Butler is a comp pick round higher and as long as we don't have more signed than lost, we should get it back.  Irvin going to Seattle should offset Burris' signing returning Vernon's pick to us.

Not yet. Signing Seth Roberts our Vernon’s pick back on the shelf. Irvin and Roberts basically cancel out. We need Van Roten to sign to get back Vernon’s and maybe a Cockrell or Williams signing to get McCoy’s but who knows those type of guys sigh after the draft when they don’t count. I’m hoping we get 2 of the 4 we would have gotten and I certainly don’t want to tie up almost Norwell level money for the guy who didn’t replace him well. Funny that so many people think Van Roten for $10M is a solid move yet Marty could have tried to just keep Norwell. I wonder how many hits Cam could have avoided and how much better Paradis and Daley would have been with an all pro LG in the lineup.

The Rams have signaled they're willing to trade both Todd Gurley and Brandin Cooks.

Cooks to me is one of those guys that people think could help someone win a Super Bowl, but he never does.

(I put Jimmy Graham in that same category)

Todd Gurley is an interesting comparison to Cam.  Teams will certainly be leery of possible lasting injury concerns and no one will take on that salary knowing that.

I could see Gurley released as well.

Cooks is a solid player but not a big difference maker.

Gurley just got released.

Dang

Man, damn. How dumb do the Texans have to feel now. Everyone was already joking them about that Hopkins for David Johnson trade. Turns out they could've had Todd Gurley for free just a couple of days later. LOL!

    • He has rarely been aggressive enough to be considered a gunslinger type player. The guy he is describing is Pat Mahomes-esque and I doubt any of us see that in Bryce.  When the play is breaking down or he bails on the play, how often are we really seeing him laser it into a tight window? How about scramble long enough to get someone breaking free and then hitting them? I remember that far less, although I am not sitting down to look at all 2.5 years of data, than I am checkdowns, throw aways, off target passes, scrambles, etc. 
    • Wow this is some crazy nonsense. First, he doesn't have problems picking up the ball on quick slants or screens, go back and watch the replays, you can clearly see him start to turn his head on those drops before the ball is in his hands, it's a concentration issue, not an issue of picking up the ball. Yes, it's 100% something he has to improve upon and it's still a knock on him, but you're making up a problem that isn't there, when the real problem that is there is a very correctable one and also one that is rather common for a player 6 games into his career and trying to do too much. After that, I genuinely don't understand what your point is in bringing up where he ranks in YPC, as if that's some indicator of his abilities.  Which, to begin with, he's not 31st, he's 26th (and that's before even factoring in the players above him with just a handful of catches, like Horn Jr with his 4 catches).  Then below him in that YPC ranks are guys like Chase, CeeDee, London, Tyreek, Waddle, Higgins, BTJ, Wilson etc, so I'm not sure what pointing out his ranking has anything to do with what kind of player he is or might become.  All of that before even looking how close he is to being much higher on the list because they're all so close together, he's 27 yards across 6 games shy from being in the Top 15. If you want to pick and choose stats, why not look at things like being 3rd in the NFL in catches of 20+ yards or 6th in the NFL in 1st down catches? And finally, no, just no.  He doesn't look far less pro ready than Egbuka, he's just in a significantly worse situation if you're just looking for a big statistical output.  Egbuka is playing with the current front runner for MVP, in a pass happy offense, where all their other pass catchers keep getting hurt, so of course he's going to be putting up big stats.  Swap those players and T-Mac might be leading the NFL in yards right now, not to mention would have just as many TD's as Egbuka does as well.
    • How about if you don't like my choice of content, then don't click on the thread? We're discussing the NFL, not Pee-wee football. Until we start having "great" games on a continuous basis, I'm going to continue to talk all facets of the team. Moreover, I haven't seen X have a "great" game yet. Just like I supported patience last season, I have become critical this season. If it hurts your feelings, it just hurts your feelings. I've been on this board longer than most of you, and I've been a fan of the Panthers since before they stepped on the field, so don't tell me how to fan.
