The Trade nobody wants to talk about suggested by Jason La Confora: Joe Thomas to us for a 1st rounder.

Trading a 1st round pick for Joe Thomas is like paying MSRP for an 8 year old car with 100,000 miles on it. 

Sure it might be a nice car and run great, but you can't justify someone else using it for 8 years and selling it to you for what they paid. 

Thats just bad business.

Nice analogy, dude.

Related Note: I'm really not too sure I'd want to take team building advice from Jason LaCanfora.

It won't happen, but we can all dream man.  Imagine if we would've had him last year vs the Broncos.  

I got news for everyone, a Lombardi is in Charlotte.  

Actually Joe Thomas plays LT, not sure if you are aware but that is on the opposite side of the field from Von Miller?

Also not sure if you are aware but Oher will be back in 1-2 weeks and that 1st round pick would be better used on a future building block for our team vs. a 1-2 year stop gap at a position we are already good at.

dy good at.

 

Ah, you had me up til then. Oher did solidify our line last year. And I think he does a fine job normally. However, not sure I would say good. Then again. Why not? All in all, he HAS played pretty well for us. Better than we thought he would when he got here.

Tyron Smith - Andrew Norwell - Ryan Kalil - Trai Turner - Michael Oher

    • NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing. 
    • The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
    • Yeah man, that was a catch. I like to imagine the game isn’t rigged but it’s well known sports betting is ruining the sport. Unfortunately, most coaches plan for 3 phases of the game. But there is really 4, offense, defense, special teams, and special occasions. on special occasions the refs can influence the game, leaving you in positions your actively planning to stay out of and how you respond in those special occasions make or break the game. Other times it’s other reasons. But I like to hope that the right team, or right player can extend past those types of setbacks and still find a way. anywho, probably a pipe dream. But it’s how I see it.
