Santonio Holmes? I guess it couldn't hurt.

A hockey guy writing about the Carolina Panthers. That's precious!  But at this point, perhaps Sean Sarcu of Rant Sports has a point. Old Holmes is a return man also.

 

Holmes could be a useful addition for a receiving corps in need of some offensive punch, and no team comes to mind faster than the Carolina Panthers.

 

 

Holmes isn’t the same player that won a Super Bowl in 2009, but he’s still a smart, savvy wideout capable of making some plays if given the opportunity. He showed some flashes of promise in limited action for the disastrously dysfunctional Bears. While Carolina isn’t in such a great situation itself, it is certainly no Chicago (Rochester Jeffersons, anyone?). A change of scenery could do wonders for Holmes, and the Panthers would stand to benefit from it.

 

 

Well, it would be a move that wreaks of desperation, but that's pretty much where we are.  Perhaps he could help our anemic offense that relies so heavily on passing win some of these winnable games (on paper anyway), get us over the hump and secure the division.

 

Now let me go have a therapeutic moment of meditation.

can he catch with his back to the ball? because until cam gets some protection that buys him more than 2 seconds to throw the ball and/or shula draws up some plays that present cam with some real quick passes, and the defense doesn't suck and allow the other team to score some quick points, making us play from behind, it doesn't matter who we have at WR.

Our priority is about DBs, and OTs.

Our Wrs corps is good enough, fix the o'line, sit cam since he is seriously inujured, find us at least 3 starting DBs, save the private Krakken if this is still possible.. and the team will be back on tracks.

 

Our WR corps is not "good enough".  It cannot create separation, period.  

 

I don't see us fixing the O-line, or the defensive backfield before the season ends, so why not just do the best you can?  It's not like it will cost anything.

 

Addressing the O-line and defensive backfield and other priorities (and, yes, our WR corps should absolutely be one of those priorities) can only be sufficiently addressed after the season.  We can only make the best of it right now.

just a waste of money at this point, might as well try to carry as much cap over to next year.

 

Holmes won't cost us anything except what we're already paying some useless scrub.  The cost is virtually nothing, and it certainly won't have any cap implications for next year...unless G-man decides to sign him to a longer contract.

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      You making fun of or not realizing how important that actually is leads me to believe you don’t have either of those assets and are subconsciously upset about it, or you’ve never been in a position to be a leader and thus you don’t value good leadership which Bryce oozes with.

      I said this last night to family. You can look at Bryce as not a “strong and physical” presence and that’s not going to change on you can look at it, that this guy has the type of skillset that sets him up to only get better for the next 5-7 years every year. He’s not going to know less about the game next year than this year. His timing will be better, his pocket presence better (even though the guy works around a pocket amazingly in my opinion), everything is just going to improve every year and I believed he’s already proved the doubters wrong other than nut huggers on here who just want a big strong man to drool over.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18).  That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east.  Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability).   The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4.  The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California.   It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario.  The Panthers at home are 5-2.   In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams.  I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte.  I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate.  While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me.  How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now?  They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature.  Carolina 27, Seattle 24.
