And anyone saying look at his 2020 season when they went 4-12. That defense was the worst in the league and they still only lost by 8 points or less for the majority of those games because of deshaun. This after trading their best wr for a second round pick. He still put up 5k total yards and 35 tds. Dude technically isn’t even in his prime yet. Still has room to grow.
 

this defense is good and even elite at times and are built to play with a lead. We have enough pieces on defense and skill players on offense right now. Only thing we’d need to do this upcoming year is figure out a way to get one or two FA olineman so it’s not a complete mess. But I even think DW is one of the few qbs who could make the line work like joe burrow. He is elite inside and outside the pocket.

We are not a quarterback away from competing.

Depends on what is given up. We’re a QB and an OL away imo. Trade 1st rounders. Sign Cam Robinson or Armstead when they inevitably become free agents. It’s a giant risk that could be problematic in the future but the reality is that QB covers up ALOT of roster problems. You have a good QB…you can have a mediocre RG and LG. The Panthers defense is in place. It’s solid and is the defense of a contender. We need a QB. We need an OL. 
 

The other option imo is to blow it up. Trade CMC, Burns, Brown and try to get as many day 1-2 draft picks as possible and let Fitt start building for the next coach.

We are not going to be able to afford Watson and Armstead

The only point that concerns me is the last one. If his legal stuff is straightened out the rest are irrelevant. He apparently didn’t waive his trade clause to us because of Miami. He wanted to go there and that’s not happening anymore. 
 

point b is nonsense you can make the contract work for next year. As far as c we absolutely could field a competitive team and this isn’t just about next year. It’s about the next decade plus. 3 firsts is actually 2 because deshaun would be our pick at #6 this draft. You’d be getting a known 25 year old elite franchise qb. Wouldn’t be us gambling on an unknown qb in the draft because dw already is a known. 
 

the debate shouldn’t be about it making sense. It does make sense. The debate should be if this path is better than another path. Do we have a better chance at building up the team and securing a legit elite qb within the next five years or do we have a better chance with deshaun without two first round picks in that same time frame of five years? 

 

How?  How can you make his contract work because from what I am looking at and with who we need to sign there aint no damn way we can absorb his deal

Realistically the only teams that couldn’t afford those contracts are the teams that are over the cap. Everyone else could make a move here or there. Convert money to bonus yada yada and make it work. The Rams have been doing it for years.

There are ways to make it fit with how you structure it. Don’t look at this as a single year either. This is a long term acquisition. We don’t need to sign another corner to a long term deal when we have 3 young corners with talent on rookie deals. and either trade burns or don’t resign reddick. I wouldn’t keep both if we did this.

An elite QB solves a lot.   Pair that with good coaching? We would at least be a winning team.  

Need an OL to actually compete for a championship and matter. 

Watson doesn’t want to come here.  So we might as well quit talking about him.

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
