Buffalo our best friend?

Getting away from all the smokescreen theories I noticed yesterday that buffalo took cam out to dinner last night and there are several articles about how gailey loves athletic QBs with Cams skill set. So, this actually works out really well for us bc if anyone (Washington, Dallas, etc) want Cam bad enough they will have to trade up in front of buffalo to get him.

The fact that Buffalo seems to want him so bad may give us the ability to trade back. No smokescreen, just simply if one of those teams want him the precedent has been set that he wont fall past Buffalo. Which gives us ammo and makes that first and second pick more valuable.

Or we could just take him but that's a whole other story...

maybe if we can convince Buffalo we will draft Cam #1, they will offer their 2nd rounder and the #3 to pick Cam...basically getting back the Armanti pick.

at #3 we could get Fairley/Dareus, PP, AJ Green or Gabbert potentially.

It's funny that almost everyone to reply so far totally missed the point of the original post. It doesn't matter if Carolina or Buffalo really want him or not. If teams that are in love with Cam think Buffalo will take him, they are more likely to trade for the Panthers first overall pick.

Honestly I doubt they worry about trading up for Newton. Gabbert is considered very athletic as well and one of the two will be there at number 3. Why give away the farm when you have 2 guys with similar skills sets and you know you will get one of them staying right where you are.

The chances of us trading the pick are slim. The smoke screen stuff has been blown out of proportion. There is not one player in the draft good enough to have teams falling over each other to trade up for. If there is, we should be the ones taking that guy!!!!

Or they say lets trade with Buffalo for their pick which will cost less and we are okay with newton or Gabbert. No need to mess with Carolina at all unless they give it away for less than Buffalo.

I absolutely give up...why would you trade WITH buffalo to get the guy that BUFFALO wants!!! All I'm saying is that it's becoming more apparent that cam will NOT fall past buffalo...so if someone wants him that is after buffalo they will HAVE to trade past buffalo to get him. That involves trading to the 1st or 2nd pick. Buffalo's interest in cam makes our pick more valuable.

Hitchhiker: You heard of this thing, the 8-Minute Abs?

Ted: Yeah, sure, 8-Minute Abs. Yeah, the excercise video.

Hitchhiker: Yeah, this is going to blow that right out of the water. Listen to this: 7... Minute... Abs.

Ted: Right. Yes. OK, all right. I see where you're going.

Hitchhiker: Think about it. You walk into a video store, you see 8-Minute Abs sittin' there, there's 7-Minute Abs right beside it. Which one are you gonna pick, man?

Ted: I would go for the 7.

Hitchhiker: Bingo, man, bingo. 7-Minute Abs. And we guarantee just as good a workout as the 8-minute folk.

Ted: You guarantee it? That's - how do you do that?

Hitchhiker: If you're not happy with the first 7 minutes, we're gonna send you the extra minute free. You see? That's it. That's our motto. That's where we're comin' from. That's from "A" to "B".

Ted: That's right. That's - that's good. That's good. Unless, of course, somebody comes up with 6-Minute Abs. Then you're in trouble, huh?

[Hitchhiker convulses]

Hitchhiker: No! No, no, not 6! I said 7. Nobody's comin' up with 6. Who works out in 6 minutes? You won't even get your heart goin, not even a mouse on a wheel.

Ted: That - good point.

Hitchhiker: 7's the key number here. Think about it. 7-Elevens. 7 dwarves. 7, man, that's the number. 7 chipmunks twirlin' on a branch, eatin' lots of sunflowers on my uncle's ranch. You know that old children's tale from the sea. It's like you're dreamin' about Gorgonzola cheese when it's clearly Brie time, baby. Step into my office.

Ted: Why?

Hitchhiker: 'Cause you're freakin' fired!

    • Not sure why everyone keeps talking about the Panthers paying him $50M/year. I don't recall anyone EVER saying he deserves that. I think something like what the Dolphins signed Malik Willis to would be good: 3 years, $67.5M but it will probably be something along the lines of Mayfield or Darnold which is around $35M/year.
    • Actually that 4400 was based on a 16 game season to match Bryce's 16 games this year. Your offense has to be to drive the ball when it matters. Bryce doesn't do that with any level of consistency. If you're building a team that isn't focused on your QB, then fine. Then there's no need to pay Bryce as a franchise QB because literally anyone else will do. If you're going to pay him 50m plus per season, you have to be able to put the team on his shoulders and know he's going to carry the load. So far, when the pressure is on to get it done, Bryce has fallen miserably short of the target. 4-6 to finish out the season and 0-2 when all we need is a win to secure a playoff spot isn't stepping up and proving yourself as a franchise QB. I'd say it's quite the opposite.  There isn't a single coach in this league that would take Bryce over Burrow and very few if any that would take Bryce over Prescott. Hurts didn't have to throw in 2025 because Philly's defense was disgusting and Saquan had a MVP season. But then again, Hurts has shown that he can when it counts, and then there's his signature. Philly runs the tush push to lethal perfection, but that's a play we can't even consider with Bryce. You used 3 QBs from teams that had no defense to show QB stats don't always matter. When we had the worst defense in the NFL, we didn't see Bryce step up and carry the offense and put up gaudy numbers in a losing season because we were playing catch up. It was pretty much the opposite.  What have we seen from Bryce consistently to consider offering him a top 10 NFL franchise QB level contract? At the end of the day, that's all that matters.   
    • I mean, what fanbase has high expectations when you have a QB like Bryce leading your team?
