I don't know if we're actually trading Samuel but...

But I do know that it most likely won't be to the Eagles because they just traded for Marquise Goodwin from the 49'ers. Currently, the Eagles will have DeSean Jackson, Alshon Jeffery , Goodwin and youngsters Reagor, Arcega-Whiteside and Deontay Burnett. I don't see room for Samuels on their roster. Unless things change, we'll trot out Robbie Anderson, Pharoh Cooper,  Keith Kirkwood,  DJ Moore, Curtis Samuel and about 5 others including Seth Roberts.

The Packers could make a lot of sense if Samuel does end up being gone.  GB told Rodgers they'd get him weapons, and instead got his replacement.  If they can spin their "plan" was to get a somewhat proven WR over a rookie maybe Rodgers won't pout all year. 

Tom Brady is the only QB that pitches more of a bitchfit when its not goin good.  Rodgers has gotten such a pass for his  douchebaggery.  Its the type of diva nonsense people say about Cam except Aaron really does that poo.  I hate double standards.

As much as I hate Tom Brady, there's no way in hell he could ever match Aaron's pout power.

Why would the heck would we trade a key piece to our new offense. I’m not seeing it we didn’t in the draft we’re NOT depleting our offense this is Joe Brady’s first season I’m pretty sure he’s trying to start out with a bang. Think about a young Kyle Shannon or Sean M young offensive guru. He’s not getting rid of a dynamic playmaker who’s only knock is getting catchable passes. We didn’t even look at the offense in the draft because Brady probably said I can score 28 if you can get a few stops we’ll win. We have a electric playmaker in Samuels, best RB in the league. A true savage dog leader in yac in WR in DJ and a leader in yards per pass in RA. Who gets rid of key pieces with no replacement to start his nfl career. It doesn’t make sense we’ve beefed up our O in free agency. And then addressed our d in the draft. Now with good coaching we can win 10 games based off our opponents maybe less hopefully more but our offense was strong last year I’d expect a much stronger showing with TB. Our d was ass we should be average atleast on defense which plays out to be a pretty good team

Being a douchebag is what cost Rodgers being the #1 overall pick.

We didn’t draft a WR, Samuel isn’t going anywhere. The drop off behind him is huge. If you want 3 WRs on the field, Samuel is it. None of the other WRs is close in talent. Seth Roberts is 29 and hasn’t ever eclipsed 500 yards or 5 TDs. Cooper is a returner and has 243 yards and 1 TD as his best. Kirk wood has 13 career receptions. Every other WR is an UDFA. It’s laughable that people still think in Brady’s offense that we’d trade our only real WR3. Samuel is so much more talented than everyone except Moore and probably on the same level as Anderson. He’s not going anywhere if the staff thinks we can compete. Also, the rest of the WRs is why I think Bayless has a great shot of making the team if he’s decent.

I agree wholeheartedly, but Samuel was rumored to be in trade talks entering the draft.

Now that the draft is over, the front office talk needs to be on re-signing him in advance of 2021 offseason, not trading him. He's only 23 and was sorely underutilized under the RR regime. Brady will use him properly and I can see a lot of motion with confusing defenses w/ Samuel and CMC out of the backfield. 

Samuel is about to blow up and we need to not be in another Bradberry situation this coming offseason.

    • What's up gents, the OGs remember me, the guy who single-handedly gave the Panthers the greatest uniform in history moniker. Not too long after that I got involved with Pro Football Focus (pre-Collinsworth acquisition) and ended up taking backseat here to preserve some objectivity. But from a distance I noticed a lot. After the end of the Cam era this place devolved into the most un-fun, petty, negative cesspool of whining and bitching that has ever graced the internet. The worst part of it all is that the level of discussion turned into the most ill-informed, hot-take, unnuanced crap, rife with people talking out of their posteriors as if they have any clue about what they are watching. Once you get into the professional side of the sport and actual film rooms, you start to understand there's an absurd number of moving parts to pretty much every snap and the details you are privy to are truly only half the picture. The absolute most important thing I learned from being part of professional level football analysis is that quarterbacking is literally the most intricate and difficult position in all of professional sports, and that the NFL itself is struggling to develop any workable model that allows them to understand what makes one succeed vs what makes one fail. Because of this paradox it has also made the quarterback position itself grossly overvalued from a fan and media standpoint, creating an absurd fixation on the results delivered by a single player who has to rely on the contributions of everyone around them. This also drives the dreaded inflation of QB salaries that inevitably cause even elite teams to lose key talent all to pour cash into the one player supposed to be able to single-handedly elevate the entire team (and defense and special teams and coaching and ownership by some mysterious proxy), yet without those same players even talented teams can wander the wilderness searching for the right guy to take advantage of their talent window. The discussions the last few years around Bryce has personified this insanity, as this board has devolved into some sort of electronic civil war between the hyperbolic Young supporters and the vitriolic Bryce haters. The reality, like practically everything in this world, is somewhere in the middle. He has traits that can absolutely elevate a team with creativity, play recognition, off-arm angle throws, mental toughness, etc. He's also physically limited, with mostly "good-enough" qualities for most situations that a professional quarterback is asked to do, and will never be an overpowering physical force like pre-injury Cam. But "good-enough" physicality represents a large majority of championship-winning quarterbacks, even in the modern era. There's a reason the corpse of Peyton Manning took the chip from elite physical specimen Cam, because the team surrounding him was talented enough to get him there, while we all know Cam was the driving force of that 2015 team. That's no knock on him, that's just how the game of football tends to work: the more complete team usually wins. The summary is this: if this team lives or dies solely on the performance of its quarterback, then it is absolutely a paper tiger even if he plays brilliantly week in and out. There are no superheroes in this sport, there are only conduits that proxy the collective efforts of much of the team around them. And no one alive can tell you how the position is played perfectly, it's all a confluence of circumstance and what unique collection of traits each player brings to the position, which can never be truly recreated season after season, even for the same player on the same team. If this place remains a raging hellscape of idiotic hot takes I will happily remove myself again and do something more productive for yet another decade, but maybe's there hope that we can all get back to the old adage, and keep pounding.
