Justin Blackmon

30 years ago??? Really? ? We're going to use a 30 year old model to build a team?? Not to mention the new conduct policy...

Blackmon can't even J Walk or litter and he's out of the league. .

 

Annnnddd.....we'd be out a 7th and a million or so. We wasted a million on guys that never got a uniform this year.

I thought the changes to the conduct policy only concerned violent crimes?

[iamhubby1]

Is he talented? Yes.

Has he been a head-case? Yes.

Can he turn his life around? Yes.

Could he turn into a consistently productive WR? Yes.

You are sitting at 11-3 and set to play a game for Home Field. Could he wind up in jail and miss the game? Yes.

But I say, for a 6 or 7, why not? It just could work. Players have turned their lives around. Or it could blow up in your face.

Justin Blackmon was HOF talent with an addiction that can be treated. Not everybody can be a perfect human being and this franchises insistence that they must be is why we have stunk for the majority of our existence.

Thanks Rae Carruth

Well.............  we would have b2b years with a player on the commish list. 

[B.BERSIN]

It doesn't mean nothing if he is always suspended due to his stupid decisions in life. I won't even try a 10th round pick trade on him.

Ladies and Gentlemen. Your 2015 Carolina Panthers.

Hall of Fame talent? :lol:

Blackmon was a good receiver, but not the football god people are making him out to be.

My word

[Mr. Scot]

And the choirboy argument is just stupid.

They don't have to be choirboys, but what you don't need are idiots who are a mistake away from a year or more of suspension.

[TheRed]

He's human, he's made mistakes, I think a change of scenery would probably do him quite a bit of good.

 

Being drafted by the Jaguars and having to live in Jacksonville certainly didn't help his chances of not developing an addiction problem.

And some  of this country's most beloved sports heroes were advertising cigarettes (Mickey Mantle) and a complete alcoholic; Pete Rose, Babe Ruth, etc., etc. the list goes on.

 

There was a time when sports teams paid you to show up and play, whatever you did off the field was of no one's concern.

 

And think before using a "30 year old model to build a team" when the Carolina Panthers owner believes his team can win games based on a 60 year old playing style.

Remember the proverbial 'definition of insanity'?

Over the past year, we've had this same discussion several times. Each time someone came on here making an impassioned argument for why so and so was worth the risk, and every time it was followed up by the guy they were arguing for being suspended again.

Blackmon was suspended at a time when he was being tested ten times a month. Yet even in the midst of that kind of scrutiny, he still made stupid choices.

And now people are right back here again...

The thing is Blackmon wasn't really making stupid decisions, he's an addict and not in control of his life. To me that's much different than players who commit violent crimes or get in trouble with guns.

The result is the same.
