Which is what I said.

If he plays long enough. 

I don't want to lose him. It's not his fault he's payed what he is.

Yes I want a QB. We desperately need one. I just don't want to pay so much in picks to get Watson as what some of the rumors are. 

It'd be like getting a big ol house and not having furniture. 

Fng idiots just had to bring in Teddy last year. I knew this was going to happen. I predicted 5 games and told the world he would cost us Lawrence. 

 

If he plays long enough and if he stays productive

Or he could still be ticking ala Walter Payton and Adrian Peterson. 

I would say it's statistically unlikely. With the contract he has, we definitely need him to be that outlier or it is going to be one of those classic Panthers flubs. 

I would really like to not add any more to that pile. We have two more of them currently sitting on our books as it is(3 more if you count KK's dead money).

I think 2021 will be critical. If he can remain healthy, it will ease some of the pain of the price we will be paying.

Let's build our QB and Cmac a line.

Can you imagine what Cmac would do with our 2003 line?

fug that....can you imagine what our 2015 team could have done with our offensive line? 

CMC with that line still probably doesn't net many victories because he was mainly here while we have been poo(outside his rookie year). 

With that 2003 line on our 2015 team, Von Miller is stuffed, Cam Newton stays upright and we dust those motherfugers for a title.

Obviously. 

Hell I still don't think we loose in 03 either if not for the perfect storm of spygate/ko out of bounds.

That kick is the single worst choke we've ever had. It cost me a coffee table unfortunately.

That is probably better off being a programmed or database thing. It would probably choke Excel. 

I have been trying to learn python in my spare time (mostly for fantasy football purposes). I'm wondering if that could be utilized in some way to pull all necessary data and run queries.

The only truly safe bet to win in the NFL seems to be getting a HOF QB. Of the last 20 years, there are a few outliers, but getting the HOF QB seems to be the only truly universal truth. Even the games where the “lesser” team won, (and by “lesser” I mean the one without the HOF QB), the losing team did have a HOF QB that helped get them there. Seems like all other data points are arbitrary.

Arbitrary in what way?

And I would have been okay tagging him twice. At that point, you are likely past his prime and it's easy to move on. Then you take five relatively inexpensive years and have two expensive years(although less than his average contract now). Remember that CMC was a top 10 draft pick so he has actually been a top 10 paid RB in the NFL almost his entire career. That's a big downside of taking a RB in the top 10 like that.

I am not advocating for jettisoning him now. It would be detrimental to what we are doing. However, if he is banged up the next two seasons, I will be rattling sabers to cut him. We can't keep investing bad money in players that can't stay healthy(see KK). 

I agree. I think the double tag would have been in our best interest but then you also need to worry about a player like that holding out as they know whats up..

The other thing to consider when doing that is the opportunity cost of tagging him and not someone else. 

But in a vacuum this would be the best thing to do.

I wasn't really worried about the holding out an much as some of the fanbase was.

If he is holding out with 2 years remaining on his rookie deal(which already had him as a top 10 paid back), I start shopping him for picks. If he holds out when you tag him, then the tough choices have to be made.

He wasn’t going to hold out

The guy that sat out of a bowl game for the betterment of his draft status wasn't going to? so dont tell me he is 100% team. 

Just cause CMC is a nice guy doesnt mean he is not a good businessman. 

I wouldn't put the opportunity of him holding out at 0%.

That is a HUGE logical leap. It doesn't make any sense for these high round picks to play in those idiotic bowl games unless it is in the playoffs. Those things have forever and ever been completely meaningless. I never blame a single one of those kids for sitting out those bowl games. 

That is not a good example of him not being a team guy. I think it's possible he would hold out but absolutely no chance of that happening during his rookie deal. He really has almost nothing to gain by doing that. If he gets tagged, sure, I can see that.

Right. Im not saying he is selfish, but he is a business.

But getting tagged as a RB is about the worst position to do that to as the theory is to not pay or commit long term to them. So I agree he wouldn't do that during his rookie deal, if he got tagged I could see it happening. Regardless it didn't happen so we are debating a hypothetical situation that didn't happen lol

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO.

      Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
