(Dream) Trade

I had a dream last night (bear with me this is kind of an interesting scenario) in which Andrew Luck was in a Bengals jersey throwing a touchdown pass to AJ Green. It got me thinking. Would the Colts trade the number one to Cincy for picks with Andy Dalton. Let's look at the draft value numbers

http://drafttek.com/tradechart.html

Colts: #1 overall 30000

Bengals: #17 overall 950

#21 800

#53 370

Future #1 900 (approximately)

total points equals=3020

The points are about equal so the trade would be the #1 overall for Andy Dalton with the #17, 21, and 53 and a future first.

At first it sounds crazy for both sides, but let's step back from your internet rage to consider.

The Colts have A LOT of holes. If the Colts believe think Dalton flashed enough promise after one year, you could stack your team with three first round home-runs.

Second why would the Bengals do this? They sacrifice so much and already have a good thing going with the Red Rifle yadda yadda. Andrew Luck with AJ Green for the next ten years, you sacrifice three first rounders, one of which you robbed from the Raiders (and oh yea they are still going to have a first rounder in the 2013 from that same trade) for that combo.

discuss. and no, "no" or "shut the fug up Panthers8192" are not acceptable answers.

The Bengals aren't trading a promising second year player for a rookie. You don't trade 3 first for a QB when you already have a good young one

because you are basically using your first rounder on "the most sure-fire prospect of the last decade"

Cincinatti did very well and made the playoffs with Dalton last year. They feel they are set at QB. You don't mortgage the farm to pick up a draft choice who hasn't taken a snap in the NFL unless you are redskins and the future prospects look very bleak. Sure Luck could be amazing or he could be no better than Dalton going forward. In any case you don't trade a sure thing for a maybe unless the upside of the maybe is so much better than the sure thing that it is worth the risk. In this case it isn't even close IMO.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      The question I wonder involves putting the cost behind us.      At this point he's here, so does the premium paid even matter anymore? It set expectations no doubt, and they weren't met.  He's been bench-worthy bad, but he's come back and looked first average, above-average to maybe great, and then downright bad again.  Now we're back on a good trend again.  Absolute rollercoaster.   So what level of performance deems him a viable option to hold?  He's looked absolutely incapable of moving an offense at times, and others like a guy you can "Purdy" with some dimes sprinkled in.     So, if he continues on this 2 game trend and shows consistent average to above-average play, we're treading into tricky territory.  Such a big investment but he tops out as a top-15/20 QB option.  It's Alex Smith KC type vibes. Are we going to be sitting at 7-10 come end of season and feel kind of meh? It's right at that fringe of what is worth it.  If he doesn't re-sh*t the bed, we may be best suited to go BPA next draft and see the 2026 progression.  And that will be the final make/break year.  What I can see if he doesn't fall apart and things look manageable: He may end up being the average precursor to finding the great talent that you can build the team around.  How Alex Smith was in KC.  They built that with him (not around him) until they eventually got Mahomes.  Heck, think back to Trent Green/Warner.  So, BY can manage, we may get some success, but if a stud comes along, we bail and roll with the new gun.

      We win 2 games largely due to historic rushing from our backup RB we signed in free agency and now the huddle is regarded as the most toxic place on the internet because not everyone shares the same opinion that Bryce Young has proven himself to actually be a long term starting QB yet. This place was just as ugly through the prime Cam years. People complained about him even when he was producing and we were winning the division. Things were just as ugly through the Jake years. Sometimes people would get so irate and fed up with him they would literally be calling for his head. How about we just give eviscerating one another a breather and see how this team and Bryce look on the road. Nothing anyone can say is going to make a difference until then.
