Time to trade for a LT

As far as we can see, we may have stolen a Franchise QB from the NYJ... He is on his last two years of a rookie contract, why not go all-in and give some legit capital for a REAL LT?

I believed before the season our defense was Super Bowl contender caliber, our WRs and RB are clearly legit... The biggest ? was Darnold and O-line... Barring a complete collapse, Darnold's passed so far.

I don't care if we go 17-0, we saw in SB 50 what happens when you $ick around with $hitty LTs, if at the deadline Darnold looks solid, trade the damn 1st next year and the year after that and get us a LEGIT LT.

If Darnold is truly a franchise QB, those are valued at 2-3 1sts anyway, why would you not trade 2 picks (Where history shows 1 in every 2 or 3 is a bust anyway) and fix the only real damn problem with this team? Every year we had Cam, someone was trading capital for pro bowl LTs at the deadline while we sucked on our thumb and I'm sick of it... Quit worrying about Rookies and fix glaring problem we've had since Gross retired. 

Maybe it's just me, I would rather trade our next 2 1sts and a 2nd and know LT is fixed then worry about drafting a damn rookie. 

Don't let this line fool you, CMC is masking it's deficiencies at the moment, we need to fix this or Darnold will go back to his NYJ days... Time to quit waiting for rookies to save the day and have some damn balls.

If only I had thought of this.

Cam Erving did a good job today. 

He did his job the majority of the time.  That's about all you can expect. 

They all need to be much better in the run game however.  If CMC didn't have the ability to make something out of nothing the score could have been much closer.

Just go to the left tackle store. 

Sure, Kansas City and Houston went in 2019 and 2021 successfully and got LTs who both made the Pro Bowl in 2019 and 2020.

You say that as if no LT who has talent ever gets traded in the NFL lol. This logic is why Cam got murdered for 8 years here.

    • You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
    • Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
    • Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.
