I'm pretty sure people suggesting last year that we trade for Russell Wilson were using similar logic.

Watch Wilson look like a MVP again under Payton.lol

Wouldn't bet on it, but being able to call his own team's audibles instead of the ones from his previous team would probably be a good start

[Move the Panthers to Raleigh]

Terrible idea. He would be constantly injured and not necessarily elite. 
 

No more glass players

[rayzor]

No thanks.

Yeah, that's what I was like. Damn that!

I think highly of Lamar but his price would sink us. Too much money, too much picks

[toldozer]

He's not a good enough passer. Once the wheels go, which will be by age 30 he'll be done. Not worth giving up the 3 first round picks to make the playoffs a few times and not win a super bowl

How does he win a MVP not being a good enough passer?

[LinvilleGorge]

If a team is willing to part ways with a franchise QB in his prime, red flags need to be flying. If Lamar was a FA, I'd be all about it. But he's not. You're gonna have to trade a king's ransom plus give up a HUGE contract. How is that working out for the two teams that did that this past off-season? One is drafting in the top 5 and the other is drafting just a couple of spots behind us. They both suck and they have limited assets to improve due to the deals they made to get their QBs.

He threw for 208 yards a game and won the mvp. The dual threat is why.  I said the same thing about Cam.  Once they hit 30 and lose the element it's over.

He should be a lot better this coming year. He needs to win the locker room first.

His dual threat abilities are a double edged sword.  He needs to do it but can’t stay healthy doing it

Cam didn’t lose the element, though. His shoulder doomed him.

No thanks. He’s good but too injury prone, too expensive in both cap space and draft picks, and too specific a skill set imo. If it was just one of those three problems I would say sure. But all three is too risky. Rather go with a rookie of we’re going to throw a bunch of draft picks at someone. The risk of not having proven it in the nfl is lower than the combination of cap space, injury risk and risk of not being able to utilize him properly in my opinion.
