Still Want to Upgrade -- Via Trade??

The big question is what, and or who, would we give up for a tackle?

Are there any WR needy teams out there that have excess tackles? Would they want Robby Anderson? Our receiver corp seems pretty damn deep this year, a guy that's good isn't going to make the final roster cuts, so maybe he's a pawn in the trade. 

Could we also be looking at dealing our first or third next year (we don't have a second)?

We're deep at veteran WR.  And our rookie WR Terrace Marshall looks like a stud that could (and should) handle more playing time.  So I'd guess the trade would be a vet WR for an LT.  

Maybe the Panthers will combine two problems into one:  trade Robby Anderson and let him do a contract extension with his new team ?

But what NFL team has so many competent LT they can afford to give one up ?

Please no bandaid trades. Only make a trade if it's for a player who is in the long-term plans.

Agreed. I hate using trades for short term fixes.

Reading between the lines, it sounds like the staff really doesn't want to move Taylor Moton unless they have to.

Moton himself seems fine with the idea, but I think the coaches worry about it being a "robbing Peter to pay Paul" situation.

Damn. The GM straight up saying, "we think we can do better than the guy we've got."

That's a refreshing departure from hearing about the answer being on the roster.

Even though that's the guy he himself signed... Bit of a double-edged sword there. I think there were better options out there like Reiff that really didn't cost much more than Erving. 

Regardless though we're here now and let's see how things shake out. Hopefully these risk/reward OL signings pan out.

A 35 year old OT feels like the definition of a bandaid.

I recall the same being said about Andrew Whitworth... Depending on what we'd have to give up I still think it could be an intriguing option. Could even slowly groom Moton to take over on the left side once he retired/moved on and then have Christensen at RT.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.

      Jones got projected as the next Eli because they share a similar goofball, on the spectrum energy.  That's my theory.

      I didn't think underrated was the wildest statement. The passing and offensive command he showed in week 18 against Atlanta was as good as any QB that has ever played for this franchise.  I mean THAT part is wild.  Which plays into the overrated part.  End of regulation I don't think he even hit 200 yards passing.  I mean he had a very efficient day vs a weak defense.   As good as we have ever seen in Carolina?
