He has enough money to live comfortably for the remainder of his life. As long as he doesn't do foolish things with it or take unwarranted risks investing it, he shouldn't have to work another day if he so chooses.

They'd be completely insane to not take that deal. A move down to 8, another first and an elite pass rusher on a rookie deal for the #2 overall pick? Yeah, you are really overvaluing that pick by a massive margin. I am not saying Houston wouldn't turn down my hypothetical Burns offer but any deal involving Burns is going to have to knock that starting price down. A LOT. I have no issues making a trade but there is no reason to trade a player of his caliber away and then give them a boatload of draft picks that absolutely remove any and all ability we would have to replace him.

Hence why you don't make a RB one of the highest paid in the NFL. See Hurney 1.0, 2.0 and I am sure eventually 3.0 for the WTF's.

You have already lashed out at Watson on numerous occasions and called him a "whiny bitch." Then you went on to laud JJ Watt. Strange how you were silent when he engineered his way out of his "contractual obligation."

If they wants Burns, my best offer is probably the 2021 and 2022 first and Burns. He's worth that third 1st rounder, the additional player and whatever BS picks you want to throw in. I'd consider putting other picks on the table if they take Teddy, which is probably extremely unreasonable considering their cap situation.

That's the thing that most Panthers fans seem to ignore in a lot of these "hypothetical" trade discussions, positional value. That's why CMC isn't worth very much as a RB on a massive deal. That's why guys like Moore and Burns ARE worth a lot because they are at premium positions at an entry level price.

And who says being a n00b means your initial posts have to be moronic?

This dude really is about as transparent as they come. His post history is insane.

Yeah, you'd have to be a special kind of stupid to just torpedo your franchise intentionally like that. Not trade him basically means a spot in the cellar of the NFL and with little draft capital this year to help them climb out of it. Their best hope is tanking in 2021(while will likely happen anyway) and even then they still won't get the embarrassment of riches in the draft to enable them to quickly turn their situation around.

Depends on the price. An elite pass rusher on a rookie contract is worth a LOT. I'll wager we could peddle him for much more than a first round draft pick at the moment. So if they want Burns, one of those firsts is off the table, IMO. He's worth more than a first.

He is easily the most valuable asset on our team, so I would hope they would think twice before peddling him.

Yeah, drive up the price by claiming you don't have any intentions of trading him. In a normal scenario, absolutely the way I would handle it. The problem is, the cat is already out of the bag that Watson has no desire to play there ever again. So, dragging ass is only going to result in fewer available suitors as the offseason(or perhaps season) progresses. They should have capitalized off the Stafford trade feeding frenzy and struck while the market was red hot. I think they end up remaining stubborn so long that they miss out on the max haul they could get.

Well, those folks aren't very smart. They'll be proven so in the end.

Kansas City was a good team long before he got there. That wasn't a "built and waiting for a franchise QB" scenario. They were already a very good team. It just so happened they took a gamble on a guy that turned into a fuging superstar.

He will be traded. The Texans are just not smart enough to realize how fuged they are yet.

It doesn't take being much of an NFL fan or pundit to know that winning in the NFL without an elite QB is extremely difficult. Tepper sees that, as well. More to the point, for the people that want to build the team first and then try and find our QB.....well....those experiments aren't really going that well in the NFL. The problem is that you rarely can keep that core together long enough to intersect with the careers of the team you have built. The NFL salary cap isn't designed to keep dynasty teams and elite talent together.

Not a fair comparison. Cam was an elite player, Teddy has never been at any point in his career.

Yeah, he should have just kept his mouth shut if he wanted any more opportunities here. Not that I want to see that happen, mind you. Good dude, probably will be a great #2 QB in the NFL....not starting QB material at all.

I have to assume we don't re-sign Reimer and roll with Ned and Mrazek next year.

I do also want to point out how ironic it is that the guy I compared Joe Burrow so much to(Andy Dalton), they are right next to each other in the bottom of the rankings. TBD if this holds up but I did warn people that the only real elite attributes he had were intangibles. His physical skills were not exceptional. For the Mac Jones stans......take note.

His risk aversion was so perplexing. Even in end of game/game winning scenarios he was still avoiding risks at all costs. I don't remember him ever playing this way at Louisville.

Yes, he has been doing it for a few years now.

The rankings of QB's reported to be or speculated to be associated with our QB search: Dwayne Haskins(tied for 32nd) Mitchell Trubisky(tied for 32nd) Sam Darnold(29th) Carson Wentz(27th) Dak Prescott(tied for 17th) Gardner Minshew(tied for 17th) Matthew Stafford(9th) Deshaun Watson(6th) Derek Carr(2nd)

From the article: 25. Teddy Bridgewater (Carolina Panthers) I missed watching Teddy Bridgewater as a starter in the NFL after that brutal knee injury from 2016, but this was not what I had in mind. Replacing Cam Newton in the eyes of Panthers fans was not going to be easy, and that’s exactly what didn’t happen. Normally I don’t talk much about Inaccurate Completions considering each quarterback has at least 1 or 2 of them. Teddy had 5. F-I-V-E of them. That should be impossible to achieve, and yet the impossible has happened. Bridgewater also threw for less accurate passes than he had completions, and that’s never a good thing. He fared well on passes of 31-35 yards, but otherwise was well below average as a deep passer. The decision making was there, but the arm strength simply was not, leaving plays on the field for D.J. Moore, Curtis Samuel, and Robby Anderson. However, I can also appreciate that he’s not dead last. Last year, Kyle Allen was the worst deep passer in the 2019-20 Deep Ball Project, and Teddy is Dan Marino in comparison to Allen. Surprisingly, he was 10th in accuracy against pressure for instance. So while his deep passing season was bad, it wasn’t the cyanide trainwreck Allen’s season was a year ago.
