If it's only a few grand, I might actually make some calls and do this.

I would keep him if he wants to stay and at the right price(not top 10 WR money). Say $15-20 milish I would trade him if we get an offer for a 3rd or more(assuming he doesn't want to stay or would be very expensive). Otherwise, just keep him this year and help the offensive overall be better. Let him help the younger WR's by just being on the team at all. IDGAF about a 4th round or lower pick for a player that helps us like he does.

That might work. Honestly, just the simple text and stats are really enough. Maybe a fake hashtag or a link to a goofy website.

Well there does actually have to be grounds for a lawsuit.

I would avoid anything that might catch a lawsuit. Even publicly available images of the stadium are out.

Nah. I would want it pretty direct towards Tepper. Maybe something like: "Tepper your expections, Panthers fans." Then a list of overall winning percentage during his era.

I rather doubt it, TBH. I suspect he isn't going to be a high priced FA. He wasn't sought after as a trade when Pittsburgh got him. I would expect him to be somewhere in the range of price that Dalton was. $5-7 mil.

I guess the real question is to what end does this trade really make any sense? Just sign him as a FA.

I tend to agree but he is young enough in his career that he could become a Ryan Fitzpatrick type occasional starter.

But he can block very well and even catch a ball once in a blue moon.

Or how about something that leans into what he is pretty solid at, make him a FB/HB.

It hasn't happened often but it seems to happen at the most inopportune times.

Yeah, I mean I understand the attraction. I don't really particularly care what version of winning/success we choose. If we want it to be a high flying passing offense, a balanced attack or a smash mouth running attack. Or, even better, maybe just some good old fashioned changing it up based on the opponent you play. I just want to win again. That's what I really want. Even this year. I don't care about the #1 overall pick. We are still gonna end up in the top 5-10 regardless of how many of these winnable games we take. There shouldn't be an excuse for not grabbing 1-2 QUALITY starters with that kind of capital.

Show me an elite defensive coordinator that has had as bad of a unit as we do. If you watch our games and see our blitzes, it's blatantly obvious why we rarely see any success.

We aren't a terrible situation for Howell but I think his best bet for being successful long term is doing what he is now, riding the pine. If we want to being Dalton back for a couple of years and Howell can be had cheaply(4th round or lower) to sit behind him for that time, that's probably a path to success. Of the games I watched for Howell, he definitively showed he needed to be sitting and learning for a while.

Teammates like winning and being competitive. There is zero question at all that Russell Wilson is a better QB at his best than Justin Fields. Fields peak is closer to Russell's lower/mid level of QB play. The question is, if Wilson still has any left in the tank after Denver.

I did include 2nd and 3rd when I looked.

Fields takes care of the ball a lot more than Howell, however. We would need to know if Canales can break him of his Winston-esque gunslinger mentality. If we can't, that's going to be a problem

The difference is that it's clear that Fields is a big limiting factor in their offense. It's blatant when you watch the games. He's just limited in his capabilities as a passer. Russell shouldn't have those.....if he isn't washed up.

Well your football opinions are pretty awful, TBH.

I wasn't counting our home runs. Those everyone knows.

PFF is indicating that Fields is not the guy from the Steelers we need to trade for. Nope. He isn't the QB we need from them. It's the other QB they have with a much better career winning percentage, similar career QB rating and at times considered an elite player by much of the Huddle. It also happens he is in the last year of his deal. We need to go out and get.....

It would never be at the Lamar level just because Lamar is also an elite passing QB and Fields is a bottom tier passing QB. It would be a LOT of loading the box and daring him to throw against us, I suspect. It would be kind of fun to watch us load up heavy and just start mauling people. Probably not super successful ultimately but fun for a bit. Truthfully, he doesn't fit what Canales wants to do at all, IMO.
