Obviously referring to if we get antsy and try to trade for him. I'm hopeful Fitterer has learned his lesson. He knows this is his last chance to get QB right. Can't do anything foolish though. This would fall under that.

He said he won't take a paycut. He's been averaging about 13 million per season on his current deal. So 26 million minimum. Yeah that has a bit of a Hurney vibe to it sorry if you guys don't want to hear it but I thought we were done building our team overinvesting in linebackers and running backs.

Hopefully the Niners defense falls off a cliff.

30 million a year!? And what if he is proven to be damaged goods? He'll be 32 when training camp rolls around. We can't afford to take an L on another high risk signing like that.

He'll be 29 in April. Giving an aging linebacker a "sensible" extension sounds like a Marty Hurney move. That's how we want to run things again?

They're going to draft who they want regardless. Just don't throw the bank and draft picks at Derek Carr. It will only end in catastrophe.

Brian Burns has a more legitimate beef to actually say something like this. He's been on a rookie contract this whole time. Shaq's been off that deal for years. But keep caping.

Caping doesn't make you superior either. You aren't going to get an "attaboy" big guy.

If any Panthers player ever had a legit right to call out fans it was Cam Newton. But he never did not once. Not even now after all has been said and done. But after several losing seasons and zero winning seasons you want to call out your fans?

Literally this gif

Other former and even current Panthers have gotten way worse treatment via social media. I don't see Sam Darnold going on Twitter calling out fake fans or haters.

I don't see us getting a clear upgrade over him this season. He's a great guy and a great teammate. But calling out any fans is not a good look. Like what they have to say or not they pay your bills and fatten your bank account. No fans? No business. Why do athletes who do this not understand the concept?

The third pick is most realistic. People aren't going to want to give up what the Bears will ask for #1.

He's pretty much the same height as Baker don't overthink these photos. You're entering Ron Burgundy territory here.

Well we already have a young QB on the lighter side on the roster his name is Matt Corral. We saw how that went. Sounds dicey to add another to the roster and with the cost of a top ten pick to boot.

For context and compairson take a gander at Murray's injury history and probability moving forward. https://www.draftsharks.com/fantasy/injury-history/kyler-murray/10217 If we take him I'll accept and support. But comparing him to guys 6'4-6'5 that also have at least 20-25 lbs on him is hilarious. If he didn't play for Bama this wouldn't even be a discussion.

Are any of them basically the size of a young Steve Smith playing QB? Favre 6'2 Rivers 6'5 Eli Manning 6'5 Brady 6'4 Now let's do Bryce.

Size isn't the end all be all but over time it does make a difference in this league if you get higher up the ladder. The author could have done a better job stating his position a little more eloquently but his point remains. What happened to Purdy was not out of the norm for any quarterback regardless of size but it was bound to occur sooner or later that Cinderella story was not long for sustainability and people tried to tell ya'll that. As far as Bryce Young the guy is barely Kyler Murray's height. You do not roll the dice on that in the top 10.

Exactly. But surely having an extra 2nd round pick this year would have been an enticing carrot for him to pick us over the the Vikings right?

Evero just needs to make a call to the league office. They can't block him for long. We need to throw whatever it takes at him and make that hire.

You are right but it sounds like the Broncos front office in general is dirty and classless if they already blocked another interview before Payton even got there. Way to start things off for a new staff creating a hostile situation before you've even assembled a staff. I hope that whole thing is a dumpster fire. I wish the Broncos nothing but the worst.

What could they possibly get for him that would be worth enduring yet another lost season and not even trying to develop our younger talent in the process?

Well he obviously isn't going to do that and he will have at least a few other teams looking at him. Beyond that the QB position is one where contracts are only going to continue to balloon. The only affordable ones are either on rookie deals or they are backup tier. This is the league now people need to accept it. We have to draft and build around one.
