Our Super Bowl window is officially here in 2015. Time to trade for Calvin Johnson.

[Bartin]

There are so many reasons to not trade for him. Compensation, money, injury susceptibility. Like logically it makes no sense, but screw it I'm in. Let's do it. Let's go all in. I'm drunk.

[GoobyPls]

But, but, but our future 

screw the future we are in win now mode, god knows when we will ever be this good again and the NFC is extremely weak. I can see us making a serious run right now without a good receiver but with someone like Calvin that would make us a virtual lock.

 

If not Calvin someone, trade a high pick if you have to.

[Sam Mills Fan]

I think it's just a fundamental difference in philosophy that you guys have. Would I be satisfied with winning a Super Bowl this year and losing Norman next season? Yes, unequivocally yes. If the choice is winning a Super Bowl and having some other bad thing happen, I will choose winning the Super Bowl no matter what the other thing is.

I'm all for making a move but would Calvin cripple our cap that we worked hard to make decent? Would Michael Floyds cap hit be too high?

   What happens when you don't win the SB? Did Percy Harvin help SEA? How is that Jimmy Graham trade looking? Torrey Smith? Jeremy Maclin? When is the last time a WR was what put a team over the top to win a SB?

The difference in philosophy is that norman leaving would be a certainty in this situation, winning a super bowl would not.

Megatron, no, Boldin, yes.  Jeffrey?  Maybe, if he signs a new contract definitely.   

[pantherj]

We're in the kind of position now where we really are a player away from being SB caliber. That position is WR. If something is there Gettleman needs to make a big move. Ginn or Brown could cost us a SB appearance. Need to do something. We need a proven high caliber WR and the stakes are SB high.

Brandon Lafell of course, lol

 

Before SMF comes back with a youre settling for mediocrity post if you dont agree with me for the 900 millionth time, note that this doesnt mutually exclude the possibility of upgrading at the trade deadline, I just dont think it HAS to be megatron or bust.

WE ARE NEVER ONE PLAYER AWAY.

Exactly. We all want better WR options. But not ones that will destroy what Gman has spent years building. We can't even pay his salary THIS YEAR! What part of that do people not understand?

[cbarrier90]

Because he's a FA next year and still young, Alshon Jeffrey is the one to make a play for and keep your flexibility intact, not Calvin Johnson.

You know better, nothing will be done.  Status quo baby!  fug yes!!!!  Ted Ginn and his drops for life!
