I think the long term key is really Christensen.  If he can become even a league average LT (not outstanding, just OK) then we could have something to build on.  

That's especially true if Michael Jordan continues to play well.  Last game he was a PFF 75 score, which is really good.  He could be the answer at our LG spot.

With the first round draft pick the Panthers could select either a LT (if available) or the best interior lineman in the draft (C or G) who would be an instant starter.  

All of that could be enough to get some decent OL play for next season.  

But Christensen needs the reps now so he can make his mistakes and learn from them this year.  The second half of the season is crucial for his development.

That's what no one is talking about.  Everyone is treating Cam as the savior that's going to rescue our season and everything is going to be awesome, and I certain hope that's the case and I'll be pulling hard for Cam.  

That said, he may get behind center and he gets blown up and end up running for his life and it turns into a poo show.  He's obviously more mobile than Sam but it's going to be interesting how this turns out....

It will be interesting all right.  We have the same team except for one position. A worse o line than last week, same sorry ass OC, half ass special teams, and limp dick Rhule heading it up.  I don't see Cam in his prime doing much to change the season for this bunch of losers,  let alone Cam as he is now.

When Mike White for the Jets had his big passing day recently (405 yards) he got rid of the ball in 2.5 seconds on average.  So even behind the New York's suspect Oline (which is as putrid as ours) White had few to no problems with their protections.

That's Sams biggest issue and part of the reason for the drops. Waits too long til a guy is obviously open, then has to throw a dart that's like 1-2 feet off target. Defenses straight making fun of us on the field

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.

      Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?

      Bro I don't mind debating you, but did you really have to write all that to get your point across.   This isn't Madden. If you have the #1 pick you literally control your own destiny. If nobody wants to trade which I have a hard time believing they won't then you obviously take the best QB.   I think we will have suitors. If that's Madden then so be it.
