Just testing out a theory

If it means anything to your theory, I think it would be absolutely stupid to trade Smith for Rivers, as that would be taking his (Rivers) number one target away.

Sure, you could sign someone else, but no one on the board has come up with any viable, legitimate #2 threats, much less someone for #1 that's actually realistic and possible.

As for Williams; I would be more inclined to give them Stewart. Both backs are needed for one of them to succeed, but why would you trade your known star when his replacement might be troubled with injuries?

On a personal level I'd not trade either of my favorite two football players for anything.

However, were this my business I'd have to seriously consider the offer of Rivers for Williams.

Bringing him here without Smith would be a waste though.

Smith for Rivers is a "Gift of the Magi" trade (i.e. the loss of what you give up offsets the benefit of what you gain) so no, I wouldn't do that.

Williams for Rivers? If not for Moore's last five games, I'd think about it, but in the end I probably still wouldn't do it. Too close to another "trade off" result.

From the flip side, I seriously doubt San Diego would do either deal. An older receiver for a young QB? Not a good trade. And why give up Rivers for Williams when you already have Tomlinson and Sproles?

Because they're going to release LT and Sproles isn't an every down back.

      Panthers Preseason

      Ideally Bryce and the other starters should get at least a full quarter and an argument could be made for 2 full quarters given how they've played early in the season the last few years.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      A rookie that has never played a snap and a proven 1000K NFL WR are not going to be viewed the same in these type rankings.  And calling draft picks, lotto picks, isn't some new quip I just invented.  take the big 3 Hubbard, AT, insert whatever 3rd Panther you want vs Kamara, Hill, Olave.  Most football folks outside of Carolina are picking the Saints there IMO.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.
