My man Lamar won MVP.

 

Im sorry but im ending this conversation you clearly just don't like Lamar the player. I can't take you serious when you are questioning a QB who has a MVP and is in the MVP conversation every year.

 

Have a nice day sir!

Its only money holding us back.Its not injury or scheme.We would take him if we could no doubt.He wants to get paid we cant pay him what he wants.He would be a great player for us no doubt.Reich would love to have him.

Just like Stafford right?

Just like Aaron Rodgers right?

Stafford wanted out. The Lions obliged him, but even then there were questions about his injury history (which have proven to be valid).

And yes, there will be plenty of questions about Aaron Rodgers 😄

Herbert about to get $50M per...... 20ish% of the cap.

IDK.....Lamar's injuries scare me and having a QB on a rookie deal is a blessing. If we give Lamar the $$ he's looking for, the team takes a massive roster hit with less money to spread around. 

Makes drafting and finding gems off the waiver wire and practice squads more important. By the same token, kinda hard to do when you trade three years' worth of R1 and R2 picks to acquire said asset.

Gonna say no thank you to Lamar in this situation. 
Lamar seems to be a mobile first type.  Maybe I am not as educated on his game as I could be, but that is what I see at first glance.
That isn’t a long term plan I want to get behind. 


But okay, he *was* MVP. So I want to hear more.  Now I look at what kind of extras the team will have to include like draft picks or players. I am starting to get a little negative. Then mostly negative. 

 Because before you get to the bottom line, there are the financial demands. The weight of which can sink the ship. 

I’d be hoping the Bucs or Saints ‘win’ this one.

That's kind of hard to say when the best skill position player at any time during your career has been the TE.  Really, Andrews has been the only player of note (except for maybe a receiver or two way past their prime).

Fair enough. I do remember that being the situation this year now that you mention it.  
 My 1st cuz is a Raven’s season ticket lifer, lives up there and uses his tickets. I should ask him what the scoop is, I bet it would be as good an answer as you could want from a non pro.  Will try to remember to ask him.

Legit wouldn't make the trade if they gave him to us for a conditional 7th round draft pick.

He's injury prone and only an average passer who is going to want a fully guaranteed contract that pays him as the top QB in the league, HARD PASS

Whatever team signs him to a long term deal, whether it is the Ravens or someone else, is basically guaranteeing they won't contend for a SB for the length of the contract plus 3-5 years after it as they struggle to deal with the cap implications and finding a new QB.

    • I hope Bryce balls out. Wouldn't bet the farm on it though. Morgan has to be practical though. He was placed into a situation where he was compelled to give Bryce a long look. There really haven't been any more practical options due to who has been available at the position. The Panthers had already put their chips in with Bryce, so putting more chips in by borrowing against the future and stacking on that by borrowing against the future without really having the requisite draft capital was a nonstarter. We could either dump Bryce and go dumpster diving for known and unknown JAGs at the position, or take out chances and let it play out with Bryce and hope for acceptable returns. Due to what looks like some good moves in the draft and free agency, it appears like we're finally getting into a position where we can take a swing again if need be without destroying the core of the team. I understand that you'll believe it when you see it, but Dan is gonna move on if Bryce can't cut it. There are too many professionals lives and careers tied to Bryce to simply accept the status quo. 
    • Football is the ultimate team sport. No sport is more dependent on others for your success - including coaching. I don't know if Bryce is the guy, but I do know this has been a very bad team all around since he got here. One of the worst o-lines and coaching staffs I've ever seen his rookie year. One of the worst defenses and receiving groups (including TEs) I've ever seen his 2nd season - with a rookie HC and OC. An improving WR group his 3rd season mostly due to a rookie. The only other WR of note didn't really play well until after the 10th game of the season due to injury. Still no receiving TE to speak of. And lost games because of the worst pass rush in the NFL. And the only speed he's ever had on the field was DJ Chark. A washed up DJ Chark that played here one year and has had 31 yards receiving since leaving.  Carolina had no business moving up for a QB in 2023. They weren't ready. Especially if it meant trading your only good WR to do it. Now finally there's potential on defense. Potential on o-line. Potential at WR, including some actual speed in a game where speed kills. If BY falls on his face this season, then he has to own it. Situation may not be perfect, but it's at least NFL average across the board. I won't beat him up for being bad in bad situations on a bad team. But a 4th year QB has to be able to control the offense and make players/coaches right. The team looks good enough on paper to show what he can do now.
