Poor guy has made tens of millions of dollars to be terrible. We should all be so fortunate.

I'm sure he would have rather made millions of dollars and actually have been successful too.  Nobody likes being a failure, no matter your status in life.

We need to move Burns for picks.  I could see us double dipping but we need to find a future starting C in this draft, as well.

The FA market for center is actually fairly deep.  It's a matter if we can afford any of them.  You typically don't get starting rookie centers unless they are day 1 or day 2 picks.  I wouldn't mind drafting one on day 3 and developing him.

Tough for me to call someone who has made that much money a "failure". I'm sure he'll manage.

True. That’s why I qualified my statement by saying ‘future’ and not ‘immediate’.  Probability of JPJ falling to 33 is likely 0% but if he did, you would have to seriously consider taking him there.  If we can convert Burns to picks, we might be picking 2 WR’s and a C in our first three picks.  Maybe.

$27m per for Wilkins, that Brown contract is going to be eye opening

edit: I don't think the Panthers are going to be able to afford both Brown and Burns. Think one is gone.

I think most of us prefer Burns to hit the road. Your correct though, retaining both is really not an option.

Darnold performed well in 2022 when he was supported by a run-first offense and wasn't asked to win games by himself. He could be a very good QB on a team like Minnesota that will put a lot of talent around him. But if Kevin O'Connell is going to try to throw the ball 70% of the game, Darnold is going to look like he always has. 

It never ceases to amaze me how highly-drafted QB busts always find teams willing to try rehabbing them despite the success rate on those type of reclamation projects being nearly zero. How many times has this actually worked in the last 30 years?

I get it for teams that need a backup like the 49ers did; that makes sense. But for teams looking for a starting QB to actually think they can take a guy who has failed to live up to the hype after 4+ years in the league and turn them into a quality starter just reeks of arrogance on the part of the HC and/or desperation or naivety (or both) on the part of the GM.

One is among the elite players at his position, the other is a good - sometimes even great - player who wants to be paid like he's elite.

If you're going to pay elite player money, just make sure you're giving it to an elite player.

      Some Thoughts on Legette based upon an ex-scout's ranking him WR1 in the draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      No, he has a long way to go to be that--I think he is probably referring to his ceiling--I think Legette has more room to grow from where he is that those more polished WRs.  When you look at his potential, it presents an argument that is not so one sided.  Of those three, only Odunze had a higher RAS score 9.92.  XL had a 9.90.  Malik Nabors had a 9.67.  Harrison Jr.  did not have one.  I am not sure that Legette has not overcome more obstacles to be where he is, and if you consider his adversity, his story might be more incredible, even though he is only a second tier rookie right nowm with Mitchell, Thomas, Pearsall, and maybe McConkey.  I am going from memory-but you have to think of things as a kid-when he was 16, his mother died of breast cancer.  When he entered S Carolina, his father died.  They had some issues and QB problems and the OL was terrible in Columbia---the others you mentioned?  None of that family drama, and they played at Washington, Ohio State, and LSU.  Huge difference.  I am proud of him as a man--when all his chips were on the table--when he had no more chances, he broke through and became a first round draft pick.  A school with a losing record, mediocre QB, and bad OL.  Mentally, he was struggling through the losses of both parents.  Amazing story.  Is he as good as those three who played at top universities?  Not yet.
