No matter what the pick is they are drafting a qb in the first come hell or high water.  Would be nice to have their pick of all of them but they are getting someone.  I thought up until yesterday we would be in the pick 5 range but after hearing Wilks say that Eason may be starting, Darnold not ready and baker not the starter even if healthy seems to me shenanigans are afoot and I like it

What about that golden lion??

Echoed by Ben Allbright:

 

 

Nearly every source I've seen has said pretty much the same thing. They'll listen to offers like they always do, but they're not looking to unload a bunch of guys.

Wilks mentioned having discussed trade options with Fitterer and his presser.

In the end this is what is going to happen I believe.  We are 2 years minimum out from competing, why put cmac through that when we can get resources from him and put him in a better situation?

If either of these teams were to get CMC they would immediately be favored to win the AFC.  The game the other day was one of the best games all season.  Fun to watch Mahomes and Allen battle it out.

I wouldn’t take less than a low first and second or mid first and third for CMC. We’re more than a year from competing if our new QB takes time to develop and we get an old school defensive HC. We get a bright HC that hits the ground running and our QB is ready to produce early like Cam was or Herbert or some of the other young QBs, we’re ready to compete immediately.

Doubt it. Giving up first round picks for oft injured guys is a Panther move, not a move done by well run teams.

I agree but if you know its a later pick, and you know you are keeping him from another team and if you know he super charges an already super charged offense and he fits in your timeline for winning.  I can see a super bowl starved team doing it

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
