I'm no NFL cap expert... but we'd have to dump a lot of salary to get him right? Doesn't seem feasible. If we could get him for just picks I would at least explore it though. Our championship window is now in my opinion. Newton/Kuechly/Mack is a deadly core.

I'd definitely think it over...  if we're picking in the bottom fourth of the first each year, we really wouldn't miss those picks if we had Mack for them.  We will need a pass rusher to take the helm once Pep retires, and you likely aren't going to find a player of his caliber in the back of the first.  He is a beast.

Raiders asking for two first round picks to trade him.  Would you do it if you’re the Panthers?. With Peppers retiring soon, we will definitely need to replace him. 

Seriously do you watch this team or just want attention? Why would we send TWO fuging FIRSTS FOR A POSITION OF STRENGTH AND THE FACT THAT WE COULDN'T AFFORD HIM? PEPPERS DOESN'T PLAY THE SAME DAMN POSITION.

Calm your ass down.  I am not advocating giving up two firsts, but I would hope we're at least exploring the trade option of  something less.  If you don't like the topic, just ignore it, or do YOU want the attention?

And Mack is  Defensive End, how is that not the same position as Peppers?

So where does the cap space come from to fit him in at 14M THIS YEAR. Then 20+M the next 4-5. There are actual rules we, and every team has to follow. We are already staring at a huge cap hit just to get rid of Kalil. Who are the players that are leaving because we can’t pay them? That will close a window quickly.

And this is why I baulk. It's not necessarily the picks, but would he just be a one year rental - for two, first round picks? If both Kalils agreed to retire after this season, then I would definitely consider.

There is one option, they want two firsts. There is no exploration. He's not a DE either, he's an 3-4 OLB for a scheme that doesn't fit ours.

Actually, let's send them Cam and Luke. Allows us to free up the cap space, we get our pass rusher, and we can have Gilbert lead us to the promise land. While we're at it, throw in CMC, maybe they'll send us Cooper. I MEAN WHY NOT, IT CERTAINLY DESERVES A THREAD TO DISCUSS

There are an abundance of much, much cheaper 4-3 DEs in this year’s draft. I’d rather use the 2020 first to jump up in 2019’s draft to get a young stud who doesn’t cost close to $20M per year.

Yes, bust potential but again if we draft (I definitely want a DE in the 1st) a DE in the first, assuming we only move up to 11th max, we would be looking at a cap cost of $20-25 million for 5 years instead of $100 million for 5 years.

With Cam’s re-up and Daryl and Devin, etc. we could have a rookie DE (and a good one) and a lot of other pieces or Mack. Sorry but he’s not that good. He’s been awesome for years and the Raiders mediocre except one great year for Carr. Even Von Miller wasn’t a SB champ without a lot of other great D players around him.

I can respect a well expressed argument, instead of the idiotic RumHam posts.  Cheers!

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I have seen little inclination that they are laying down on him, that I can agree with. I don't think we are going to ever see much in the way of unfiltered opinions in the public realm from his teammates because that's extremely rare and extremely toxic behavior.  It's certainly a positive thing that they support him but, again, that doesn't make a successful NFL starting QB. Playing well on Sunday's does.  That is what has been lacking to date. He is not playing well consistently enough to be considered an NFL starting QB. He has to improve there. Be more consistent. Be more decisive. Make correct decisions more frequently.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      That's fine but for every Kurt Warner there are 10 Tony Banks that don't find their spot because....it never really existed.  Jake Browning was on and off practice squad teams for years until he stuck in Cincy. In his limited action over the past two seasons, he has played well enough that the Bengals panic traded for 41 year old Joe Flacco. It's easy to point to outliers like Warner or Purdy or Tom Brady as players who fell through the cracks because....well, they are outliers. The statistics over the long term have never really borne out the argument that every QB is just waiting for their perfect spot and situation. Most of these guys bounce around the league and it just never really clicks anywhere or they become marginal backup QB's. I don't think that exactly an accident. It's tough to be a starting NFL QB and it's why the hunt every offseason is so frantic. There are just so few that do it at a high level. My guess is that a theoretical market for Bryce Young(today) is going to look a lot like that post Chicago Justin Fields market. Not a lot of interest and a late round pick value at the highest. And a lot of that IS going to be his average to below average physical traits. It's extremely tough to be in that range and excel in the NFL. And it's precisely because you DO have to be closer to perfection to make up for the fact that you can't do a lot of the things that the elite to above average starters in this league do.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By Seltzer · Posted

      Im never not impressed by how confidently wrong you are. I've watched probably 200 NFL QBs play live. This talk about Bryce's arm strength is retarded, pure and simple. Bryce can make every throw an NFL QB needs to make in any circumstance. Does he have an arm that makes you go wow all the time? No, but very few QBs truly do. Bryce has plenty of zip on the ball when he wants. That TD to XL was a frozen rope. He throws to the opposite hash and outside all the time with no problem. Bryce's arm is objectively stronger than Cam's post-injury. I've seen both live multiple times and I know. And Cam could still play QB well without his rocket launcher. OPs point remains. QB success relies on a lot of nebulous things. Obviously you dont like Bryce. But his success is not going to be bc he doesn't have the arm strength. Its embarrassing this is a thing. Go to some games and actually educate yourself.
