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.

Let's be honest. The backup QB is the best player on 29 of the 32 NFL teams.

Every time when one of these threads pops up, you have these posters who overvalue DA, and they just LOVE to play that "he beat Tampa when Cam went down" card.  Tampa ended up being the worst team that year, Jimmy Clausen could have beaten them.  If Cam went down, DA will not be able to come in and win us games.  Hell, we had so many nail bitters last year despite having the NFL's MVP as our QB.  I know that's hard to believe for some of you, but if I was the GM and a team contacted me about a trade for DA, I would take it.  Very good chance this could be DA's final year anyways.

DA is incredibly valuable, he showed his worth when Cam was hurt previously.  We dont want to be in the position MN is in with a dumpster fire behind Cam, so I am betting DG wont trade him, period.

That's kinda a tough position to be in if the offers good enough. DA is one of the better backups in the league but we still would be a long shot making any real noise in the playoffs.  Our defense is good but not good enough to car any qb to a superbowl title.  So there's a scenario where rolling with Webb and adding an elite piece in the draft might be the better road to take.  

Luckily we aren't at that juncture

It really is a tough call for DG from a value standpoint if the offer is solid (assuming there would ever be an offer for him).  I still dont think anyone will call about him, but who knows what will happen.  I think there would be way more interest if DA wanted out, which he does not appear to want.  If DG gets a call about him we probably would not know, I highly doubt he wants to deal with the press and fanbase speculation on whether or not he should have pulled the trigger.

We aren't getting an elite piece in the draft for DA. He is worth a 4th at absolute best and more likely a 5th or 6th.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      As I've said numerous times the last few days, having Thielen on the field has literally 0% to do with my views on this (I've even said I think Renfrow is going to take a ton of snaps from Thielen anyways).  He has more value to this team without playing a single snap than a 2026 5th round draft pick does for the franchise.   His value is helping set up T-Mac, XL, Coker, and Horn for long term success by helping them learn how to be pros, how to go about their business, how to train, how to do all the little things that helped turn Thielen from a D2 undrafted player into a borderline Vikings legend.

      Official Panthers roster cuts thread

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.

      Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.
