Who’s blocking for Mahomes?

He’s 38 so they would likely add a year like they did with Brees to push it down the road. They currently have no plan for a starter after him and he’s still a top 20 QB so it makes sense. They will be one of many teams though looking to draft a QB in this upcoming draft if they are smart

Cardiac Cats!!!

I shouldn’t have posted 1st round pick, it could have been any pic. For the record I don’t believe we should do this, like I stated in the original post, it is just for discussion. Even a 2nd round pick was just a topic for discussion. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.fanduel.com/theduel/posts/3-most-likely-jordan-love-trade-destinations-01ewzrpt11n7/amp

Lol no way you could get Watson for that

I don’t either but it is a good question. He has a year of NFL learning behind One of the best to ever do it which is beneficial for a project like he is. He is obviously very talented physically but many people knew he would take a year or two to fine tune his game. If he moved and sat for one year behind 2 gloves it could be intriguing

I was reading the article below earlier and it brought up a very good question. With Aaron Rodgers having an MVP season and showing no signs of slowing down, he wants to remain the starter of the Packers and wants a new contract to show that they are dedicated to him for the foreseeable future, not Jordan Love. So what will the Packers do? Will the Packers look at Jordan Love as the next Rodgers or the next Jimmy G (with the Patriots) who will be trade bait? Could they admit that they made a mistake drafting him and not another playmaker for Rogers to get over the hump and make it to the Super Bowl? A 1st round pick for Love could be a huge piece to help the Packers feel like they can make it past the Championship round. Would you trade the #8 overall pick in the draft for Love? Just asking overall opinions, I’m not saying we should. We have literally posted threads about every possible QB option since the end of the season, so this is an interesting topic in my opinion. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/01/28/what-aaron-rodgers-really-wants-is-clarity/

Tepper running to the phone to call up a trade

That is eye opening. Knowing that your QB can bring you back in the game is huge. If the players on the team don’t have that confidence that you can come back when you are down, it can become contagious when you face adversity. Last season alone we had the chance to have a winning season by coming back in one score games.

No rush but the deal can be made before that. Once a team announces that a player of available at his level, it normally moves fairly quick especially when it involves a franchise QB. Normally a deal is made but won’t be official until March

Many times Rhule gives praise when we can all tell that he’s not high on a particular player (aka they get demoted/cut a week later/Whitehead) but he really did not hide his feelings about Teddy at the end of the year. Look at the comments Tepper made about having a franchise QB, Rhule “benching him due to injury” in the last game, and the comments he made at the end of the season/once the offseason started. No question in my mind that we are looking for an improvement. I still have the feeling that we find that QB in the draft and allow the staff to develop our franchise QB who will be on a rookie wage so that we can continue to build the team around him.

My mistake I read too quick. It said the first was African American... but he is a minority candidate which is good

Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said early this month that the team will “look at every opportunity to have the best we can have at every position” including quarterback as they head into the 2021 season. Their starting quarterback in 2020 was Teddy Bridgewater, who Rhule said “has to have a tremendous offseason” if he’s going to remain in that job after a season that saw the Panthers lose a lot of close games when the offense failed to make plays down the stretch. Speaking from the Senior Bowl on Wednesday, Rhule discussed what traits he’s looking for in a quarterback. One of them was closely related to how those one-score games played out last year. “Just in general, I think you want someone who’s elitely intelligent. I think you want someone who’s a tremendous leader,” Rhule said, via Alaina Getzenberg of the Charlotte Observer. “I think you want someone who’s accurate. I think you want someone who has arm talent to make all the throws. And I think you want someone who has a history of making plays in crucial situations, that’s just very urgent.” With the eighth pick in the draft and a lot of potential movement involving quarterbacks around the league, the Panthers will have options to check the boxes on Rhule’s list. How they do so will provide a big hint about where Bridgewater will stand in the pecking order. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/01/28/matt-rhule-very-urgent-to-have-qb-who-makes-plays-in-crucial-situations/

He is African American though....

I agree, but the price could be going down being that they have already played themselves by announcing that he wanted out and that they have agreed to trade him. Teams know that he’s not on the team next year do they will be forced to move on no matter what

Very true but this is a turn of events. If you could get Stafford for a 2 second round picks though I would jump.

When it comes to potential interest in Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford, the glass is currently two-thirds empty. That’s the obvious import of the news that a third of the league has reached out to the Lions. A third of the league. Ten teams. For a 32-year-old franchise quarterback who is going to get his wish for a new franchise. The Lions undoubtedly leaked that number to NFL Media in order to generate more interest. Surely, they expected to hear from more than 10 teams — especially since calls always get made when a key veteran player is available as part of the normal due diligence process. The teams that should at least make the call include the Jets, Patriots, Dolphins, Steelers, Browns, Jaguars, Colts, Texans, Broncos, Raiders, Washington, Cowboys (as a potentially cheaper alternative to Dak Prescott), Bears, Vikings, Panthers, Saints, Falcons, 49ers, and Rams. That’s nearly two thirds of the league. Maybe some teams simply aren’t intersted. Maybe some teams simply want the Lions to get nervous and thus desperate and thus willing to get whatever they can for Stafford instead of driving the hardest bargain. Regardless, the Lions for now seem to be having a much harder time than expected when it comes to generating interest in Stafford. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/01/27/the-lions-dont-seem-to-be-getting-as-much-interest-in-matthew-stafford-as-expected/

Slater would be a great pick. I would be very happy with this. Literally the only non QB position I would want at 8

He meant O line. One starter under contract (Paradis)
