    If we're gonna do this, do it now and get him here in time to incorporate him into the offense before KC. Imagine disrupting all the defensive game planning they've done on us just 4-5 days before they have to play us.

    Any traded player wouldn't see the field until the GB game at the earliest, IMO.   

     

    McD and his staff are conservative, process guys--not Sean McVay types.

    That’s a bad take. He’s not that guy before ever taking a snap. I can’t agree there. I have no clue if he’s good or bad but he hasn’t even played yet.

    "The desire to trade away veteran players makes sense. Carolina only has four draft picks in 2023, and a new coaching staff and/or front office will likely want more than that to rebuild this team their way."

     

    Moreover, the Carolina brass may decide to enter a full-on rebuild after being enticed by some of the top college quarterback prospects available this year. Even though it’s still early, the Panthers are currently in possession of the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft—something that could hold if the team continues its struggles and shops off a few of its top veterans.

     

    As Jones specifically stated, McCaffrey could be at the top of that list. After all, the sixth-year rusher is undeniably the best player on the team."

    We have no clue what they want to do. Cause they don’t lol. 
    They have Corral sitting on IR who may or may not be their quarterback. 
    I don’t look at their roster and see a rebuild. I see a need to develop talent which Rhule could not. 
    If the next coach is Sean Payton or someone who is from the offensive side of the ball I would think CMC will be a vital selling point in landing that coach. 

    No QB = no win in the NFL.     Matt Corral is not that guy.

    What’s the point in dumping mccaffrey unless you are confident he’ll never be healthy. 

    If the Panthers tank for a QB and then develop him properly (i.e., don't immediately throw him to the dogs), CMC won't be of much use to them.   Trading him while he still has some gas in the tank would provide more draft capital to rebuild with (like Beane trading Cordy Glenn to get ammo to trade up for Allen).

     

    That said, I'd give up no more than a 3rd round pick if CMC were in fact available.

  4. My brother's the Forest Gump of our family.    He's met dozens and dozens of former Bills over the years, just by happenstance.   He's actually become friends with a number of them, including Thurman, Tally, Christie, Metzelaars and probably half a dozen others I can't think of right now.   

     

    He retired from Disneyworld a few years ago.  One of his best stories was of Terrence McGee, who he was getting in the park for free.   

     

    In those days, you had to pay for parking and then get free admission with the employee pass.    My brother drove through the parking gate ahead of McGee, who just stopped at the booth and didn't move.    My brother went back to see what was wrong.    Turns out McGee didn't have enough money to pay for parking--apparently his agent only gave him a small monthly "allowance" and he'd burned through it all (even before entering the park!).   It always brought home the reality that some of these guys really needed help with managing life off the field.
