Would You Trade #9 + Stewart To Denver For...

That's what I was thinking Mav. No way they trade Miller and no way I would give up our first rounder, plus a player who was a former first rounder for another player.

Miller is awesome, but how do we know Kuechly wouldn't offer similar production if we take him in the first?

If we traded one of our RBs to Foxy, we better get an early pick back... I'm pretty sure most teams wouldn't give up a first for a RB nowadays, but perhaps a 2nd or 3rd is possible. And I still wouldn't want to give up Stew for a 3rd.

I don't think Kuechly is the same player as Miller by any means, even if I am very impressed by him and wouldn't mind him being a Panther (not 100% sure I would take him at 9 but tbh I haven't followed the draft as much this year).

Fox isn't making all the personnel decisions or maybe we could get a 2nd for Stew. As it is, we'd be lucky to get a third I think with the way teams find RBs all over.

Exactly.

And no, Kuechly isn't quite the athlete Miller is, but he's no slouch either. I see a lot of the same explosion though and closing speed on the field. I don't think they'll necessarily produce the same way, but the stats may pan out similarly. So, I'd rather take a chance with our pick than not have one in the first at all.

And I think this trade is even harder to pull for the same reasons... RB is one of the easiest positions to fill over recent years through the draft and LB is much easier to address than say DT or WR. So, not enough value for either side IMO.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
