KK Short


Jared Patterson

Recommended Posts

Surprised people haven't talked about trying to trade Short. He is 31 and is not going to be apart of a rebuild. He is still a top 10-12 DT in the league. I heard on the radio today that we should look to trade him and I completely agree. I understand his contract is way too expensive and Hurney screwed us yet again, but could we get a mid round draft pick for him?

Wasn’t that bad of a contract and the team would have looked silly letting both KK and Star walk. Also didn’t help that Vernon Butler never showed any promise. 
 

With that said, it of course depends on what you get in return. Don’t just trade him to trade him. Let’s say you draft Derrick Brown, it wouldn’t hurt to have Short by his side to mentor him. There is definitely value to keeping a few vets on the roster

He is not a top 10 DT. He has injury concerns. He’s on a horrific contract. He’s a typical Hurney paid him for what he did, riding the coat tails of his farewell contract into retirement.

We will be eating his contract per usual, he will never be what he was, bet on it.

Why Im saying we should trade him before the year starts. Do you not think we could get anything for him?

Hurney didn’t sign KK to the contract extension.  Gettleman did.  
 

 

KK never should have been signed to that kind of money after one good year to begin with. Classic example of ‘everything clicking’ during a contract year. He’s was paid as a top 2-3 DT he’s averaged top 15 since.

    • It's funny how the teams with the great QBs stay at or near the top of the league every season.  Yes it is a team game, but the QB has the biggest impact in most NFL football games. 
    • Look, no one is ever a perfect player.  Since the QB handles the ball on 100% of plays offensively (unless there's a direct snap to a RB or something), I can absolutely see where they get an outsized blame and gain from what happens at any given snap of a football game.   Theoretically, there shouldn't even be a stat or idea to a 4th quarter comeback or game winning drive because you should already have done that during the game.  Losers!  Right?  Just because you win late doesn't take away the fact you tried to lose the game for your team! I'm not a fan of that opinion, but again, I'm just a moron with a keyboard.   Bryce has limited tools.  Bryce has not inspired the same level of confidence in us as Cam Newton did in year 3.  I certainly get that.  We traded a TON of assets to get Bryce, and we still suck.  (I mean, since we've lost games, we're losers right?) I completely understand that some fans are just unhappy with a limited QB and a team that isn't performing well, unless the other teams are worse losers than we are. I will say this:  Bryce will fight until the end.  Sure, he's has some real loser football.   But in close games, he's doing his best to comeback (even against a winner of prevent D). Now is it better or worse if your QB plays their best ball in the first half and sucks 2nd half so long as they finish with 300 yards, 3 TDs for your fantasy points? Who said stats are for winners anyway?  The Panthers and Bryce has a long way to go.  I'm enjoying the winning right now.  Though I do start each game thinking "how will we fug this up today?" Because it's been such a poo show in the Tepper era.  Will he prove to be a legit starting NFL QB?  Maybe not here as evidence by our record with QBs who were high draft picks.  
    • Ive never liked the term game winning drives because they include games where the QB was part of or was the reason the team was behind in the first place. Ive been arguing against this stat since the Delhomme years. It should only count when the QB is out of the equation of reasons why the team fell behind in the first place and is at least half the reason why he led the last drive to give them a lead. It shouldnt count if they just hand it off most of the time and the RB is on fire and they go down and score a TD or FG.
