We have CMC for two more years. Really?? So you think CMc will not get a new contract.?? Opinion, based on what.?? Two years that we will be totally noncompetitive. Hmm.. This is difficult to predict this early. Depends on free agency and how Tepper, Hurney, and Rhule move forward. Unknown at this time. In three years, there in absolutely no ways he stays I'm lost here---Your statement is predicated on what.?? RBs are NOT "cap hogs", at least up till now they haven't been. Why would he not re-sign?? ..but in the trade that i elaborated to...we would have 5 guys at that time. FIRST!! STOP IT!! This is basic arithmetic.. We will NOT have "5 Guys"!!! The ONLY ones attributable to CMc would be as a direct result of the trade.!! Unless we receive 5 picks for him we won't have "5 guys".!!!!! Every year there are 7 rounds plus UDFAs. We get those players anyway. NOTHING to do with the trade.!! PLUS, even if we had 15 picks, what would it matter.?? Unless they were all in the top 3-4 rounds, what is their value.?? We can roster a total of 53. All those extra picks mean NOTHING if they aren't ready to play in the NFL. They'll just be cut..... It's basically just looking to the future because again I don't feel this team can compete for another 2 to 3 years and certainly wont be contending for 5 to 6. --OK. Maybe so. Maybe no. So much depends on Tepper, Hurney, and Rhule as I said before. With the right mindset and FA looming large---- WHO KNOWS.??
Now does trading him make us better now? NO, absolutely not. But now doesn't matter as there is no hope with or without him. I don't believe this. There is always hope. ( not to mention I hate seeing a kid of his talent not be able to play on a competitive team, but that is personal, not business ). Thinking about it.... I agree with the sentiment. However consider all 32 teams. There is a LOT of talent out there on NON-competitive teams. They play hard and do their best every year. Not every good player in the league can play on a competitive team. Just the way it is.
OK...
Only problem with this is there are an untold number of subjective statements here that are commonly known within the communication field as "logic leaps.".
See my comments above in RED....
Saying something subjective, then holding it out as fact, then building an argument around it----- that is know as a "logic leap" and "circular reasoning". You have to have facts and objective, measurable statements and outcomes to support an argument.
