Remember it is also the last year of his rookie deal. So it would be a 2nd round draft pick for a one year rental.

Say we trade for him and take his rookie contract.  Can we select to use the option.  He is a 1st round pick.  I'm not sure if the option year is still available if he is traded.  That's why I said 2 years.  But if not your right 1 year rental.  

That said I probably wouldn't cough up more than a 3rd.

He was overdrafted and looked so bad that he lost out on the backup position to a guy who wasn't drafted at all.

Are you thinking of Deshone Kizer? Because this is Jordan Love's rookie season without a preseason. Pretty sure he's not done much wrong yet....

No, I'm thinking of Love, and he's definitely not done anything that makes me think he's worth trading for.

So you expected a rookie in a season which lacked a training camp or preseason games to beat out Aaron Rodgers and start in the first game, or be good enough to replace him during his MVP season?

Woof. High bar.

I'm not sure how you can make a judgement on a guy who hasn't even had an opportunity to play in the NFL. He may have been overdrafted, but he was still a first rounder. He has the athletic ceiling of Lance without having to spend nearly as much capital. Even Lance only has a sample size of one college season and at a much lower level. If you can consider Lance an option, surely Love is no worse?

If I'm gonna trade for him, I need a reason.

"He might be good" isn't a reason.

Surprise? We got girls playing NCAA football.  We got Tom Brady talking about playing past the age of 45.  

we pulled Vinny T off the couch at 44 years old.  I see nological reason why we don't bring in a 46 year old Jake Delhomme off the horse farm.  That arm has had a lot of rest.  Plenty of time for Jake to of defeated Tommy Jone.    

Hell yeah.  Jake has been out there muckin stalls for the last 10 years.  Hes probably good to go.  Lets try and sign Smitty and Moose again - really get the band back together.

I would think that's self evident. He is young on a cheap rookie contract (no risk), would probably cost at most a mid round pick and has upside. Of course it's not guaranteed. This is a thread entitled surprise QB, not dead certainty saviour of the franchise suggestions. You're welcome to feel however you want and you may be correct, but my suggestion isn't unreasonable. Sorry that it offends you so. You must be fun at parties

"Young and on a cheap contract" probably describes a dozen or so backup QBs around the league plus a few starters.

Frankly, it's a pretty low standard.

I can't follow your logic. On the one hand you hate the idea of acquiring someone who 'might be good.'

So I guess you must hate the draft

On the other hand, because bad quarterbacks exist on teams (known quantities at the NFL which Love isn't) that is enough to persuade you that he will never amount to a hill of beans.

If he sucks and he might, you cut him. Costs you a mid rounder for the trade. To me that looks better than TB.

But look if you want to hold out for Deshaun you may be setting yourself up for disappointment.

      FLA showed everyone it’s not about superstars. they bullied the best line in the NHL into obscurity. they played hard, were in the right positions, and ran over everything that got in their way.

      That’s really not what you said and when I even expressed doubt as to your intentions with the post you doubled down and remained unclear on whether you were trying to drag Dean Smith for whatever reason. You just got the facts wrong, which if you don’t follow the local college programs like you say then maybe you just were mistaken and thought Smith didn’t win championships or have legit superstars, and that is ok, but you just doubled down when my first post was more corrective than anything. I’m not sure what you expect posting objectively false things like “RBA has a lot of wins with nothing to show for it like Dean Smith” (paraphrasing) on a message board with plenty of UNC fans. I’m not taking it as a personal affront, we can agree to disagree, Dean Smith’s legacy fortunately will not be affected by this conversation. Screw the (Florida) Panthers?

      Bring in the free agents and trades.  Florida is the best team and unless Tulsky makes it happen, it’s more of the same…which isn’t bad…but it’s time to win a goddamn cup.
