How much is too much to trade?

As he should. Our team is in win now mode. Even if we don’t have every piece in place for a title run, we current have the best roster and coaching staff in the division and I’m not sure it’s close. I think Stroud or Young could lead this team to the playoffs, maybe beyond, in year one.

This staff has an expiration date on it and the quicker they get their hands on the guy the faster the process is IMO.    McNown, staley, brown and frazier are all candidates to be poached as well as the dc

100%. You aren't keeping good assistant coaches for long. They'll get promotions elsewhere if things go well.

I was personally a little concerned with Bryce Young not throwing at the combine. I mean why not are you worried your arm isn’t as strong as the other guys?  

Or he didn't wanna take the hoodie off and show off his 204 body. Either way weird

what are you talking about 

the teams sitting at 6 and 7, right now, are potential landing spots 

if they want a franchise QB they’re going to take one, again, to reiterate, nfl teams don’t undervalue the QB position like many posters here do

Teams drafting in the top 10, most often, don't have an elite QB.  That has been the case for a long time, not just this year.  

Bad teams make bad decisions. There will be mistakes made ahead of us. Take advantage at a cost of something less than 3 years of number ones. 

Everyone here wants a QB.

Going by the draft value chart

 

The difference between pick 3 and 9 is 850 points

Pick 39 for us holds a value of 510 points
Pick 61 for us holds a value of 292 points.

 

Both 2nd and our 4th will be 18 more points on the Value scale than the difference of 3 and 9
 

 

Just our 2 2nds this year comes close to the difference in value without taking future 1sts

I hate the idea of giving up future draft picks, absolutely. However, if the brain trust we have in charge agree on someone that could be a franchise quarterback for the next decade I would do what it takes. You would gave a quarterback on a less expensive pay scale for 4/years. That would allow you to sign some quality free agents. They are hard to find, but there are some lower draft picks that turn out to be finds as well. Let’s face it, franchise quarterbacks put fans in seats.

That doesn't take into account the possibility of a bidding war for the #3 spot.

It’s definitely something you have to think hard about, if you’re the front office. You get a lot of cheap talent with first rounders. But like you said, we need fresh blood at QB to be excited about and we have a window to win right now. Who knows how long that will be open in our division. Or in a broader sense, the NFC.

No fuging way he is 204 when his pro day rolls around.   Everyone knows the game and like you say, when I bring him in to visit his ass is getting on a scale

Which is why the whole Combine process for him was silly.

He should have just gone there and done every drill. "Here's what I am, pigeon-hole me how you want".

He's not tricking the system by turning up 20lbs above his playing weight for a week.

The scrutiny is puzzling to me.

Point 1- Around "average when put on a radar gun" See below:

Point 2: Seems like a dick: The first thing he does is compliment the players that came out for the workout, thanks them and talks about how he hopes good things for them. Then he talks about how great Sam Burrow is and what he wants to work on to improve.

Meanwhile, AR (Who I really like) comes out and says he has a better arm than when Cam Newton came out.....

Richardson has the best arm in this class and I don't think it's really even close.

Yep. If he is fudging his weight somehow, he won’t pass the eye test.

    • You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
    • Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
    • Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.
