Take it for what its worth considering it is coming from PFT. Eagles are looking for LBers and Kevin Curtis could be on the block.

Not sure how much, if any, Curtis would help. I'm thinking Johnson, a former starter in Cincy, could be a good trade.

I also find it interesting that in the comments some Eagle fans are talking about the Eagles trading McNabb and allowing Kolb to start the rest of the season. Once again, not sure how much it would help...

Id rather work on improving pass protection and using the very capable receivers we already have. Hasn't Gross already given up more sacks than all of last season? Didn't we just make him one of the top paid OT's?

Getting a new WR at this point would equate to buying a newer, big trailer to haul with a truck with engine and transmission problems- it would cost a lot and wouldn't make a bit of difference.

Yeah, let's trade away another draft pick for another mediocre WR. That will make things better.

BTW, why are so many people acting like the Panthers are the only team in the league that are reluctant to make a trade in the middle of the season? There is a reason why very few of these in season trades ever happen, and it's not just something specific to the Panthers. It's simple...most of the players on the trading block aren't worth what the team wants for them, and most of the names people are mentioning aren't on the trading block in the first place. Brady Quinn is a perfect example of a player who's not worth it. I guarantee you that Cleveland is gonna want more than a 4th round pick for him even though he really hasn't proven himself at all in the NFL.

Monstercat, I really respect you so all I'm going to say is you need to read before posting. The Eagles aren't even looking for draft picks, actually they might be inclined to give up some for a LBer.

It's still not worth it, because we're not very deep at LBer either. And I wasn't just talking about this thread, I'm talking about all the "we should trade for so and so" threads. Unless Houston is willing to trade Andre Johnson for or the Falcons are willing to trade Matt Ryan for something the Panthers could afford, I just don't see the point.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
