but they gag themselves over a guy like Herbert... 

how Herbert is seemingly getting a pass last night blows my mind.

Guy missed a few lay up throws with one of them being a TD

It was 27-0. Takes a lot more than just bad coaching to blow a lead like that

Vicks allowed his opinion, but stepping back and looking at it from Lamars position, he has no money guaranteed, playing on an injury jeopardizes him from collecting a big contract because the ravens have been reluctant to pay him.  I think if he had a contract past this year, you'd bet he'd be out there, but because he would have to risk his next contract, he's thinking with his head not his heart.  

That said, I absolutely would love to see Lamar in panthers colors, especially if we go with wilks as a coach because the threat of him running while playing a power run game would be very good for us and the NFC south in general is not equipped to stop that kind of game.

The team's that pursued deals like the one you're advocating look even worse.

All of Watson, Wilson, and Lamar are completely different situations. Watson hadn’t played football in 2 seasons, most think Pete knew Wilson may be past his prime, and Lamar just can’t stay healthy a full season (& may be losing his locker room). Not advocating for Lamar, but I don’t think we can keep comparing all three situations just because of bad play. A lot of factors in play. 
 

If next season Watson and/ Wilson plays great then what. Big IF but who knows with a new coaching staff, etc.

To give up what it would take to trade for him and then to give him a massive fully guaranteed contract, for a player who is an average passer who's game is predicated on his running ability who keeps getting lower body injuries and can't stay on the field.....

Would be the dumbest thing any franchise could ever do, as I've said before, there is a reason the Ravens haven't given him his contract he wants, they know he's not going to be a long term franchise QB for a variety of reasons.

If we did it, might as well just stop being a fan for about 5 years while the franchise tanks and has to completely re-set itself.

About him vs his teammates, no I don’t.

About him as a quarterback, he’s good but hasn’t proven to be great yet, especially not in the playoffs.

About making a massive trade for him? Hell no.

He’s an mvp and putting up numbers he has with the WRs he has had is pretty amazing.

    • It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.  
    • Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.  
    • I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
