Person pointed out that even if it does, they're in a very good position to trade back if someone else wanted to move into that spot and take a quarterback.

We could get them a 3rd or something along those lines and they'd basically be getting a pick for free with us taking a QB and then them taking whoever they would've taken at #7 at #8. #7 plus next year's 3rd is what the value chart says. #7 plus this year's 3rd would give them considerably over chart value.

Trading Teddy is going to require us giving up draft capital. I said this before the Stafford trade.

At this point it makes way more sense to keep him and draft a QB. Either way we can cut him next year without much worry. I worry way more about CMC and Shaqs contracts then I do about Bridgewaters.

Good trade for the rams

I know the team is gung-ho to get a quarterback this year, but I'm increasingly less convinced it's going to be possible to get a true quarterback of the future.

it feels like if we do acquire one, it's gonna be somebody around the quality of Mac Jones.

I'd honestly rather accumulate future draft capital and go after Howell or Rattler next year. Jones just ain't it. He's likely a Goff or Cousins at best.

The Rams haven't had a 1st round pick since 2016 yet they've had four consecutive winning seasons. That's the type of consistent success a Panthers fan could only dream about.

god forbid this organization ever does something like that the way this community beats off over panthers first round picks

That probably depends on two things, the first being how patient David Tepper is willing to be.

But the second, and more significant factor, what does Matt Rhule really think about Mac Jones?

One QB rumor down, one to go.

It's conceivable this one deal may have torpedoed both of them.

To the "But the Lions are going to draft our QB!!!!", crowd.   You can officially chill the heck out and pour an ice cold bucket of water over your heads.

Believe it or not, Adam Schefter says that's still possible.

What worries me more though is we thought that somebody else who wants a quarterback badly trades up with them.

A couple of different sources of pointed out that the Lions would be in a really good spot to trade down now.

Man don’t say that. I can’t stand another year of Trashwater under center. I am still positive the Panthers will trade up or get Lance.

San Francisco and Denver are the only two that come to mind unless someone comes from way back in the pack.  While both of those teams have "iffy" QB situations, they are not dire situations.  Both of those teams could just as likely go into 2021 with their current guy.

It's not an absolute that we go into another year with Bridgewater. Just we might not get a franchise guy.

It's also possible we get another bridge guy / reclamation project like Trubisky.
