments...

...trying not to think about phrases like "non-disclosure agreement", "jeans day", or (especially) "back to back winning seasons".

He played in a couple of episodes of NCIS too. I think his character ended up dead. (that happens to a lot of side characters on NCIS... and some main characters)

You could make a pretty good case that a top five pick getting benched more than once qualifies as "underperforming".

Got me. I'm not sure what Ryan Clark's logic is here.

Hope so. He didn't really strike me as anything special so if he turns out to be good, cool.

If I'm being honest, his rookie season was kind of...forgettable.

Breer says the Eagles are gonna be looking reeeeeally hard at the top quarterbacks. He believes drafting competition for Hurts is more likely than signing a veteran.

Wait, what?!

He didn't think they would either. He did say that was as much as he'd offer though, with the rationale being that throwing Burns in there essentially makes the deal equal to three first round picks.

I genuinely didn't think this post would lead to a debate I guess it's true that Huddlers will argue over just about anything

McCaffrey isn't cap practical. If I recall correctly, our resident movie Shogun suggested two firsts and Brian Burns. Would you be on board with that?

Saw this from one of SI's Panther guys... I'm not sure whether he's talking about King's proposal or Schrager's.

Wilson's skill set is phenomenal. His frame and physical makeup scare the hell out of me.

There was a comment about Fields in the draft forum attributed to a scout, something to the effect of they examined every play of his season and he only very rarely ever looked off his first read. Valid? No idea, but to be fair that's the way a lot of college systems are set up these days.

I like the direction the team is heading, but I have to admit I'd have a hard time being optimistic about Kellen Mond.
