Trading for a WR


Hairless Cat

Recommended Posts

Why dont we trade either a RB or QB for a vet proven WR? We're rich at both positions and have little else of value in excess of except draft picks. If we picked up a viable wr and got rid of a 3rd or 4th string RB and/or qb we could write our ticket to the NFC championship.

How are we rich at the QB position? We have our top 2 (no way you trade them)...next is Cantwell (a perennial practice squad player) and Pike (noodle arm, 6th rd draft pick, who can't even find the field this preseason).

Who would give a decent WR for either of those?

Bingo MadHatter,like you stated,we have very little to offer in a trade for a compentent WR,plus there is very little (if any)out there that other teams would be willing to part ways with.

my bet is a lot of teams would love either goodson or sutton. and if we keep those two we wouldnt need either dwill or j stew. lot of possibilities out there. we need to think about how best to get this team to the championship- I think one of our two starting RBs could be the answer. Whether management has the guts to do it is another matter.

    • It's not impossible to go from worst to first.  We kept Evero because anyone in there right mind knew our defense was destroyed by injuries, not the scheme.  Evero has been given a plethora of talent between free agency and the draft, not to mention getting DB back. I fully expect our defense to be very good.  I have no reason to think Jones would say something like that unless he truly felt like that.   
    • We would’ve played Florida and lost in the 1st instead of the 3rd round.  Montreal would have been the 8 seed.
    • I can't get behind a purely subjective re-draft as a method of defining "top-10 QB" status. That invites bias based on vibes/hypotheticals and can ignore actual on-field performance. You and others have said that Bryce has to be a top-10 QB to justify the pick. That's a high bar, which I'm not against, but we need a clear, consistent way to measure it. When I bring up metrics that Bryce has registered in the top-10 in like BTT%, P2S ratio, catchable deep ball rate, etc... they're waved off as either irrelevant or the expected baseline performance. Meanwhile, volume stats like passing yards or win-loss records, both of which depend heavily on roster talent, health, and coaching, are treated as definitive. That's where the inconsistency kicks in. If no performance metric ever counts in his favor and the answer is always going to be "he should be doing that," then we're not evaluating him... we're just holding him to a curve he can't win against. If this is really about performance standards, then let's define them. But if it's just about confirming prior takes based on height and weight, then let's call it what is it and stop pretending that this is a football analysis discussion.
