Ah, the old trade DA thread...

I hate to break it to folks, but DA is the most overrated player on this forum. He's a solid backup QB, nothing more nothing less. Hell, Shaun Hill has significantly higher career averages for completion percentage, yards per game, and QB rating than DA does.  Half of this forum acts like DA would be an All Pro if he wasn't Cam's backup.

He may be over rated by our fan base,, but he is one of the better back ups in the league. Like you said,, SOLID BACK UP,,

We all know every player is one play away from an injury,, even non contact ( KB last year, Cam's truck the year before ) . And I sure don't want Joe Webb being Cam's back up,,

With this offense and defense,, I do think DA  could get us upward to 9-10 wins,,  NFC SOUTH CHAMPIONS, and a roll of the dice chance in the playoff

Kurt Warner's coming in and taking hold of a team is just rare,

It would have to be for Harrison Smith, Kyle Rudolph, Everson Griffen, Xavier Rhodes, AND a 1st round pick.

AMIRIGHT?!?!

Honest question: Would you take Derek Anderson or Matt Ryan as your starting QB?

i understand that but i mean to get a all time great to go with our all time greats would be insane and we would be pretty much unstoppable 

Also consider AP has a cap hit of 12M this year we would take on.  DA has a cap hit of just under 2M.  So we are down a backup that has value whom we cannot easily replace, and also absorb 10M more in salary for a RB.  Not sure DG is looking to add that kind of payroll for a RB, especially knowing we have KK, Star to sign again and also Trai, Norwell, maybe Remmbers to get paid down the road.  

Not disagreeing with you it would be cool to have him, but this is DG we are talking about, he doesnt seem to roll on big trades and big name FAs with big contracts especially after he dug us out of one of a horrible cap situation a few years ago.

Dude, AP is washed up. He maybe has 1 good year left. He's a speed rusher, not a power rusher like Stew. You need to open up holes for him to thrive, and our O line hasn't proven that consistency. 

Wat?!

Seriously, man, you can speculate that this is the year that he could wash out (like people have been doing for the last couple), but there has been absolutely nothing to suggest that AP, a.k.a AD, is washed up. Plus, he has never ever needed a line to open up holes for him. He has arguably never really had that luxury. 

 

Regarding DA's trade value. I think it's decidedly overrated by Panthers fans. Sure he may be one of the better backups out there, but there's not a lot of trade capital for an older guy who only showed that he could possibly play on the big stage for one year. I mean, if we could get a 4th, I'd be ecstatic. That expectation is too high.

My post was primarily referencing the ridiculous trade value many fans think DA has.  I value him as a backup, but I don't think we could win 10 games or the division with him as our full-time starter.  We barely beat the Bucs twice with him starting during the season when the Bucs were the worst team in the league.

Heck, while we're at it maybe they'll give us Harrison Smith too.

Nah they overpaid for him.  But I'd give DA and a 3rd for Griffin.

probably b/c the vikings run it more than any other team in the league and he got like a bijillion carries

He still had a respectable 4.5 per carry, even though most teams probably  considered him the primary threat.  He is still a very good running back.

 

That being said, I wouldn't trade for him, simply  because we don't know how much longer he will be a very good running back.

I can think of about 7 teams that would probably start DA over their current QB.

We start the season against three of them 

[outlaw4]

DA has shown he can fill his role quite well. It's a high risk to give that up, especially when we have a QB who will take more hits than your typical starter.

Ryan would need to bribe us by bringing Julio Jones with him.

DA is one of the reasons Cam can play like Cam. And I can sleep at night.

He's the perfect backup.

[Seltzer]

Zero interest in trading DA.  I think he likes the situation he's in, and it has served Cam well.  Let's not forget that Cam's playing style is inherently dangerous.  A competent, content backup is very hard to find.  That's an apple cart I wouldn't want to disrupt on a team with Super Bowl aspirations.
