DeAngelo Beason

Settle for another decade of medocrity.

What if that player IS the future, and is one of the premier future players of the entire league?

He's just worth it. That's all there is to it. Opportunities like this just don't come up. There aren't any times in league history that I can think of where a franchise player of this caliber came available right as he was reaching his prime.

I'm not dignifying this with a response.

I am pretty confident this isn't going to happen.

I'd give the edge to Cam. Cam really set a new baseline for all subsequent top picks because of how he performed in his rookie season. It was unthought of that a rookie could pass for 4k yards... and that is completely disregarding the absurd 14 rushing touchdowns he put up. Melo is leading the Hornets to the playoffs, but I don't necessarily think he is resetting the standard for how top rookies should be expected to perform moving forward like Cam did.

Come back home big dawg

Once again, depth signing people. This is not a bank breaking move. They're creating depth and competition on the OL - one of the position groups where this team was terrible last year.

People are acting like this is big money. He's essentially cheap depth. Tackles are expensive. Even backups.

While I agree, this defense was already really, really, really bad last year. There aren't really many guys out there that could replace him and be an upgrade.

Paired up with a young offensive mind and innovator like Joe Brady... maybe. I wouldn't give up much for him though.

I agree. There's not enough tape to spend a top 10 pick on the guy. I'd stand by that statement even if he ends up being a pro bowler.

If you actually read what Jake said, he didn't necessarily endorse the guy. He more or less said "I've been there"

Not necessarily endorsing Jones, but I do agree that mobility is overrated. It's a band-aid that masks other glaring issues.

I don't think he would be costly at all.

Why would we not be able to afford it?

Racists.

David Newton is the one who said it. This is a pretty new story. Don't get me wrong, Newton is an idiot and this is at best well-informed speculation, but he's just as much of an insider as Voth. https://247sports.com/Article/Carolina-Panthers-quarterback-2021-season-Christian-McCaffrey-trade-Deshaun-Watson-Houston-Texans-160992696/

Never said that. I was just saying the OP was misquoted.

You mean good QBs are important and worth sacrificing a lot for? Wow.

I am not implying anything. There are insiders within the organization that have said the Panthers would include CMC in a trade that netted them Watson. Granted they are "anonymous sources", but no less legitimate than anything coming from Panthers beat writers.

Who says they want him? The only team that's actually tipped their hand at having an insane hard-on to get him is the Panthers.

I'm only saying what OP posted. Whether or not it happens is irrelevant to the discussion. And yes, it's so crazy that people are discussing trading CMC... ya know... like people who actually work for the Panthers have discussed....

Y'all have SERIOUSLY got to work on your reading comprehension...

Read again. The OP said trade #8 and CMC for Miami's #3. We would still have all of our future picks.
