Would you trade a 4th/5th for Brandon Lloyd?

as others have mentioned, there is no point in bringing him in for the rest of this year. and if you manage to get an extension, then you're left with two over 30 receivers on a young, rebuilding team, and you bury your two young talents (gettis and lafell) on the depth chart. beeeelicheck should tell ochocinco to hit the bricks and go get lloyd. dude is a master at stockpiling draft picks. i'm sure they've got some to spare.

Especially since they seldom manage to turn those draft picks into good players.

Apparently Tennessee has backed down out of it, per Rotoworld because the price-a 3rd-was too high.

We don't have a 3rd, and nobody knows who the other team is. I'm not sure he goes anywhere at this point, because it's looking like the price will be a 4th and something else.

Classic case of "You're ripping us off! NO! YOU'RE ripping US off!!"

I'm still slightly on the fence on this one. I don't think the Panthers should grab him unless he's willing to extend.

After watching the catch he made last week I'm not questioning his talent or his ability to produce. The guy just needs a QB that will throw to him and he will make the play unlike naane. The panthers are still a solid #2 away from really opening up the offense and keeping the defenses honest by shifting coverages away from steve smith.

Also, the strength of our D is pretty weak but I still feel that they can make a few key stops to get the offense the ball. The panthers would just turn into another Patriots type of team.

If we can get him signed to an extension, I wouldn't mind giving up a 4-5 rounder. Sure he's 30 but he should have 5-6 good years left. How many picks in the 4-5 round range even play that long, much less play at a pro bowl level?

With Cam playing at this level our front office should feel even more of a sense of urgency to get the rest of this team turned around.

Yeah, far as playoffs we need to start winning and we need the Saint and Lions to start losing. Im more convinced that will happen with the Lions than the Saints though. So i think we could make something happen but we definitely need improvement somewhere defense or offense.

    • Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.
    • How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.
    • I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
