All this league wide trade build-up all these player apparently available for trade you know damn well the deadline is gonna come and go and very few trades will actually go down. 

Its up to Fitter to trade Burns since he refused to give him the extension he so deserved! And if he doesn't, he's walk for nothing. What a clown this guy is.

Trade Burns for Jamo NOW!!!!

Some updates yesterday from the Athletic:

2. The Eagles want to make another move even after adding safety and five-time Titans captain Kevin Byard. I expect Howie Roseman to be busy Monday morning. He’s poking around at linebacker.

3. The Baltimore Ravens are looking to add a running back, the Cleveland Browns are looking to add a receiver and the Buffalo Bills are scanning the cornerback market. The Washington Commanders are listening to offers on Chase Young and Montez Sweat. They want a second-rounder but have only received offers in the third-round range.

And SF is working the phones for a pass rusher and cornerback.  Jaylon Johnson CB CHI or Montez Sweat in WAS could be targets.  Think guys like those two sound like ones that could be on the move.  Not much expected on the big name front but if WAS loses today, Young could finally be out of there.

Prediction: we trade a late pick for a big RB. Cheap way for a big improvement. Right now this is a big deal on short yardage plays not having a single QB or RB that can move a pile. 

Crazy, I thought I was the only one seeing this.  As much of a train wreck this offense is, the RB group as a whole is largely overlooked.  Sanders is getting his fair share of flack, but leaning on Hubbard as your bell cow is frightening as heck.

Maybe we could trade for that Donte Foreman dude. I hear he can move a pile and he might even pair well with Chuba.

They are getting group tackled 5 yards behind the LOS.  The OL is a much bigger issue than RBs.  Give Chuba an actual hole and he will be more than capable the be the lead back this year.

I'm going to have to disagree.  He lacks vision.  There's times where he misses a lane and runs right up the backside of a linemen.  I give him credit, he's better than he used to be, but he's still not the guy you want as your RB1.

I don't want him as the RB of our future or anything but I think he is capable to hold down the position with Blackshear this year while we are working on developing our offense.  We could honestly have an undrafted rookie next year look better than our whole group.  On a side note maybe Cohen can get some playing time in the next couple games.

I’m ok with Chubba as part of a tandem. But the problem we have is 3rd and 1, 4th and 1, or anything at the goal line, we don’t have someone to get that yard. We had the same problem with CMC. We need a big RB.

We need some snaps under center. Our OL isn’t looking good run blocking out of shotgun. Some under center I formation snaps with a lead blocker could help this OL run block. Plus you can ran a PA bootleg with Young to set up some long shots as well.

      Another Bryce breakdown

      By rayzor · Posted

      then we're stuck.  tbh, at this point i would settle for just making it interesting. forget winning a superbowl for now. just get a team that can win games consistently and hope that it's enough to get to the big dance.  we want superman. we aren't getting superman. we had him and we blew our chance with him.  find a way make it work and hope that we can with this little guy and quit wishing our lives away for the second coming of superman. it just ain't happening.

      Another Bryce breakdown

      Gonna have to strongly disagree with you here. Here are the last 20 Super Bowls - only two of them IMO had QB that didn't play like Superman to get them there/win the game/both, and that was Peyton in 2015 and Ben in 2005. Even then they both had that ability, Peyton was just old and Ben young. That said, there were flashes in the pan like Foles in 2017 and (to a lesser degree) Flacco in 2012. But even counting that, it's 4/20. 20% odds aren't good enough and Bryce was absolutely drafted at #1 to be a guy that elevates an entire team and plays like Superman. If he can't do that then it's a failed pick, full stop. Being a poor man's Teddy doesn't cut it for a #1 overall and that's true for any team, not just Carolina.

      the problem is if we're waiting for Cam v2, we're going to be waiting decades longer.  our best hope is that bryce is better than we all think he is and that canales is able to work some serious magic with him and the scheme to help him live up anywhere close to the potential we thought he had. he's a smart kid. we just have to be able to have a situation that allows him to use his smarts.  the truth with cam was that een he had to have a system tailored for his skillset coming into the league. the difference between him and luck (which was the debate in '09 when we thought luck was an option) was that with luck, he could be placed in any offense and it would work...hence the higher floor he had  than cam. cam, though, needed an offense that was built around him to reach his potential. he could have done alright in a more pro-style offense, but to reach his ceiling (which was seen by a lot of people as being higher than luck). i don't think having to have an offense tailored around what you can and can't do well is a problem for people who can develop around them...after they've truly identified what those can and can't items are. we didn't have that last year. i think we have that this year. we want a guy who can carry a team on his back, but those kind of guys are very rare. we don't need to spend our time trying  find that guy, because even when you have them there's no guarantee that they will be enough.  championships are won, quite often, by teams who learn to compensate for less than the greatest QB play. you have a great defense and can protect the ball while wearing out the other defense and you've got a chance.  we don't need Bryce to be superman (despite where we drafted him and what we paid to get him). we just need him to be able to run (manage) a good offense.
