Carson Palmer scenarios

The ONLY way I would even consider trading DeAngelo and our 6th round pick for a washed up Carson Palmer would be if we also got their 1st or 2nd round pick. Which is not going to happen.

Stick with Clausen.

This i dont know why people want to get rid of Williams so bad and for so low (same thing for Steve Smith)

Yeah I know DeAngelo's the best RB we've ever had and it's not like he's nearing the end of his career. I think we should re-sign him to a 3-4 year deal and pay him what he deserves. Stewart is the one I would have to think about re-signing based on his injury history. That said I would love to see a few more years of Double Trouble.

We have to resign DeAngelo. Front load his contract or give him a nice guaranteed amount of money. That way once he starts to decline we won't be paying him a high salary and he can be reduced to a backup role. He has elite vision. McGahee is set to be released for those who want to trade him and would like an affordable alternative/backup.

I would definately trade for Palmer. He would be a great stop gap QB while Clausen or whoever develops. But I probably wouldn't trade anything more than a 5th for him. And on the terms that he will restructure his contract to absorb a lower cap hit.

As for Pike. I would trade him for a 12 pack. And that's selling high.

Now that I think about it I'm actually looking forward to seeing how Tony Pike will do in our new offense.

Sure, if you never want to see a deep pass completed again. Dude has no arm or zip on the ball. People complain about Clausen's arm strength, I would hate to see what they say about Pike.

    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight 
    • There's a reason Greg Maddux was never a flamethrower but still one of the most feared pitchers of all time, because accuracy beats velocity far more often then vice versa. Once you exceed a certain minimum capability, you can thrive with extreme traits elsewhere, its not strictly about power in any sport but powerlifting.
