I’m fine with letting him walk too. My point like others in this thread... it’s not hard finding productive RBs in the league. Super star QBs like Watson are harder to find and are a hell of a lot more important.  

I'm not a fan of paying RBs, but there's a handful in the league that you do.

McCaffrey is one of those - he's a mismatch player. Unbelievable receiver out of the backfield (he could absolutely play Slot WR if he wanted to) and a home run threat every time he carries the ball. 

We'd have won a couple more games this year (easily) if he was healthy.

He was the only reason we won any games last year. Without him on the old staff we go 0-16 easy. This year better staff better overall team we almost beat the DEFENDING SB champs because of him. If he would’ve been healthy the entire year we’d have been a playoff team over the Bears. Please tell me I’m wrong. We lost 8 games by a score or less CMC changes that in a heart beat. Why would we want to give up him plus more to be in negative equity for a rebuild. All we need is two good drafts, some dead money to fall off the books, smart FA signings and guess what we are right back in there. Bringing in Watson will be like what we did to Cam but worse. I swear some of you guys are the reason this fan base is looked upon as foolish. Y’all already let almost half the stadium fill with other teams fans. Now you want to give away our future to get your black whipping boy to blame for the next shortcomings for the franchise. Just stop, please. 

Revisionist history, he was force fed to get 1k x 1k.  The games we won was because the defenses hadn't figured out our QB, soon as they did we couldn't win any more.  CMC couldn't put this team on his back and win.

All this is true, I’m not sure your point? Subject isn’t questioning CMC, his worth, and his contract. The subject is would you trade Watson for CMC. Would be an easy yes for me.

I'd trade my Alfa Romeo for a Ferrari too.

Doesn't mean the Ferrari dealership would accept that trade. The Texans will want A BOATLOAD of picks if Watson forces their hand. They're not looking to take on expensive contracts, not when they're already eating Watson's dead money.

What makes anybody think Watson wants to come here with a busted O-line and the absence of the best weapon we’ve had in Carolina since Steve Smith? QBs salivate at the notion of handing off or passing to a guy like CMC. He makes them look that damn good. Stop with the nonsense.

I'm not talking about him wanting to come here or the current state of our o-line etc. I'm talking about the career positional value of Watson vs CMC. Both are upper end of their respective positions, but the QB position is by far more valuable than the RB position. IF I was forced to choose between having Watson OR CMC, I would choose Watson based solely on the likelihood his career would be longer and the value of a franchise QB exceeds that of a franchise RB.

I already said as much in this thread....

I mentioned it because people seem to think the only way we could pull off a trade is to give up our biggest asset. QB is the most important position in football but you don’t trade your best weapon leaving your new franchise QB without a future HOF weapon.

It’s hard to get through to dumb people.

      Hes Short as Hell but Man I Like This Kid

      Like I said before, I don't get the "only as a UDFA" sentiment, you have to keep following your board. Now if Pavia falls to what amounts to the supplementary UDFA section of the board, that's great, but if he's sitting at the top when you're picking day three (yes, I can't see him being drafted before day three), then you pull the trigger. Rounds 5-7 don't generally provide keepers anyway, you can use them for players that you want to take a closer look at that you may be able to develop.  Pavia may not translate to the pros. Nobody would bet anything of value on it. But, he was highly productive in college due to his play extension abilities, "body torque" mechanics on short and intermediate throws, and good accuracy on said throws. And, he has that dawg in him to be sure.  All that being said, Drew Allar will probably be able to be had on day three, and if it comes down to it--due to nothing but my prejudice against short, weak-armed QBs--I'd pick Allar.

      Yeah, receivers contracts are crazy, and it's probably not going to change. You almost have to take your swings--keep some picks at WR churning between rounds one through three in order to keep your costs down and give you options at contract time. Creating that value surplus appears to be more important at WR and all the premium positions than getting a non-premium position player who generally are just easier to replace as it pertains to value. The holy grail is to hit on a premium position late, but due to the gradually declining hit rate on days one and two that drops off a cliff day three, you basically have to get lucky.

      Very interesting indeed. It did make my head swim more. It said a lot, but it still didn't give any concrete answers. Kinda makes me want to pivot back towards a premium position though...
