Justin needs to stay away from the NFL. He is an addict and cannot handle the lifestyle. He would need a 24/7 babysitter like Josh Hamilton, and even then it would be dangerous to his sobriety. For his health and safety he should just retire and stay near his family. It's not worth it. He'll end up dead or in jail.

I don't know the man and you're probably right. But reality says he WILL give it another go and another team will take that chance. For a low pick (and that's optimistic IMO), that risk/reward is worth it IMO.

Risk/reward. The Browns reportedly balked at 2nd rounders before Gordon exploded last year. There will be a market for him IMO.

And people on here were ready to trade a second round pick for Blackmon based on the argument that 'he was worth the risk'.

Then he screwed up yet again, even though he was in the midst of being tested 10 times a month.

You don't go after people like this because they're either too addicted to put the drugs down or just too stupid for their own good.

You don't throw a million dollars at someone like that, much less put your team in the spot of depending on him.

You don't accomplish that by depending on people who have proven they're undependable.

It's possible to get a talented receiver without throwing money at an idiot.

 

who said we would be depending on him? i'd hope we wouldn't be depending on a 7th round pick. if we could get a top 5 draft pick for a 7th rounder, i think we'd be all for it.

 

 

it is also possible for people to rehabilitate themselves.

 

it's not like we're trying to throw the franchise away for this guy, we're CONSIDERING spending an EXTREMELY LOW pick on him. obviously our FO would RESEARCH the situation, and make an informed decision.

 

 

but to completely throw the idea out the window without considering it is idiotic.

      Predictions from Charlotte observer sports writers

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Fowler: Bucs 23, Panthers 16. Baker Mayfield only won a single game when he was an unimpressive Carolina starter, but somehow he’s 5-0 when playing AGAINST the Panthers. For the Panthers to pull off this upset, they’ll need to score at least in the mid-20s. With Tampa Bay relatively healthy following a mini-bye (and Mike Evans’ return is huge), it feels like this will be too tough a task. Kaye: Bucs 24, Panthers 20. The win-loss-win-loss streak comes to an end. It’s hard to trust the play-calling following the loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Panthers know what’s on the line, but they also knew last week, too. It’ll be close; I just have trouble trusting a positive outcome after a defeating one on the road. Zietlow: Panthers 38, Bucs 35. This prediction goes against conventional wisdom, but then again, conventional wisdom doesn’t seem to apply to these Panthers. This group, after all, has yet to lose back-to-back contests since Weeks 1 and 2. I think they win this one to make Week 18 interesting — and yes, that’s even with motivated Baker Mayfield and future Hall of Famer Mike Evans in good form. Why not?

      Week 16 - Other NFL Games

      Sam developed into a different player after he mostly sat for a year and learned a ton by being in that QB room under Shannahan in San Francisco.  Then he went to the Vikings who have a poo load of talent and another genius level offensive mind at HC in Kevin O Connel. I think they genuinely built up his confidence in a way he never did in New York or Charlotte.  He would not have been the same player if he stayed here IMO. Especially if he had been involved in that disaster season with Frank Reich in 2023, that might have cooked his confidence for good.  I guess you could argue we wouldn't have been that bad if we also kept cmc and dj i guess.

      Willis was impressive last night given the circumstances. GB and SF seem to just have it figured out as far as QB goes.   It's frustrating, but I enjoy seeing our old players find success elsewhere.
