I'll be honest, I didn't like the trade when it went through. I hated it. But, after a few days thinking about it, it started to grow on me. But still, when I started hearing how we were looking at trading Bell and Diaw to NY, I was excited to see what we could get out of it... But, after the last few games with Diaw... I don't want to get rid of Diaw. I could care less about Bell, because he really has digressed over the last few years.

Diaw is really making it hard on opposing defenses. I still think his defense needs some work, but defense is mainly heart and hustle. It's "want to." Diaw strikes me as a guy that if he gets his offense going and his shots are falling then he'll get hyped on defense. He really has made our offense a different beast with his ability to step outside, handle, pass, or get on the low block. I hope we keep him now. But, I hope we add another piece as well.

Yeah, but i'd imagine that league interest in Marbury is at an all time low considering how things have gone in NY and if anybody could whip him back into shape it would be LB. Most PGs have hated LB when he first signed on.

As for the not having played SG thing, we've got a SG right now that hasn't ever played SG before. If the guy can still put the rock in the bucket then he's going to play somewhere.

      I just want to see a big guy with an NFL certified cannon arm suit up for the panthers again. To me, it will show that they are at least  trying to take the QB position in the direction it needs to go.   Will he throw picks? Yes. Probably a hell of a lot, but (for now) I’m strangely ok with that… for now. I at least need to see a dude that CAN make the throws with some semblance of accuracy.  This is the time to see what the QB whisperer is made of. The offensive talent is there. It’s certainly better than most rookie/journeymen QBs will ever step in to. If he can get a random dude playing at a JAG level, then I might be sold.  Andy could really surprise in the Buffalo game. He (for now) still has enough arm for Tet and XL to show what they’ve got, but we all know it’s only going to be good for 3-4 games, max. He has vet savvy, and that does account for a lot. He also has a full week of practice with all the snaps to prepare.  My best case scenario going forward: Andy plays the next 2 games nobly (winning one would be a huge bonus) giving White a chance to learn some of the playbook and develop chemistry with the players. Serviceable Andy turns in to old man Andy in game 3 and White takes the field after halftime.  A high ankle sprain (lol, sure it is) is an injury that can buy the team a LONG time for BY to ride the pine…. Maybe even IR. His peak trade value is now. Get what they can for this albatross. He’s now shown that he can be a mid level backup which does hold a significant value for the right team.  Not even in my wildest dreams do I see White being anything more than a JAG, but that’s ok. JAGs with a big arm make great bridge QBs that at least won’t have your play makers stagnating. Keeping BY under center is a 100% recipe for stagnating high ceiling (Tet/XL) dudes and/or not allowing them to take the next step in their development. Why even practice the good half of the playbook if the QB can’t make the throw? After a while, you’ve now got high ceiling guys who can only run a limited route tree. No thanks.

      Yeah okay fair enough.  Maybe the point is if you have a better system and players you can dumpster dive for a RB and if you don’t you have to shop top shelf. I dunno.    I would put my assets into the best OL I could get and let them make UDFA like Rico look like stars. As opposed to putting CMC behind a makeshift OL. And right now I don’t even remember who was on the OL when we took him, just sayin.
