I'm just wondering if Fairley pans out to be like Sapp and Green pans out to be the equvalient to Randy Moss as we are now who would people want us to pick. Im not talking about this guy could be a bust or that guy might not blah blah at their best who should we go after for our current team???

depends.. our defense was 12th overall while on the field longer than any other defense (close enough to make that statement)

since we had no spectacular DT's then, and there are more FA DT's by far compared to WR FAs... why wouldn't you take Green?

and FFS, we don't need to trade Smitty unless we are offered a 2nd.. or two 3rds.. (it makes no sense to take away talent from an already bad offense)

Pick up Orton and we have a QB for next couple years until we address the issue..

BTW, Johnson has never played in a playoff game, while Sapp has won a Superbowl.

how is that relevant?

I agree with that, but Green isn't close to Andre IMO, I say Fairley all day.

and Fairley ain't no Sapp.. that is not the point of this thread.. try again. ;)

I can see your point but you have to think a tenacious d gives your offense chance after chance ie Mark S last year. Going from 12 to 3 or 4 with failey and a FA could be just what we need. Otah's return boost our running game back to atleast top six. I don't know because a Johnson type with what we have could be deadly in so many different ways just trying to get some different view points.

Yea I'm not saying they are or will be just wondering for the current state of our team in a very optimistic view what pick would help us out the most if both could reach elite levels.

    • Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
    • That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have. 
    • Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
