Do you want Deshaun NOW?

[Waldo]

No. Not for the cost, not under this braintrust of fart blossoms and not for a guy who I will never cheer for. Just no. 

I want to watch Chinn hit Watson, not get traded for him. 

 

[Lets go get it Canes]

Trade CMC for a 1st. We now would have 2 picks. Pick a lineman and Qb. Boom problem solved. Get a first for Moore, grab another lineman.

"Don't Go Shopping At The Grocery Store When You're Hungry"

Panthers  ( David Tepper ) are very hungry for a franchise QB .  He's patient enough to get one through the draft  but is there a franchise QB in this draft ?  probably not . We've also seen since seeing the QB's in this years combine,  teams in search for a QB ( Denver , Washington )  have traded for a veteran because this years draft on QB's , just isn't that good,

So the talk is 3 first round picks.  plus other "stuff "  ..   This years first round pick, in a trade for Watson is a no brainer.  But the next two first round picks is where the tire hits the road. 

Year	Team	CMP%	YDS	TD	INT	Rating
2020	Texans	70.2	4,823	33	7	112.4
2019	Texans	67.3	3,852	26	12	98.0
2018	Texans	68.3	4,165	26	9	103.1
2017	Texans	61.8	1,699	19	8	103.0

 

Those stats are that of a franchise QB (  top 10 QB ) 

We can draft a QB the next two years and not have someone with stats like that. 

Or we can trade for a Kurt Cousin  or Jimmy Garoppolo etc  and not stats close to that. ( not to mention we have a Sam Darnald as a back up )  So we'll have a QB like this or a QB from this years draft. I don't think either choice is a potential franchise QB ..

So on paper he's worth it.    How much more they trade in the deal is much more debatable.  
CMC is my current favorite player.  But he's also the player with the potential value.  I don't want to have to include any of our young defensive  players.  Shaq Thompson might still have some value and I'd trade him.
