Zach Ertz


Smithers

Recommended Posts

Eagles have made it clear they won’t extend him after this season.  He got into a huge argument with the GM this week on the practice field and voiced his frustration.  Had a good game today but a crucial drop at the end of the game.  
 

He is only 30 and one hell of a football player.  It wouldn’t shock me to see the Eagles try and trade him early on.  Would you give up a 4th or 5th rounder ?  Hell I would.

Ertz is still a good player and would definitely be an asset to our passing game.

 If we can sign him to a reasonable multi-year deal after the trade it would definitely be deal worth considering.  I'd hate to give up a draft pick only to see him walk at the end of the season.  I wonder what his contact demands are.

He’s under contract for 2021 as well. I’d definitely trade a day 3 pick for him. Great TE, receiving and blocking. I think it would take more than that though.

Zach Ertz thread doesnt get moved but Cam threads do?? HMMMM

Perhaps because this one is discussing a player potentially (if only minimally so) joining the team at a position of need. Cam is not on the team and will not be; his current performance is not Panthers-relevant. If Cam ends up involved in anything Panthers-relevant, say makes comments about Carolina or his charitable work I'm Charlotte, I bet that is left here.

On topic I could see Philly moving Ertz but I don't think a Day 3 pick will do it. He'd be a solid addition assuming that his attitude is good but perhaps TE isn't a position of emphasis in this new offense.

Would not give up more than a 5 or 6, because he is going to command a pretty large extension. 

 

I think smart money is on us holding pat and letting our books clear. Regardless if we move forward with Teddy or a rookie QB next year our QB position will be relatively cheap. That's when you go all in and spend like crazy putting a team around them. Ertz or another decent tight end may be available at that point anyways.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
