I miss the birds…

This. There is also one other (intangible) factor that is not frequently mentioned: leadership. Some people have it within them, others don’t. It is almost impossible to define and measure but, you know it when you truly see it. It is much more than swagger and bravado. If one of these two young men has both processing and leadership traits, pick him.

If you see Fitt smoking a cigarette later, the contract was signed…

Unless we're dangling Chinn, and to fully monetize his trade value, it needs to be with a team looking for Cam Chancellor 2.0 AND has a receiver we like that they are willing to part with. That's a very dependent path...

Let's stipulate that the team is leaning heavily towards Stroud today... but we are not drafting today. We have weeks of process to work through before draft day. At the end of that process, it may still be Stroud... or not. Evaluations can change based on new information that we are not privy to. It makes sense to not be clear publicly about any of the four, as the team may yet reach a different conclusion by draft day.

I feel you. We are at risk to overdraft a WR, just because we ‘must’ have offensive weapons for our new QB1. A FA WR (Chark, please) will be signed and that, along with Hurst, TMJ, Taviska and Sanders will be adequate this year. Draft a project WR in R4 or later, if we must. We’ll get another bite of the apple at WR next year when we have more cap available. There is just too much value at edge and CB this year to not take the BPA at one of those two positions at 39. A good defense can also be a rookie QB’s best friend.

I wouldn’t cheer it but, I would understand it. It makes sense to ‘monetize’ his value to another organization looking for a Cam Chancellor type SS. It’s just business.

Welcome to the Huddle and Panthers Nation…

Can you score HGH on the street corner? Asking for a friend…

If true, sad to see but, the right call on this young man’s part.

You're confused? Take a number...

Counselor, I will stipulate that everything you posted here is admissible to the court. The size issue for Young is a not an insignificant risk to me, making Stroud less of a risk. Not the better QB, just less of an injury risk. "May you live in interesting times."

Yeah, it was an analogy that is somewhat misleading, unless the listener carefully parses the wording. Even the other analysts needed clarification.

Sure. If the price is right...

Thank goodness. Let's not make a mistake now.

Agreed but, they may have needed the cap reduction now to sign other FA. Looking under seat cushions for spare change, maybe. Just making an uneducated guess.

Or… [hair on fire] “It’s five days into free agency and we haven’t signed a consensus all star WR1 yet. What is wrong with Fitterer, can’t he see that we are doomed without one?” Any similarity to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental.

What does he beat?

That much? You’re an optimist, praise be.

You are a sharp rayzor…

Wait. There is no instant pudding in the NFL?

Maybe Fitt is playing Moneyball at WR this year, also known as ‘WR by committee’. Spread the ball around with Hurst, TMJ, Laviska, R2 draft pick and Thielen/Campbell. “He gets on base.”
