Dead horse, but we need V-Jax


top dawg

Recommended Posts

The season, and the hope of the fans and some of the players, is fast going south. For me. now, this year is all about keeping some sense of hope for the future of the franchise before the window of success completely shuts upon our talent and potential. I really feel bad for guys like Smitty, D-Will, and faithful fans who have supported the Panthers since before they ever took the field. I don't want to completely degrade into the likes of the Lions, and I never thought that that would even be a possibility for the Panthers.

Many have alluded to the fact that Jerry Richardson is concerned with the business of the NFL to the detriment of the Panthers (which, on the surface seems like its nonsensical), but with the recent purging of vets---and the refusal to sign others---I am beginning to become a little cynical, myself. about Richardson.

I realize that there are many problems with our team right now. and that there are no easy fixes for all of the Panthers' ill, but one thing that could be easily fixed is to put a legitimate threat opposite Steve Smith. Vincent Jackson would not oly provide that threat, but it would be a good-faith effort to show that Richardson still gives some credence to the desires of the fans. and is willing to make logical moves with his pocketbook in order to improve his product on the field (especially with pending blackouts a real possibility, as well as a general malaise by the fans of the FO's on making).

Like I said. I know its like beating a dead horse, but I still believe it needs to be said.

They won't budge on their demands for a 2nd and 3rd and we don't have a 2nd and theres no way we are trading our 1st so it would never happen. The guys to go after were Boldin and Marshall who both had reasonable price tags and we didn't show a bit of interest so we won't go after Jackson even though we should if they make the price reasonable.

    • damn I wish somebody would sign him. This has been going on for weeks.    I think if the team wanted to sign him we probably would have heard something about interest on our part.    Or any TE. It looks like they have set that room. And we have taken guys two years running, a guy like this would be blocking them. We need to see if they have it or not. And we should see if Tremble is gonna ever do anything.      In general, with the TEs
    • Dude, there aren’t rose colored glasses big enough for you to call this “not a bad draft.” BC was not a good pick. He was taken with the 6th pick in round 3 and he’s been a backup OL. Tremble also wasn’t a win. Another 3rd rounder who’s easily replaced. Only reason either of them started games is because of injuries or a lack of a better starter. Chuba’s got heart but he’s had one solid year behind a solid run blocking unit. Other than that he’s underwhelmed and like we saw with Dowdle and Foreman, it’s not hard to find cheap pickups who perform as well. Horn has been a good starter but honestly that draft had so many solid starters we could have taken. With as many picks as we had, him and Chuba is absolutely a bad draft. We needed OL and BC and Brown was a terrible effort. You clearly didn’t watch the Senior Bowl if you thought Brown had a chance in the NFL. The huddle draft folks wanted Humphrey and Smith and instead we got crap and Mahomes was the winner.
