We need to be more realistic in these threads.

People need to realize you don't trade for a player, you trade for their contract.  Basically whoever trades for Adams is going to be trading for the chance to pay him 18-20 million a year.  Also I think he gets a first when its all said it done.  Under that criteria how many people say yet?

Personally I think he is one of the better defensive players in the league, and for some teams I wouldn't be opposed to giving up a first, I just don't think that is where we are at currently.

I mean...do you want us to end up in permanent franchise purgatory?

The original thread was made with no regard for the supposed teams Adams said he wanted to play for (not us), and the thought that the cap very well may go down next year.  The latter, could lead to some kind of purge of talent from all over the league to get under the cap.  The next couple of months could force teams to rethink A LOT about the next few years, and trading draft capital AND big money for a guy who may not re-sign here? When there's still a chance this season doesn't happen? Dumb.

Really needed another thread for this? Could have just responded in the other one how you feel.  But I guess that wouldn't give you enough attention.  As others have said, trading picks right now would be foolish

Adams is the only one who says yes. He gets paid more than top CBs as a safety, I’m sure he’d take that from any team in the league in a heartbeat.
 

Panthers aren’t trading their 1st unless it’s for a superstar under team control for several years at a position of high importance (and those guys get way more than a 1st).


Jets would want more—at least a 1st and 2nd, probably two 1sts.

      Comparing a random stat to another rookie QB has nothing to do with the current subject.  Tom Brady had a 6.0 YPA his rookie year.  I hope you're not using one stat to define success of a QB? It's not a problem to want him to do better based on where he was drafted although I still contend it doesn't matter after the fact.  It doesn't matter if we're talking about Cam Newton, Tom Brady, Russel Wilson or any other QB.  It makes little difference once you're in the NFL.  Nobody gets a ring for where they were drafted.   Higher draft picks will get a little more time in most cases as teams want to make sure they've exhausted all avenues before they admit a draft pick can't play.  Other teams might pick them up thinking it wasn't the player but the organization and/or other coaches that caused the player not to succeed.  It's people's expectations that are wrong.  If we could go back and redo all the draft and put guys in the correct draft spot based on how well they played in the NFL, that would be nice.  Then your argument would make some sense.  People assume that where a player was drafted is a statement on how good that player is when the reality is there is a lot more luck than skill in drafting. If Coker turns into a pro bowl receiver and XL becomes a bust nobody cares except fans and the media. What we really should say is it's not too much to expect a player who has started at QB for a team over the last 2 years to be better than he currently shows.   Don't compare 1st round picks.  Compare starting QB's in the NFL.

      Defense is turning around?

      By electro's horse · Posted

      They’re gonna have to go up against a real offense before any kind of judgement can be made of them.  Tlaw looks like damaged goods, Kyler is completely washed, and Penix….well…. they look better compared to last season but that’s what you’d expect with a healthy brown and horn.  I haven’t seen anything that indicates they’ll be considered an overall good defense when the dust has settled. 2002 it is not.
