Trading the pick after Newton is selected...

There are other options. Go back to your Cam Shrine and light another candle; your muted rage will pass. Exploring all options, hypothetical or practical, is what makes this interesting. What forums are for. Nonetheless, I admire your loyalty and the manner in which you honor a silly bet.

I think we take Cam if we stick at #1. However, if we get the first pick in 2012, do not expect Luck to become a Bengal or Viking. WHile Cam has pro-bowl POTENTIAL, Luck has HALL OF FAME potential. Signs of being good should not reserve you a spot in Canton. Upgrade at QB whenever you can.

I nearly suggested that in another post but was not sure about the RIGHTS to a player. Regardless, his value would be determined by the CBA and the rookie scale. However, this is an interesting strategy because we would keep him until we felt better about his work ethic and knew where we stood in free agency. Heck, if we go 1-15 and draft Luck, I imagine we would get a boat load of picks in 2012 for Newton, if he shows signs of being good.

You guys are amazing, how come you don't care about the CURRENT players on our team who want to WIN NOW!?! Beason, Smitty and Deangelo who are leaders on this team want to win NOW DAMN IT! They don't want to wait till next year's season to win.

[huddle logic]None of those guys are QBs. The only players who's feelings we should be concerned with are our QBs. They are our elites. Whats best for them supercedes all the position players. I care more about Clausen "getting a fair shot" than whether or not D Williams and Beasons careers go to waste while "we wait for our dream QB".[/huddle logic]

Luck made it perfectly clear that he wants NOTHING to do with being a Carolina Panther.

If by some miracle we are allowed to draft him he would probably demand a trade ala Eli.

Don't take it personally man. The guy just wanted to stay in school and finish earning his degree. It had nothing to do with Carolina having the first pick.

That could be, but from my point of view it doesn't appear to be the case. If he just wanted to stay in school then he would have been saying it all season. He waited until the #1 pick was decided and JR pretty much came right out and said we were taking him. Then he decided to stay in school. I could be wrong but I doubt it.

Doesn't sound like he is committed to being a NFL player. As a GM I would be very hesitant to draft him. I want someone who is dedicated to being a great NFL player not an architect.

    • To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. . 
    • The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
