This is intriguing....surely speculation, but what if. Get a little bit back from HOU to make sure they get "there guy" while we still get ours. 

No guarantee that HOU doesn't just take who they want, but if they REALLY want Young and we bluff it enough, they could take the bait. 

you have a open mind and see this......trying to reason with others on this, given the tiny likelihood, its open season........

IDK why some people from the media and on this forum keep counting this years 1st when we swapped.

We only gave up a 1st, 2nd (2) and a player on the last year of his rookie deal. This was an absolute steal to move up 8 slots for the top selection of QBs!!

The Bears had a good reason--they have a ton of cap room, and Fields is in year 3, his "make or break" year.  They needed a player now, not in 2025.  The Panthers, on the other hand, need cap space and, frankly, would never get a first round draft pick in a trade for Moore--maybe a second or third.  I They have some young WRs who could be turning the corner (Marshall, Smith) and I think they will add one in the draft and in free agency.

To give his input to rhule and help run scouting and the draft preparation, but make no mistake Rhule had 100% roster control as it was in his contract. 

Scott Fitterer absolutely deserves a large helping of blame for the miserable failures he and Rhule cooked up. Fitterer pined for Darnold and gave up so many picks, he had to trade one excellent player to recoup them.

Then he traded another excellent player to move up, only to move down and pick the fourth- or fifth-best QB in the draft. Now there's only one excellent player left, and he's gotta go soon, because his talent is stinking up the roster.

He was extended. There's three years left on his deal.

You need to be dismissed.

    • Same, bro.  Yeah, it just feels it has run its course and I don’t know that we’ll ever get more value.  Plus, with the new ownership, this draft has been super encouraging, so dare I believe maybe this FO can get something to really put us over the top in return for Melo.  I’ll still be a fan of his game and try to keep up with him if we move on, but yeah, I feel it’s time to turn the page. (and side note: I felt so happy after their rookie years because I told everybody I wanted Melo and didn’t trust Ant.  And Melo clearly looked like the better player early…  I thought Ant would bust because all that stuff he said about not loving the game and just his resume to that point…  but damn, if we could go back in time.🤣🤣🤣. I love Ant’s game and at times, when he gets in the zone, he is THE BEST player in the league in my opinion.)
    • Appreciate that, bro!  And I could definitely see that with Cam.  Even though he’s a little younger than me, he is also someone I admire and feel a kinship with for a lot of various reasons. Funny enough, a few years after that encounter with Steve, I went to Charlotte with one of my friends whose brothers owned a moving company at the time.  He dropped me off uptown and went to work the day with them where I would wait until he got done and then we were gonna go to the Bobcats game that night.  So I walk all through that area for hours.  After awhile, I walk back towards the arena and sit in a bench on the backside of the arena, where the practice court and player’s entrance was.  As I’m sitting there, I look up and almost think I’m seeing things - I squint and blink my eyes a couple times just to be sure, and yes…  it’s one of my childhood heroes, Muggsy Bogues walking across the crosswalk and into the arena.  I think he was coaching the Sting then, iirc.  Part of me wanted to just say, “Hey!  Muggsy!  Thank you for the inspiration and memories!  You were one of my favorite players as a kid!”  But, I just watched him walk by and into the arena and thought, “that was cool!”  I also so Miguel Cotto a couple years back while in Orlando and told my kids who it was but didn’t say anything to him.  I think somewhere in my subconscious, that encounter with Steve really made me feel like the gamble on finding out if they’re receptive to interaction just isn’t worth finding out.  At the end of the day, no matter if they’re receptive inspired us or were a hero, unless they initiate it, I likely never will…  because again, they’re humans just like us.  Not anymore unique or special, they just have a highly visible and very public job that we get to watch and in some ways participate.  So, I just appreciate it for what it is.
    • I'm pleasantly surprised they gave it to Bryce Young over Josh Allen. Finally we're getting some respect. Now I'm just hoping the team follows this up accordingly and doesn't lay another egg.
