Yeah i don't class blue chip as top 2-3 at the position in the NFL. I class them as cornerstones franchises build around 

Sure, then we have very different definitions of "blue chip" then, as to me, I think of it like in college recruiting, a "blue chip" prospect is a 5 star guy, the elite of the elite.

For me right now, there are 4 in that group at the moment, Mahomes, Allen, Burrow, and Lamar, and I think even the biggest Bryce backer would have to be out of their mind to say they think he is going to reach the level of those guys.

Which is how it was being used in this thread, it was being in reference to Garrett, who yea, I put in the top 3 best pass rushers right now, if I'm drafting a new team, it's Garrett, Parsons, and Watt all in the discussion for 1st pass rusher taken for me, that's a blue chip player.

And also, again, I'm not wishing for this to happen, I'd LOVE it if Bryce were to prove me wrong, I just don't see it.  For me, his mental part of the game is only ever going to take him so far when he'll always be near, or at, the bottom of the league in physical talent at the QB position.  There has been 1 of those guys before him, Brees, and Bryce is smaller with a weaker arm, he still needs to be the biggest outlier in league history to live up to the trade and be what you think he will be.  But again, prove me wrong Bryce, I'd be happy to eat crow on this as it's what is best for the franchise, but I'm still going to call it like I see it until it's proven one way or the other.

AND.... even if I were okay with it, I'd much rather go after Parsons than Garrett, younger and might actually be the better player as well.

Garrett has played at an historical level. He's up there with Deacon Jones and Reggie White. Just saying. Parsons may be younger, but he isn't better.

In general, I don't think it's realistic that we trade for either one of them. That's akin to Pyrex fantasy.

Garrett has been a DE his whole life and was the #2 overall high school prospect as one, Parsons was a MLB until 3 years ago and is still learning the position.

Despite that, Parsons still had 10 more sacks in his first 4 years than Garrett had, albeit in 12 more games.

If Garrett’s numbers have been historical, what have Parsons’ been when he is ahead of Garrett’s pace while still learning the position?

My whole point was you wouldn’t be making the trade for one game or even one season, Parsons is the one you’d want moving forward, and I don’t think he’s as far behind in current impact as you think.

Ahh....off season over reactions, got to love it!

I doubt we're in the running to trade for Garrett.  Dude is looking to win after a career of losing in Cleveland, and he probably wants input.  Also Cleveland isn't going to move him now.  After the first few rounds of FA, maybe.  If anything, Garrett is probably here on unrelated business.

The team hasn't had a winning season since 2017. The Panthers are not a destination except for guys looking to get overpaid or prove themselves with playing time to get paid.

Hard to build up a team when you spend as much draft capital and cap on 1 guy while the needs are so vast.

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      By TD alt · Posted

      After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...

      Canes vs Leafs 7pm

      Canes are so fascinating. Despite inconsistent defense and poor goalie play they keep winning.

      The team store should re-release Dan Morgan's jersey.

      I like Morgan's approach but I'll wait for a few winning seasons before giving too much praise.
