Don't particularly care to have either one. I'd rather just get whatever pick we can for XL.

Maybe there's a team desperate for WR help that will overpay for a young player they liked pre-draft, similar to Dallas giving us a 4th for Jonathan Mingo.

I agree. Put him on the block officially and see what you can get. If it's a conditional 6th or 7th, fine. 

I think it would be best for him to be traded a considerable distance from this area and likely the South so that he can try to focus on football for a chance.

Such a dumb idea

IDK how we go from good player for good player trade suggestions to dumpster fire bust for dumpster fire bust trade suggestions.

Even though Coleman is better, he has a littany of motivation and discipline issues. Do we think milquetoast Dave is gonna fix that??

I wouldn't do this. XL had a bad year but he showed a lot of promise as a rookie for a guy we KNEW was going to take some time to develop 

You can hate the pick if you want but now that we've got XL I would give him one more season to see if he can round into a contributor. 

Coleman has always struck me as a guy that was not going to put the work in to be great. might be wrong but that's my gut read on him.

The real problem is XL is where we drafted him. If we had taken him mid second round I think the outrage surrounding him would be far less. Not his fault they traded up (one spot) to make him a first round pick

I am with you. Give XL an offseason and a camp to respond. He may not be a 1st round level contributor but may be able to contribute to the team in a lesser role.  

If someone calls and offers a 3rd I would do it but if it is a day three thing I’d rather roll the dice on him for now.

I bet he didn’t see this coming until it about just hit him.  He isn’t that quick, unfortunately. Let him get his head around it and see what happens.

I disagree. He would be acceptable as a Day 3 pick but that is about it.

At this stage, we know who are X and Z receivers are. Trading XL for anyone else who doesn't operate primarily out of the slot doesn't make any sense. At this point, just move XL and stick him in the Y Slot and see what he can do.

Sounds like a plan to me.

    • 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
