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

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
