So your saying your close minded.

No that's not what I'm saying at all. What I'm saying is that what you're proposing is ridiculous. Why on earth would we trade Cam now or any time. We can't just pull a QB out of thin air with his attributes. That doesn't benefit our team in any way what so ever.

Show of hands, who really thinks Cam will be here in 2 years? Is he worth losing for a 3rd rounder? Get what we can for him now and we don't have an issue with our cap in 2 years if we can ship Stew with him. What is Stews cap hit if traded this year through 2018?

Cam will be here in two years. There's no question about that. Let's pin on thread entitled, "post all your stupid ideas here," and be done with it.

While I appreciate your passion for the style and ability of Cam's game, it doesn't negate the cap hell. But with multiple picks gained from a trade we have the opportunity to stock our roster with quality cheap playmakers. Additionally, the money we save in two years not having to pay Cam will go to pay Luke and add some nice pieces in free agency.

It is for sure a gamble to replace Cam himself but to have the potential to add 5 or 6 more quality play makers at the same cost might be worth it.

where were all you crazy people during the season? god its like every childish nut Panther fan comes out of the woodwork in the offseason...

 

They were in the gameday threads which I stayed out of. Every reactionary negative doomsday opinion in those threads can be attributed to these type of posters.

Looking at the prospects so far this year, it doesn't look good. With all the guys we lost, it certainly feels like a rebuilding year. In terms of talent, Cam is the best. It is a stupid idea to trade Cam away based on his talent and how hard it is to find a franchise QB. Yet entering year 4 of Cam's contract, I still have my concerns about Cam in terms of the mental aspect of the game. You can't put him in a neat box like you would be able to do with Russell Wilson and Andrew Luck. He has an explosive character, and is known to sulk a little bit if things go south. It's for that reason, not being able to put him in a neat box, that scares me about him. Right now we don't have the weapons to help him out (last year was a struggle in this department, how much more this year), and we don't have the line to keep him upright. (Cam is still working on his foot work, and at times hold on to the ball too long. He even has that glitch at times where he does a 360 in the pocket, running right into a DE)

I admit it, I'm a coward in this regard. Cam has the ability to be a source of nuclear fusion out there on the field, and be the best QB ever to play in the game. Yet based on everything I said, I would honestly consider trading Cam if the Browns offered both of their 1sts, their 2nd, and next year's 1st (along with possibly another pick in next year's draft) This would allow us the ability to get Greg Robinson or Jake Matthews, along with two good receivers and extra help. I believe Derek Anderson could step in and do a fine job with that kind of talent, and our defense would still be great. With the money we would have spent on Cam the following year, we would continue to build the team up at other positions. I would honestly take that deal.

Exactly. I only think it would be hard to get that many picks for him. I'm all in for that though if the Browns are.

I was just adding Stew into the mix to give them more of an incentive at a cost of cap rather than picks and benefiting us by clearing some cap. However as someone pointed out earlier, getting cap space back for trading g Stew may not be as easy as it sounds. IDK.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Wanting that type of play and being okay with paying $55 million a season for it are two entirely different things. If Bryce were to become the same player Purdy has been, then he would surpass my expectations of him and I'd be okay with him as our QB of the future (and again, I've long been one of the bigger anti Bryce people here who doesn't think he is capable of being our long term solution). But in no world would I be okay with paying him THAT kind of money, paying an average starter elite money is just a terrible decision.

      I don't think they can overcome that mistake. Hell Lance was a hiccup compared to this. He isn't going to be able to carry that price tag and now he is going to have to do just that. Lol. The NFL is so dumb sometimes.

      So, one could say that T-Mac is quicker than someone of his size should be and while he might not be quite as fast as Evans in the 40, he's more athletic than Evans. If only someone, anyone, could have seen that in his tape and mentioned that on here, hmmmmmmm In all seriousness, hearing he tested in the 89th percentile in that drill at his size is crazy impressive.  Just tried to look up the times of the top WRs in the league right now, most don't show at time for that, but I did see Chase ran his in 7 seconds flat. I honestly don't know how true this is, but I do remember seeing one breakdown of his tape and the person said he has quiet and efficient feet.  That he's really good at using the minimal steps possible to make his cuts and because of that, it actually makes him look slower to the human eye because you don't see all the quick chop steps that the guys like Tyreek would use in their running. I'm still in a state of disbelief that he's a Panther and it might not fully hit me until week 1 and I see him out there making plays for us, still feels like Goodell is going to just be like, "YOU GOT PUNKED!!!  hahaha, he's a Cowboy now, suck it"
