Trade bait


MHS831

Recommended Posts

People get angry when you make suggestions about giving up a player or two to fill a need. They want to give away crap and get diamonds back. I wanted to start a thread where we mention players we might trade to fill needs, specifically QB, but it doesn't have to be. We will be weaker in one area to get stronger in another. Think of it as redistributing and equalizing the talent. Also remember that talent at the QB position, where talent is rare, is > talent at any other position.

Here is the list of Panthers we could trade. Some we may have to re-sign or tag, but you get the idea. Remember, in a trade, you have to give up talent to get talent!!

Mike Goodson: A KR, multi-purpose back with breakaway skills. In our new offense he may be even more valuable, but his string of 100 yard games gave him some value. The 2 fumbles didn't help him, but I think he has some serious trade value.

Dan Connor has the ability to start for many NFL teams, if he could just stay healthy. I would hate to lose him because he is great depth and special teams, but his value does us no good on the pine.

Deangelo WilliamsEasy people, easy. First read these points. In response to folks who say, "We need 4 rbs. We are going to an 18-game schedule." Here are some facts: Deangelo is awesome, which gives him value, of course. He has about 2 years left (RBs rarely hit 30 on top--he is 28). He was used HEAVILY at Memphis and has not finished a season since 2008. How will he play 18 games? The only way is if you use him less. If we have to use him less to keep him healthy, then his value to us decreases.

Steve Smith: I would not because what he can give us over the next 2 years is more than the player we get will give us in a career. However, we are young and rebuilding. We owe it to Smith to put him somewhere he can regain his form. He may want the trade, we may want him away from the youth. Either way, a team ready to win now might jump on Smith. Again, I would rather he give us all he has and retires here, but I suggest a trade for reasons other than the talent we would lose vs. get.

Charles Godfrey is (I think) an alternate for the Pro Bowl and I thought he was inconsistent this year. Jordan Pugh is good and waiting behing Godfrey, but a pro bowl free safety might have some value. Pugh has earned a place. Godfrey got a lot of picks this year (5 ?), but a few were thrown right to him. Go figure. Take advantage of his good fortune and consider using him as bait to get a good QB here.

I think that a trade is the only way we get a decent QB--the draft sucks at QB, the free agent market will as well. Will we make a trade? Hell no, so don't get worried about this too much. Just for sake of conversation.

I'd be fine with all except Godfrey, he is just gonna get better at this point.

I didn't like it too much either. However, if they wanted Godfrey and Connor for Kevin Kolb, bye CG. THe only reason I added Godfrey is because I think Pugh is going to be very good if he ever gets to play.

Williams, Connor YES!!!

rest... NO!!!

Goodson/Stewart would be awesome if were to trade Williams, and just having 89 out on the field makes the D respect the Pass no matter how shitty our QB play is. The only one i'm not sure about is Godfrey, at times he looks good, and at times you have to wonder what he is doing, but for the value a trade would create for Williams and Connor, I would trade them

Connor/Goodson/Godfrey most likely won't get you enough to make it worth your while.

I said we should move DWill to a desperate team like Green Bay before the trade deadline. You could really bend them over in a trade at that point but now, trying to work out a sign-and-trade, coming off two seasons on IR, his value is much much lower.

Same thing with Smitty, I would have tried to move him a year ago, but now he'll be lucky to net you a 4th.

This team just waits too long to try to move anyone.

careful, I said that a few months back and all the Madden fantasy traders jumped me saying he is worth anywhere from a 1st to a 3rd... what a joke:lurk5:

    • 6 pages of tuka and Seltzer arguing is actually 97 pages long
    • 100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.  
    • "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
