According to an analyst I was speaking with yesterday, he said 0% chance we trade the pick at this time because of the risk of no draft next year. Trading to our spot would require future picks which have no value currently. Also in regards to the Denver trade, he said 1% lol

Theoretically that could happen. But I think most people believe there will be a draft next year.

But hell who knows. Maybe in the course of the new CBA discussions they dissolve the draft altogether and go with a different way of bringing in prospects. Then we would be left out to dry.

But if I put a percentage on that it would be like .05%

I don't see that being possible. We'd only be moving three spots down.

Their first and second sounds GREAT to me.

I think we would be very tempted to swap 1st's and take their 2nd... but if we think Cam can be a franchise QB then we shouldn't pass on him.

exactly...if carolina likes cam then they obviously feel he can be that franchise guy...you don't pass on a QB unless you already have one

Didn't NY give up a future first rounder when they swapped Rivers and Manning??

That was one of the best QB drafts in the history of the NFL :P Moving up to get Eli Manning is going to cost more than moving up to get Cam.

It wasn't considered that at the time. Hindsight is 20/20 but there were pretty big questions about all 3 of those guys coming out.

While that's (somewhat) true, it's unarguable that Eli Manning was a better QB prospect than Cam. Just the "Manning" at the end of his name made him about as hyped up as you can get.

In general, drafting QB's is a crap shoot... there's no such this as a "can't miss" QB prospect.

I've seen Parcells QB drafting criteria quoted on here... Parcells drafted Long and passed on Matt Ryan, then drafted Pat White.

If you're waiting for a "can't miss" QB prospect to come along you're going to be waiting a LONG time and you still may draft a bust.

Some people didn't even have Manning the #1 QB in that class. He wasn't unanimous either.

You really think Cam and Gabbert are even comparable to Manning and Rivers? I'm not trying to predict the future, I'm just talking about them as QB prospects. Both were WAY ahead of Cam/Gabbert.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By OldhamA · Posted

      I think you have to factor in that we're still not an attractive proposition for Head Coaches. You're not getting the cream of the crop if you fire Canales a year after winning the NFC South, especially considering the situation he walked into.

      Yeah, I was about to say I hope he's doing okay health-wise because he's not looking good in that pic.

      Honestly, I dont  think he should be on the hot seat yet. A bad start to next year, then yes. Despite our mistakes on play calling this past season, we played better than anticipated overall. Bryce showed improvement and maturity (although still not nowhere close to our expectations). Better record and 2-15 to 5-12 to 8-9. Despite what we feel the stats dont lie we are improving by 3 wins a year. Could 11-6 be our expectation. That's a high bar but at the rate we are going, thats what its looking like. We all want to see a 5-12 to a 13-4 record but we are methodically moving up. Success doesnt happen overnight (well in most cases).  IMO we are struggling mostly on the defensive end. LB and edge are our biggest weakness. I see Bryce making improvements (even though I was a Bryce hater) next year. Biggest concern is LT on offense. How to fix this? We need a big name edge or to trade up and get a big name edge or LB and pick up one in FA and draft one. Also if in the 3rd we can pick up a TE. Dont know if Sanders is the answer or Tremble (even though I love Trembles blocking and power after the catch). If these two can get their footwork together they would be great. Maybe all they need is a better TE coach. And if Brooks can stay healthy and be the back we thought he could be, man that would be great
