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.

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.

Hall of Fame talent? :lol: :lol: :lol:

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

My word :wacko:

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.

      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.
