It's Quiet. Maybe a Little Too Quiet.

I won't cry to see Cam traded.  I could see it happening.  And we wouldn't get as much in return as most people would expect.  Two 1sts, a 2nd and a conditional pick in 2019 I think would be what it would be.  I could also see us getting a 1st overall, swapping the 4th and 24th, 2 2nds and a conditional next year.  Both those scenarios would be hopeful and the most we'd get.

That would free up 21.5 million.  A nice chunk of change to chase a few other free agents.  I'm ready to move on from the Cam experiment.  He's great when he's on but terrible when he's not.  Too inconsistent in my mind.  When game day comes we just never know which Cam is stepping on the field.

 

Flame away.

I'm torn. Part of me agrees that it would be interesting to move on from Cam, get a rookie QB in here and spend the money on pieces to build around the QB. Load up on picks to build youth into the defense and use the money to re-sign Norwell, and go find a vet WR like Mike Wallace for the new young QB.  

But then it's like, how many years would it take to see Super Bowl level success with the new guy and the semi youth movement versus just plug and play guys being added and still making a run for another 2 years before blowing it up.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
