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

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.

      Serious Thoughts Fellas What numbers would Bryce..

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.

      Mustard BBQ sauce only. Bessingers or Melvin's BBQ sauce.  However Bessingers is the best in the world, Melvin is 2nd.    I found this article    In fact, the New York Times Magazine described the sauce as “terrifically balancing the tangs of mustard and vinegar with a wood fire's charry flavor.” While helping his dad, Joseph “Big Joe” Bessinger, as a teenager in the kitchen of the family's first restaurants, Thomas learned the secret recipe for the gold sauce – ... https://www.bessingersbbq.com › t...
