Why no talk about trading up to #3 for Tua?

Pretty much sums it up for me. If you're considering moving on from Cam due to injury concerns then it doesn't make a lick of sense to trade up in the draft for a QB prospect with a significant injury history. Honestly, it doesn't make sense to take him at #7 if he's still there either.

The only difference would be cost (not moving up to do so).  It's a cheaper gamble on the rookie than it is the vet.  You could pick one without injury history of course but what would be the fun in that?

Opportunity cost is real though. We'll have to pass over a blue chip prospect at a position of major need.

I would classify a starting quality QB a major need.  Right now we don't have one.  We have two camp body's and a broken 5 year removed mvp who will never be the same.  We have a major need at QB.

I don't think the answer is a broken younger QB.

Not a fan of trading up for anybody in this draft.

If Burrow, Tua went 1,2, would you consider moving up for a player like Young? I look at him like Peppers, just head and shoulders above the rest.

It makes no sense for us to trade up for a QB  this year when we have we have alot more glaring holes needs besides QB on this roster!  No sense to trade up this year when we can have this guy in 2021!

Never said it was.  I just said they better find one ASAP.  If the plan is to count on Newton to be "healthy" (whatever that's supposed to mean) as your only option going into next season then it's a bad plan.

Not me.  Stay put and take the BPA.  This team is FUBAR and one player will not fix it.

Look at that, we got a doctor in the house.

When did you perform a physical on Cam Newton?

I think it'd cost more than I'd want to give up.

That's basically the same reason I'm not in favor of trading up for Burrow.

He hasn’t ... nor has anyone else yet. He still can’t pass one... which is kind of the point? 
 

I’ve been saying I see ya giving Cam another year. But he’s gotta get healthy. That’s the question mark. He’s had a long time to recover and he’s still basically been hurt for like 3 years now

He hasn't passed one because he's still rehabbing?

Yeah. For a long time now. That’s kind of the issue unfortunately
