Trading for Smitty mid-season.

Before you totally flame me at least hear me out. I understand there were some reasons aside from the cap situation for Smitty being traded however...

 

This past year after week 8 the Kansas City Chiefs were 8-0 and the Atlanta Falcons were 3-4. The Chiefs tried to bring Gonzo home since the Falcons were an obvious train wreck and KC believed they had a shot at a ring. I believe they offered ATL a 6th round pick in exchange for Gonzo. Now Gonzo would have helped KC's offense tremendously IMO and Smitty's return may not have had the same impact as Gonzo returning.

 

However lets just say after week 8 we're 7-1 or 8-0 and making a huge run and the Ravens are having a down season. What would you say to giving up a 6th round pick to the Ravens for the possibility of giving Smitty a ring as well as adding another weapon to our offense? I know this is a big "what if" considering our WR corps may be having a great season up to that point. But I would just like to hear some of your thoughts on it because it has me thinking.

8-0 and we add a locker room distraction?

Last season half of the Huddle was screaming to trade for Josh Gordon. If our WR corps is struggling would you really be that opposed to trading for the greatest Panther of all time for a chance to get a ring?

if we're 8-0 with a struggling receiving corps then we're making up for it with team chemistry in some form.

 

you don't mess with 8-0

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Nobody is giving up a 4th rounder for a backup QB And anyone who needs a starter badly enough to where Bryce would then be their starter, is such a bad team that they're not giving up a pick likely to be about pick 105ish overall, instead of just dealing with a bad QB situation for a season and then drafting one in a loaded QB draft next year. I'm looking through all the teams right now and can't think of a single one that would be willing to part with anything better than a 6th rounder. Barring injuries (and excluding the Panthers), there look to be 10 teams who don't know with 100% certainty who their starting QB will be in 2027... Dolphins, Jets, Browns, Steelers, Vikings, Colts, Saints, Falcons, Cardinals, and Rams. Of those 10...  The Rams know it will be Stafford or Simpson.  The Saints more than likely will be sticking with Shough unless he takes a huge step backwards.  So neither are giving up any draft picks for Bryce right now, just wouldn't make sense for either. Down to 8 Given their current QB situation of having multiple QBs they already need to evaluate between this year, the Browns (Shedeur/Watson), Vikings (Kyler/JJ), Colts (Jones/Richardson/Leonard), and Falcons (Penix/Tua), wouldn't be giving up a 4th (or maybe any pick) to bring in another QB to muddy the waters even more. Down to 4 Dolphins just signed Willis and wouldn't want to bring in another small Alabama QB who has struggled after just dumping Tua instead of just rolling with Ewers as the backup.   That then leaves the Steelers, Cardinals, and Jets left as it's clear none of them have any idea who their 2027 could be as of right now.  But the Steelers would for sure rather just see what one of the 2 QB's they drafted in the last 2 drafts could become than give up a mid round pick for Bryce.  Same goes for the Cardinals in taking Beck this past weekend. The Jets would be the most likely team to even consider taking him on, but I think it seems very apparent right now given them rolling with Geno and now talk of bringing in Wilson to be his backup, they're punting on QB this year to draft someone next year, so why give up even a mid round pick for Bryce?

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      Honestly I am not sure Pickett couldn’t step in for him. But I don’t see a clear easy upgrade and we are not KC with Alex Smith we are a team that hadn’t done poo for almost ten years and just made the playoffs. And looked good in the game. That stadium atmosphere on that day…. you know Tepper ate that poo up. Not one drink has been thrown in a while.  You had better make sure if you replaced him after that that you had a sure fire upgrade.

      Makes sense. If Bryce is ass this year, we are probably drafting our new QB next draft and sitting him behind Bryce for a year
