btw...i know it's not panther related but it's local and he's someone i was hoping we would take a look at in the offseason. seemed like he had turned his life around and was on the right track.

I hope he's ok too. Why would he be in Charlotte?

[ChucktownK]

As long as he's not problem-ridden any more. More like Dallas material IMO. He looks like an alien.

Alright a receiver in charlotte in a car wreck for the second time in a month. If he was driving a Maserati then someone needs to do some investigating. Seriously though hope hes okay and its not anything major.

edit: ESPN says he is in serious condition.

he hadn't had any issues for about two years. if he really had straightened things out i don't see why not.

just something i was hoping we would do. he's got a ton of talent.

doesn't seem like we'll ever get a chance to find out, though.

He was in Charlotte visiting his girlfriend.

Oh god that's terrible. One my brother's friends fell out of a pick up truck, landed on his head and died. This sounds like grave stuff.

[ChucktownK]
