Jstew For...

JStew and our #9 to Cleveland for their #4...

Welcome to Charlotte, Mr. Claiborne.

[Panthro]

Change that to Dwill and I say DEAL

[BeerMe]

Except if we change that to DWill, Holmgren says get lost.

[GotSwag?]

Eh. As much as I want Claiborne, giving up one of the best RB's in the league and a top 10 pick to move up 5 spots is probably stupid.

[PhillyB]

how on earth is this supposedly such a good idea that people are joining the huddle en masse to post it?

that's essentially trading j-stew for claiborne straight up, and then we lose our first round choice.

BAD.

fuging.

IDEA.

[BeerMe]

The thought process is that we can't keep JStew after this year anyways because we can't afford to dump that much cash into one position out of 22. If we stay at #9, we don't get Claiborne. So, it's more like trading 130 JStew carries for 4-5 years of Claiborne. Sweet idea.

[Panthro]

RB's a valued differently.

We are not going to get a Clinton Portis for Champ Bailey deal.

We are going to get a 3rd if he walks.

[JawnyBlaze]

The Unnamed Site says the Vikings like Claiborne at #3, so we might not get him even if we did this hairbrained trade.

SMOGSCREEEEN@@!

I don't care what some draft guru says, corners NEVER go in the top five.

I can't believe you people are acting like running backs have this immense value. We are not that different of a team without JStew.

[PhillyB]

chances are claiborne is going to fall to us. if he doesn't there are plenty of other options available at 9 that will improve our team in other areas of need.

normally fans come up with retarded trade scenarios that completely rape other teams but now they're all trying to rape our own team.

I couldn't disagree more.

The entire league is going to a two-back system. The reason our offense was a top-five attack last year is because of the dual threat of deangelo williams and jonathan stewart. they were both fresh on every single snap, and while one of them excelled between the tackles the other excelled around the edges and in open space. having them in the backfield opened up the passing game AND cam's ability to escape the pocket and run himself.

It amazes me that we're only a year removed from that clusterfug of an offense in 2010 and already people are trying to remove the components of what made last year so effective.

Yeah, we now have three backs...
