As would I BUT we might not be able to get to 1. It won’t be for a lack of trying I can assure you of that. 

So now would you rather have LJ for 2 1st’s and a contract OR trade up to 2 or 3 in the draft for multiple 1’s and your second or third choice at QB?

Yeah thats a tough decision... If I knew Im not getting CJ then Im not making that trade and letting AR15 hopefully fall to me.

In other QB news - the Giants just paid Daniel Jones 4 years 160 mil, with another 35 available in incentives.  Jesus Christ All Mighty.

This is the dumbest thing I've ever seen an NFL team do. Imagine declining to pickup a guy's 5th year option and then after seeing him throw for only 3200 yards and 15 TDs deciding to give him that contract. LOLOLOLOL

But Fitterer isn’t in a position to sit and hope someone falls to him that’s the problem here 

This whole things is a mess… again

Pretty disingenuous to blame Cam's playing style for his injuries when both of his shoulder injuries happened on pocket passing plays.

True, but even the little hits from running add up. If you keep getting nicked for 1 HP damage on Run plays then you aren't going into the fight with a full pool of health in the passing game. Sooner or later you fail a saving throw and go down.

The 2 first round is not the problem is the ridiculous fully guaranteed contract.

 

If Lamar would take something like 2 years 100 mill I think plenty of teams would want him 

Exactly.  The draft capital is absolutely nothing for a player of Lamar's caliber.

The contract demands, especially the guaranteed part, should give anyone pause.

That being said, I'm still of the opinion that trading for Lamar is no more risky than drafting Young, Stroud, or Richardson.

I trust the current coaching staff to make the right call- I'm glad I don't have to make it.

And I will say this, after screwing around with Deshaun Watson and not resigning Hasson Reddick or Stephon Gilmore, they need to make a decision in whatever direction so that FA is not impacted by this.

Schoen and Daboll are considered smart guys but I don't get this either.

We don't have to offer him the fully guaranteed contract.

Why do you guys keep saying this. That's what his agent is saying to keep the price high. Doesn't mean he's not going to take a deal with lesser guaranteed money.

Offer him 190 mil guaranteed. That's much more than what the Ravens offered him 133 mil guaranteed. Don't overthink this people. Lamar is not saying pay me Watson or I won't play. He's saying give me something close to that.

And then all the Ravens have to do is match the deal.

We trade for Lamar we are the favorites to win the NFC.

 

Dude was in the AFC against those elite QB's and still won 75% of his games and did it with no weapons around him besides a TE.

 

You're crazy if you don't think Lamar would be the best QB in the NFC. He's proven. Whatever teams gets him just became a contender overnight.

I don't know about NFC favorites, but we would definitely be the overwhelming favorites for the NFC South, and top 3-5 in the NFC.

The issue comes down in my mind to the risk associated with the contract demands and injury history.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
