Making A Trade... Safety on the block(Titans)?


*FreeFua*

Recommended Posts

Many have said this team looked lifeless out there today and has many times this season. We've been blown out 3 times this season, if that doesn't concern you, it should.

A single guy isn't going to be able to make a big enough impact on this D to turn this D around.

The trading deadline is coming up and Vincent Jackson's name is out there. Rotoworld speculates he could be had for a 3rd rounder. Since we're in the same division the price may be higher for us. I don't think there are any OT's that are on the block, plus there's more than a dozen teams that could use a OT.

Acquiring a guy like Jackson would help open things up for KB and help his development imo. This division is still up for grabs, VJax is 31 but hasn't really showed signs of slowing down. He'd be under contract until the end of 2016. Making a move like this could give this team a spark and more importantly the FO would be showing the players they're serious about winning.

Just a thought.

When we traded Beason last year, he immediately helped the Giants. Would be nice to find a guy like that at some position of need, but no clue who is out there. 

 

As for VJax? No, for the usual reasons. Contract too big (Cap hit of over 12 million per year for remainder of his deal), have to re-sign Cam, yada yada.

would they trade within the division?

Who knows, but I'm guessing for the right price they would.

I just threw VJax out there because that's who I'd want. Trades sometimes spark teams, but they also sometimes backfire like baseball fans saw with the Oakland A's (sry Montsta)

The one guy I'd try and trade for would be JPP. He's a FA at the end of the year and would immediately help us.

I agree but it'd piss me off to see us throw away a draft pick when we are paying someone who plays the same position 13 million right now to stay home.

Why not ask Buffalo for Mike Wiliams?  He is not contributing much up there and won't until a better OL or much better QB comes in.  Much like the problems Carolina is having, the plays simply are not able to develop in the split seconds available before the OL breaks down.

 

You cannot get any value of what you have at WR when your OL does not give your offense time to for the play to develop.

Definitely good thought about making a trade.  I seriously doubt it happens though because the Panthers really don't make trades at the deadline or trade for players.

I agree but It'd be pretty tough to acquire any tackle at this point in the season.

So then are we just better riding out the season with what we got? I like to view football as more of a win now type sport. No one is guaranteed the next play so when you have players like Cam you shouldn't ever throw away a season.

Yeah, more or less run what ya brung.  You came in to this season with major weaknesses and a lot of youth.  Let the youth get some reps and at the very least they can be depth players and backups next year with any luck as you upgrade positions.

 

You have a lot to upgrade and you have some big contracts to start drafting but you're not at the point where it is win it at all costs.

    • True.  Sam and Baker did not do well here but went on to better things under better coaching, circumstances or both.  The real question is, ‘why aren’t the Panthers able to get improved performance out of ‘broken toys’, similar to Minnesota and Tampa? That is a rhetorical question.  I think we know the answer.   [The cultural reference to Pogo dates me, I admit.]
    • Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of mature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.  Just so you know, I critique and perform research in my job.  I am often amazed at how the numbers do not support my suppositions.  I learned that my impression is often wrong until I look at the data.  In this case, I have considered all the important variables and he should get a shot.  Numbers don't lie--and when you and others resort to twisted name calling directed toward the poster--it verifies my position.  
    • I don’t get this, I know that is the popular thought process but I just don’t think it’s true.  For instance head to head last year the ACC had a winning record against the SEC.  The SEC had a losing record in bowl games. This year so far the head to head is 2-3 SEC and that’s with a fluke Vandy win in week one.  I see the ACC taking another head to head winning season after next week.  The SEC is mostly hype with 3 good teams, in my opinion.  But to say any ACC team would get exposed I believe is a stretch
