Hillis was a fullback in college. A damn good one.

I tend not to put much stock in this trade though. I can count on one hand the number of player for player trades I've seen in the NFL in the salary cap era.

Well, Ive lived in Carolina for a number of years of my life in Camp Lejeune and Jacksonville/Wilmington...........and I can tell you that you will LOVE Hillis.

Best compliment to give: Hes a football player to the core.

so he could be the pass receiving specialty rb/fb on a team with two bette runningback that has no use for him

Hey, some people understand his value.........some dont.

Looking at your offense?

You need a guy like him.

There are FBs.......and there are playmakers. Hillis is the latter, and will do anything you ask of him.

I like it. Do it today. Anything for Pep to get him off the books and focus on the defense.

In fact take Scheffler and the pick out and I still say its a go.

Hillis for Peppers, straight up?

No thanks. If we were going to trade straight up for a player, I would hope it would be for a defensive player.

How bout, take out Hillis and change that pick to a first and 3rd rounder.

Peppers

for

Scheffler + 2009 1st rounder + 2009 3rd rounder/2010 2nd rounder

Personally Id give you the 12th pick. But nothing else with it.

You guys dont want to pay the 17 million for this guy for one year.

That does sound like an intriguing trade, but like someone asked earlier how is Hillis on ST? Also how good of a run blocker is he? And it would have to be there second for this to work IMO.

If you ask the RBs here......they love him.

He hits the right guy.

I don't but I think this FO wouldn't care if he stayed even with that large cap number. And lets not forget Peppers has to agree to a long term deal for this to be viable.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
