yeah, that or take Darnold in an even swap--no picks.  I'd put him on a gag order and send him to some leadership academy for kids with Napoleonic complexes.

Even in a even swap I don't want his contract.

This FO needs to lay off of the QB crack for this year. You haven't been doing QB'ing right for a few years now. Take a break, sit back an assess the rest of your roster. Put the lighter down and walk away. It will be alright. You had the opportunity to grab one in last years draft and didn't. I have the 800 number if you need it.

Lol!!!! What qualifies anyone to say anything about anything? Robby sure is running his mouth these days. Everyone including you has an opinion about sh*t and posts it on this board. What a brain dead comment.

Side note the height of his profession? Did you watch Robby this year? If that’s the height of his career then YIKES

I said the height of his profession. He’s a starting WR in the NFL. The most successful sports league in this country. What do you do exactly?

They make some really good points but why in the hell would we do a sam for Baker straight trade now? 

I think they were bringing up the possibility of Watson having legal entanglements down the road. But yeah, it doesn't make a lot of sense

I'll take baker for darnold straight up all day.  I might keep a little of darnolds salary to make that happen.

Baker is simply better than Sam and would give us the ability to take Corral slow.  Baker is gonna be mad and playing for his career and presumably healthy.  If baker lights the world on fire and we are left with two good options, that is a much better problem than what we've had previously.  If not, we would be out nothing.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
