Christian McCaffrey pondered as possibly being available?!?!?!

[Happy]

Thinking about this, CMC is valuable and I believe Carolina will need some help on defense; I propose giving Carolina both Star Lotuleleii-e-i-e-i-o and Trent Murphy in exchange for obtaining CMC.

Highly doubtful the panthers are gonna let go of their best offensive player lol good dream though , sounds like madden video game trade

What is it with the weird Christian McCaffrey obsession on this board?  As it's utter nonsense, I don't pay close enough attention to know if it's just one poster, but we had a long running McCaffrey fantasy last season too, right?

 

It's always so refreshing to hear from the Madden experts about how great it would be if the Bills threw record breaking money at a running back.  

[NewEra]

I would definitely trade Yeldon and a 3rd for him

[Alphadawg7]

Why do people start polls with such stupid lopsided choices? What’s the point of starting a thread if you don’t want to provide more realistic choices?  
 

Honestly might be one of the worst polls I’ve ever seen on here.  
 

I love CMC, but this poll is so utterly ridiculous to the point you can’t even take this thread seriously.

Lol @ this poll.

[Buffalo Barbarian]

Bro you need some realistic options, you cant go from nothing to two first and then more on top of that.

 

I didnt vote due to unrealistic options.

 

He's is great but he is a running back so no more than a second.

 

You've made other outlandish proposals, you should seek counseling, i think you're bipolar.

Can I throw in Mike Schopp and the Bulldog.

If I accept the premise of your first option than the 2nd option is the only right answer.

In all seriousness, yes, it would be terribly cool if this could happen, and I’d be happy to throw a 1st and a few 2nds his way,  but I doubt the Panthers make this happen—still, fun offseason what-ifs 

 

exactly, who in their right mind would trade one of the leading candidates for MVP last year? Makes no sense.

First, I don’t ever see this happening, but if so, I can see a 2nd this year, and a 1st next year, as we need our picks this year.  The article that just came out though with another mock draft had us taking the UCLA kid who is fast and tough.  That is more likely what we would do to save assets.  You just don’t give away. That many assets for any RB. It’s not like Zeke, or Barkley have made their teams get to the SB, and they are considered the best RB’s or at the top at least in the league.

[Bulldog]

This thread brings only one thought to my mind -- how much longer is it before the off-season is over??????

the panthers should trade him if they're looking to tank next year. i'd go a first but no more. you gotta pay him and the amount of touches he gets is gonna kill him.

Be careful banging head too much.  Rumor is it causes CTE but no one has proven the opposite - those with CTE tend to bang their head a lot.

He's the best receiving back to ever play the game bro as well as current best rushing back

 

? Something tells me Ladanian Tomlinson, Thurman Thomas and Marshall Faulk would have something to say about the first bit.

 

The 2nd bit is debatable.  There are about 5 guys with a legitimate claim to "best back".

If the Panthers are doing a full scale rebuild then they have to strongly consider trading McCaffery. If the Panthers are doing a Dolphins/Browns style tear it down to the bone rebuild then you are not going to be competitive the next 2 years at least and by then McCaffery will be on his 5th year option and due for an extension. You would be wasting two years of McCaffery's prime and essentially the rest of the his rookie deal in a rebuilding wasteland. You also run the risk of destroying him as an asset since you will be running him behind a lackluster supporting cast thus risking injury and other issues a bit more than normal. 

 

I think if you can get 2 first round picks and other picks/assets for him you have to at least strongly consider if a haul of picks (a 1stand 3rdin 2020 and a 1stplus late round pick in 2021 at a minimum) is on the table. But unless you are getting a package centered around 2 first round picks and another 3rdrounder then you can’t trade him. You have a RB who even after a 2 year rebuild will still be 26 and presumably have another 3-4 high end elite years in his prime left for a team that is better suited to contend. He still can fit a timetable of a rebuild so there isn’t an onus to trade him. 

 

I am curious to see what team will put together that package for a RB even one as elite as CMC who is locked into a rookie deal with 2 more years left. Kansas City would be an interesting team as they could try and package picks 32 and 63 in 2020 and their 1stand 3rdin 2021 if they want to add another elite and affordable weapon to that already stacked offense. But given that KC’s picks won’t be as highly valued as other picks, and while I think KC would easily be willing to give up 32 and 63 along with their 1stin 2021 along with at least one other premium pick in 2021 or 2022 I don’t think they are willing to put in 3 first rounders and other picks to put a package over the top. 

 

I don’t see another team that makes sense. Las Vegas would have made sense had they not had a rookie RB with a 5thyear option ready to roll, Minnesota, NOLA and Green Bay have quality young RB’s. I could see Miami making a play if they were a bit closer as they could easily offer picks 18, 26, 110ish (their early 4thround pick) in 2020 and their 2021 3rdround pick. But I think they want to build for another year before making a move to help them take that next step. Maybe Seattle could put together a package of picks 26, 59, 64 and a 2ndand 4thin 2021. But I think Seattle would rather just spend those picks building their roster and roll with Carson. So I don’t see a trade coming together.

Well I guess that explains a lot
