Luvu / Burns…. Gross / Peppers Dejavu

By tagging Burns, Luvu is now set to be a FA

Are we about to let our DAWG walk?

Dude, I already said that in the other thread. That's why Burns needs to be traded very soon, before FA starts, and I hope that our new GM realizes this. It's hard for me to believe that we don't have a semblance of a plan in the works. The tagging may ultimately affect things with Brown as a bonus as well. I mean, I will likely cuss if we lose Luvu, but if this ultimately affects our signing of DB, I won't be speaking of Dan Morgan's GM skills in glowing terms (because it will be too close to Scott Fitterer's). I do have to remember that Fitterer has left everyone between a rock and a hard place however.

Huh? Peppers left because he explicitly wanted to

I wouldn't say he "explicitly" wanted to go...Peppers was content with leaving, but we didn't actually roll out the red carpet for him which essentially made it a much easier decision to spread his wings.

“There were a lot of things going on at that time,” he added. “But yeah, the personal growth was one of the things that was like a driving force and that decision. You know, I loved it here. I love the Carolinas. But there was a part of me that just wanted to go, go see something different. I think that if I had gone to high school here and gone to college in, I don’t know, Miami, or New York or wherever, anywhere, any other city, right, and then got drafted by the Panthers, I probably would have had a different feeling.

 

“But the thing from being born and raised, going to school here, coming to the Panthers, it was lovely; it was a perfect scenario. But I think I got a little bit fatigued with the whole thing. It was overwhelming at times. Whatever you want to call it, the celebrity, you know, it was a little bit much at the time.”

I read the same thing. The break up wasn't exactly "amicable" as the article also states.

That Luvu hype is cool and all. But that spotlight is different when Burns is no longer on the opposite side. That's when we really see if Luvu has that DAWG IN HIM!

I mean we already know that Luvu has that dawg in him. That's not going to change. But even the best of players need help. I believe Luvu is that help. I don't think that is his best role. He's the role player in my opinion, that's why we're going to have to replace Burns with at least a semblance of a pass rusher if we trade him. Luvu can't do it by himself.

My biggest fear is Burns goes to a better team and puts up a career high in sacks. He has that kind of ability. As you said you need help around you. Burns will look much better on a winning roster.

    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
    • Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?
    • Bro I don't mind debating you, but did you really have to write all that to get your point across.   This isn't Madden. If you have the #1 pick you literally control your own destiny. If nobody wants to trade which I have a hard time believing they won't then you obviously take the best QB.   I think we will have suitors. If that's Madden then so be it.
