CBS has a trading for Stafford. They don't say everything we give up other than a 2nd this year. 

In this scenario, I am envisioning Carolina trades for Matthew Stafford. Detroit picks up a second round pick after parting with theirs in the trade up for Justin Fields. Kyle Pitts comes in to give that offense another mismatch.

Stafford is a good QB with 3-5 years on a playoff ready team, we have playoff ''potential'' but we are not playoff ready. We also do not have the cap to extend Stafford as he is going to want an increase in pay considering he's in the low 20's from an annual compensation standpoint. 

Trading for Watson, or Stafford is more than the loss of picks, it will also be a loss of substantial cap space, and we already have some of our own higher end guys to pay over the next 1-3 years. Moton, Moore, Burns, all of those contracts are either here or on the horizon and they won't be cheap, not to mention the holes we will need to fill in free agency; OL / DL / LB / DB depth. 

Makes more sense to trade up if needed, or draft the QB at 8 and have a talent at QB on a rookies pay scale allowing you to keep the bulk of the team strong for the next 5 years since 1st round picks have a 5th year team option.

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      I saw an interesting point the other day about our type of situation.  It could have been wise to hold him off for 1-2 weeks, but that would not have anything to do with Bryce and you could easily communicate that from a PR standpoint.   Why? Well, we just brought an entirely new staff into town, new offense for the returning OL, and had wholesale turnover elsewhere.  So just run Dalton out there the first game or so to see how things are shaking out.  Dry run to make sure we won't kill the kid.  We weren't eyeing the SB.  Get a sense of the line, the receivers, the playbook.  It gives you a glimpse of what Bryce would be stepping into and a good barometer on where things stood sans him.  I suppose we sort of did that with Dalton, but that was a reactive switch and like @Ricky Spanish mentioned, it was against an injured SEA defense where we threw a ridiculous amount.  Who knows, maybe we could have at least won a game or two more that way.  You can adjustments prior to Bryce stepping in, better tee it up for him, and maybe we end up winning game 1 or 2. Last year was such a sh*tshow.  One of the worst seasons I've ever experienced in any sport for any team.  Absolutely nothing made sense together.  Happy we cut the cord early, but should have never hired that crew in the first place.

      Johnson is gonna want $20M+ next year. That's why they should have drafted Ladd.

      It's like folk didn't even watch the game. Dalton took a beating, and barely avoided a lot more violent hits. No 35 years old QB is going to survive a season like that. Imagine him against Dallas or Houston or Indy or Detroit or New Orleans twice! He played better than Bryce in that 1 game, but he wouldn't have lasted half the season.
