What are you offering to beat out the Dolphins or Jets if they want him.

 

Dolphins have 3, 18, Tua, and can offer future 1st

Jets have 2, Seattle's  1sts for 2021 AND 2022, and can off their 1st for 2022, and Darnold 

 

 

Now what are you beating that with?

You can only hope they don't wanna trade him within the AFC

To win and be a regular contender you have to have a franchise QB. It is rare for a team without one to be good year to year or make a SB appearance. That said, there is no guarantee any of the QBs in this draft outside of Lawrence are sure fire franchise QBs. It is a gamble. Watson is proven and young. I say get it done.

Yeah, if Watson wants to go to the Jets it's a wrap. They're one of the teams best positioned with trade ammo.

This. We literally replaced about 80% of his production with a cheap free agent. Not a knock on CMC, he's absolutely the best RB in football. The position itself is just replaceable. 

The only players we should be hesitant to part with are DJ, bc he's super young and cheap atm and Deshaun would need someone to throw to, and Burns, bc he's also super young and cheap atm somebody has to play defense and he's special at a premium position. Everyone else should be on the table. 

For the record,  McCaffrey had 2392 scrimmage yards and 19 tds in 2019.

Mike Davis had 1015 scrimmage yards and 8 tds in 2020.

You may have meant 40% when you wrote 80%.

I'm not saying dollar for dollar it's the best investment but let's not ignore all of McCaffrey's value as a player. I'd love to see what he can do with a good qb in our new scheme.

My bad. Doesn't really change the point though, we found a way to produce at the position with cheap options and he was hurt all year, proving that RB is super volatile. I also said CMC was special and the best in the game. Not underselling him, just wondering if that investment might impede an opportunity to grab a franchise QB. Thats a fair question.

We can get a new RB in round 4 or 5 and do RB by committee. Our running game did ot suffer much with Davis instead of CMC. CMC is not a guy that is going to win tons of games for you. He is a nice piece to have if you are ready to compete for a super bowl.

We are not ready to compete for a SB so that’s why he won’t come here.

Sadly that's the case. The Jets actually would be the ideal trade partner. With the 2 pick and the extras, the Texans could draft their future QB or request Darnold as part of the trade or both. Saleh has his QB and is good and has the foundation of a good oline. Those 2 are a perfect trade match. 

Sadly, here we are with 2 contracts we never should have signed with TB and CMC and are sitting I  cap strapped hell when an opportunity really presents itself. Thanks Marty, you're the best.

I'm sure the Texans would prefer to move him out of the AFC, but if the Jets have a better offer, moving him to a non-divisional AFC team wouldn't be a terrible option. Miami is the only other team that has that type of draft ammo and...they're also in the AFC.

I mean if we miss out on him to NYJets or Miami but still find a way to keep all our young guys and find a QB going forward like the original off-season plan suggests, I'm fine with that. We can work with that. But man, if Hurney giving a big RB contract is the one thing that kept us from getting the young QB2 in the entire NFL, that's just some chef's kiss poo right there.

Plus they have Brian Flores.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By SCMunnerlyn1 · Posted

      Just as we won those close games we could have just as easily lost them. So the jury is out on if we were more lucky than good ( see the sweep by the saints) Were moving forward on paper. And how badly dont we all want to see us back to at least Above average form. Its about time.

      Ranked Panthers as the Best this year!!

      If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
