Would you sell the farm for Barkley...

4 looks like his floor. And many believe he is that once in a generational talent. And I know the chances of us making a move this drastic are out of this world but,humor me.. given the state of the team, and what it would take to move up to say 4. Would you be willing to pull a mike ditka sans Ricky Williams for Barkley? (It’s the off-season and we have no owner or gm...sorry)

If this past draft has shown us anything, it’s that you can find good RBs later in the draft.  You can certainly get a beast like fournette early, but u can get a Alvin Kamara late and be just as happy.  This is the case most years to be honest.  No desperate team is dropping a whopper of a package to move up from the 20s to top 3 for anything but a QB.  Def not for a RB!

RB is not a position to covet high in the draft.  If you have a pick and he happens to land there you take him. Sure.  But betting the farm on a RB is not good. It’s obey hi great gamble a first to spicing I b one butto package future 1st rounds or other picks could be devastating .  Only for a DE or QB would be the general rule

    • He had games where he was a top 10 QB that week, vs Saints, Falcons, Eagles, Chiefs, Bucs.  Amazing performances that I think show what he can do consistently.  
    • We both know there's more that goes into batted passes than just the height of the QB. Most people here have readily acknowledged this and there were numerous discussions about it before we drafted Young. But if you are presenting a POV that Bryce's height hasn't tied to issues with his footwork then there's nothing anyone is going to be able to say to sway you and you know this. Even beyond the footwork I recall a redzone play where Bryce couldn't see around his right tackle at all where a receiver was waiting practically alone in the end zone for a touchdown. There are real world circumstances that are going to show up over the course of the upcoming season and it's up to Bryce and Dave Canales to make adjustments and do anything they can to mitigate negative instances and yes that begins with Bryce's footwork again. Thanks for your time. Have a nice weekend.
    • I'm arguing that should those supposed deficiencies, like height or pocket footwork, be as consequential as you and others have claimed, then there would be a clear, observable impact in the data. That's not unreasonable. For example, batted passes are often used as a size-related concern (see: Baker Mayfield), yet Bryce ranked among the lowest in deflections at the line. If his stature is such a limitation, why isn't it showing up there? Or are you suggesting that's why his passing yards fall short of your expectations? If the latter, I would hope that you're not discounting yards left on the field due to drops (of which he led the league in).  Also, asking for specific, measurable benchmarks isn't aggression... it's accountability. If that feels uncomfortable, it might be worth reflecting on how much of your anti-Bryce argument is grounded in subjective perception rather than objective metrics. So, again: do you have any specific KPIs beyond total passing yardage, height, and weight that you consider relevant to evaluating whether a QB is top-10? If you want to add YPA and passing yards per game to those metrics, that's fair, just be clear about it. But let's not pretend that asking for clarity is some kind of provocation. I'm simply trying to understand the actual criteria... not just the vibes.
