Not suggesting this as a preferred alternative, but it crossed my mind so I'm curious to people's thoughts...

What if the suggested offer involved a first, an additional mid-round pick and Jahmyr Gibbs rather than Williams?

Id rather have that than Williams. Gibbs would be a much better safety valve than anything we have right now.

I keep thinking of this place shitting on Fitt for the CJ Henderson and a 5th for Arnold and a 3rd trade. 
 

That was a year removed from CJ being a top 10 pick. 

 

Now a lot of people are okay trading for Williams based on his draft status, while showing far less than CJ had in the NFL.

 

I would love to take a flyer on Williams, but the inconsistency is pretty funny. 
 

 

I would take any first for Burns right now.  Williams is just an interesting throw in.

For the record, I wasn't in that camp. Relatively low risk-high reward trades don't bother me at all.

I'd be OK with it, but I'd rather have Williams. Young receivers with first round talent are a great commodity in the NFL if they work out. RBs, even talented ones, come much easier, and a run game can be executed with  mid level talents, and by committee. Lastly, we'd miss the benefit of familiarity which can be kinda underrated if you look at Hurts and Smith as well Tua and Waddle. That familiarity angle is why I also proposed trying to acquire Metchie.

Send them Burns, Chinn, and Sanders for their 2024 1st, 2024 2nd, J Gibbs, and Brian Branch.

Only to select a pass rusher to replace him.lmao

 

If we trade Burns we need more than a 1st. We would be selling low, but then again this is Tepper and selling low on Burns wouldn't shock me.

100% do the deal. 2 net first round assets for Burns is a win.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?

      I said this ALL last season and will say it again this year. Our record means diddly squat this year, I don't care if we have 0 wins or 17 wins, I only care about one thing and one thing only. Bryce proves without a shadow of a doubt that he IS or ISN'T our long term solution at QB. It's the only thing that matters for the same reason it sucks that this is the same thing as last year.  This needs to be determined, and if they can't determine it, then it's still telling the team the answer, just not the one they want to hear. As right now we're in the ultimate QB purgatory, a position that dooms franchises for years.  Just look at a team like the Cardinals, who extended a better QB and it still screwed them over and haven't had a contending team in a long time. People get too caught up on wins and losses when evaluating players, particularly QBs.  When people look at the final record and use that as a reason to want to extend a QB or not is just a fools errand.  If we had lost 2-3 more games last year because we didn't make a last second FG, I genuinely wonder if we would have just moved on from Bryce this offseason (like we should have been doing anyways IMHO).
