HYPOTHETICAL Cam Trades Thread


kungfoodude

Recommended Posts

Since the rumor mill keeps churning up that we may attempt to trade Cam, I have a few questions for people to discuss.

  • What is the minimum you would want in return(what round picks, type of players, etc)?
  • What is the ideal result(picks, players, etc)?
  • What are the likely destinations and/or teams interested?
  • What are the teams you would absolutely NOT want to see him get traded to?

When you're looking at potential destinations, you have to consider the system.

Everybody talks about Chicago, but Chicago is running an Andy Reid style West Coast Offense. Is that really the best fit?

True but you have to consider that if you are planning on making that move, you don't try and pound an extremely expensive square peg into a round hole.

When the trade stuff started my initial gut was a 1st and a 2nd. Looking at historical trades that may be aggressive. Drew Bledsoe went for a 1st. Sam Bradford went for a 1st and a 4th. Garrapolo went for a 2nd. Carson Palmer went for a 1st and a 2nd. Craig Erickson went for a 1st. So hopefully a 1st but realistically it may be a 2nd and a 3rd.

I would take picks and have no idea what players would be realistic.

Chicago, Denver, Buffalo, Miami, Cleveland.

No NFC South or Patriots.

    • A rookie that has never played a snap and a proven 1000K NFL WR are not going to be viewed the same in these type rankings.  And calling draft picks, lotto picks, isn't some new quip I just invented.  take the big 3 Hubbard, AT, insert whatever 3rd Panther you want vs Kamara, Hill, Olave.  Most football folks outside of Carolina are picking the Saints there IMO.    
    • You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.
    • Yeah, this is all projections of how it will turn out. Inevitability this list will look ridiculous in a full 2025 sesson hindsight, most likely. Still, I am pretty surprised that so many bristled at being thought of as having very, very lowly ranked WR and TE units. We literally have been for years. All you have to do is just have things stay the same and those are immediately bottom 5 units. It is easy to see why one would be reticent to have lofty expectations in the preseason. Gotta show it first when you are a perennial cellar dweller. That's just life at the bottom.
