Trade idea

[Cruzer1]

The Lions need all the picks they can get.

How many waiver wire QBs have an 82% completion percentage and go 37-45 with 3 TDs and 2 INTS (one of which was a tipped ball by his receiver) in their debut against a good defense like that? If Mike White keeps up those kinds of numbers and cuts his INT rate down to 1 or fewer a game, he's going to be a commodity on the trade market. Now, if he goes out over the next 2-3-4 games and lays an egg on the field ala Matt Flynn, than this conversation is done and we move on. If he doesn't though, I think Holmes and Co. have to be at least pondering that option.

Gardner Minshew who has a much longer track record of success was traded for a 6th and you want to trade 3rd for this guy because he had one nice game? 

Also, why are the Jets trading Wilson again?

First off, I said I'd consider offering a pick for him if he plays like he did against Cincinnati for the remainder of the season and cuts down on his INTs. Second off, I never said the Jets would trade Wilson, just that they would have a decision to make between White and Wilson if White played at a high level thru the rest of the year.

They just drafted Wilson at #2. I can't imagine in any scenario even if White plays well the rest of the season that they move on from Wilson.

Even if White plays well the rest of the season, like Minshew did in his 1st season, you offer a 6th at most. I wouldn't mind taking a flier on a guy like that if he lights it up the rest of the season but a 3rd is waaaaay too steep.

Fair enough on a 3rd being too steep. As for the Jets trading Wilson, Arizona did it after taking Josh Rosen with their 1st round pick because they felt someone better was there next year in Kyler Murray. With White getting hurt last night I think it's all a moot point now.

Murray was a #1 pick, much different situation.

I get saying no on Wilson, but if Mike White keeps playing at a high level you wouldn't consider trading a 3rd or a 3rd+ and roll the dice on him? We'd need to see more than we saw from Matt Flynn back in the day, but if this production keeps up through season's end I think we have enough draft capital to roll the dice. If the Jets are insisting on a 1st or 2nd in return for White, then I'm out, but I'd be in on a 3rd or 3rd+ if this production level sustains.

lol  go home tater, you're drunk.

15/26 0 tds 3 ints.  36.5 qbr
