i saw he was playing this weekend this morning. Did they announce they are sitting him? That timeline actually works out for us - if we did this

I saw him say he didn’t expect to miss much time if any

Really trying to think who’d they be calling about.

Terry McLaurin? Davante Adams (almost 32)? I really don’t think the 49ers would trade Aiyuk. I’m ruling out the teams in our division so no Evans or Pitts. Amari Cooper? Jerry Jeudy can’t stay healthy. Courtland Sutton I’m not sure qualifies as top tier. Miami isn’t trading Waddle in year 3 of a rookie deal with a 5th year option. Jameson Williams hasn’t proved anything yet. Christian Watson? Devonta Smith?

Tee Higgins makes the most sense I think. We’re not getting Chase or Jefferson

I still don't understand how people can honestly think Higgins isn't a #1

Far too often in today's NFL fans, they view things in terms of fantasy football, not real life football.

No, Higgins isn't a WR1 in fantasy football, he's "just a 2" for fantasy, but there are 32 teams in the NFL, if you don't think he's one of the top 32 WRs in the league, you don't know football.

No, he's not a Top 10 guy, but only 10 teams can have a top 10 guy, and that's if no teams have two of them (like the Dolphins might with Tyreek and Waddle).

But YES, Higgins is without question a WR1 in real life NFL football, no question about it.

Having said that, not sure the Bengals would give him to us for what I'd like, I'd do Burns for Higgins and a high pick (I'd like a first but don't think they do that, maybe a 2nd).  But I'm not sure they do that before they know they can't make a playoff run this year, and even then, not sure they're trading Higgins plus a pick for a player they have to give a big contract to, more likely will just trade Higgins for a pick.

I just got higher standards for passing out #1 labels to WRs, i get why many think hes a #1.

Has higgins ever forced a defense to double him?? I dont think even before chase thee great came he has....

Higgins has a different minor injury that he plays through every few weeks.  I don't find him appealing in the least for what we apparently are looking for.

I don't mind the idea of Marquise Brown.  He's much more in line with what we need right now as we need someone who can turn short throws into TDs and have gamebreaking speed/plays.  

My hope is one thing - just don't give up another first.

Call Atlanta and ask them if they aren’t planning on using Pitts or London if they are available. Maybe leverage that call into them trading for Andy Dalton so somebody can throw those two the ball. 

Those were 2 guys I thought of as well but calling a division rival during a time of desperation will end horribly for us

This is the darkest timeline. But honestly, they don’t throw the ball with Ridder so you might as well get something for him.

Higgins seems like the most realistic. Devonta Adams might be available, but he most likely wants a contending team.

 

Fitt is about to do something stupid I can feel it in my bones!

Bro just tell Adams we are one player away *shrug*

It's just pure idiocy. We don't need a wr right now we need better play calling and better pass blocking.

We could have tyreek hill and devante adams right now and they're not going be doing a ton with all their targets being 10 yards or less and a majority of them being at or around the LOS.

I gotta think they’re thinking they’ll make a move for a QB this offseason so they may not want to trade off offensive pieces. I mean they don’t need to look far to see how that worked out for us. 

What would you be willing to move for Pitts? I’d much rather him over London especially for Bryce

      Unless the league decides to rollback the rule book 30 years, that player at QB isn't winning any Super Bowls.  QB has to elevate those around him.  QBs that are carried by the team are always exposed in the playoffs. Closest thing to an average QB that has won the SB recently is Jalen Hurts.  But he's so unique with his legs and the unstoppable tush push that I don't think it's easy to compare him to anyone.  Certainly not someone who is subbed out for QB sneaks.

      You absolutely can have hope. You can’t convert people though; making advocacy posts are kind of … not reading the room.   I had a small hope that he would be able to at least manage some games and that they could make it work in some kind of no fun to watch fashion.  But honestly I had 100% determined he was not NFL starter material, and I had conviction. So to root for him to marginally succeed goes against the best interest of the Panthers long term, according to my beliefs. I wanted him gone the minute he got here if I am honest.It was up to him to prove otherwise.  He has rarely shown me anything to think I was wrong on his ceiling.  He did show me some courage last year, standing in the pocket and stepping into his throw in the face of pressure - but that has gone somewhere. He made some nice throws last year in places too, but they invested in him on the level of the Atlanta game should be his norm. Good luck seeing that again on Sunday. Still, he did it once, so technically it could happen again.
