Dead horse, but we need V-Jax

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.

      Maxx Cosby deal with Ravens off.

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      Having trouble finding all these articles saying the Raiders withheld information. Here’s the latest from Crosby’s surgeon: ElAttrache told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Wednesday morning that Crosby was "doing very well in the early part of his rehab and recovery from surgery to treat a significant meniscus tear and the related stress injury to the bone and cartilage in his knee. He is certainly on track in his planned program." "We truly respect the work of the Ravens' staff with Maxx regarding the contract physical exam. We also understand the challenge the staff faces when tasked to provide a future risk assessment based on an evaluation early in the recovery process," ElAttrache said. "This is especially challenging when dealing with an elite player like Maxx considering the level of commitment necessary for a team to obtain him. The timing of this assessment is unfortunate because the apparent risk will lessen as his recovery progresses and his return to performance over the next few months becomes clear."     So the Ravens excuse is the future risk assessment based on the physical, not that the Raiders withheld information. They found an excuse to save face publicly. They had the right to cancel the trade for no reason at all, but they’re trying to save face with the most acceptable reasoning they can find. I’ve heard and seen the Ravens getting dragged everywhere for this. You know what would be an easy way to put a stop to that if you’re the Ravens and the Raiders were actually the shady ones withholding information? Just come out and say that you were not given all the medical information. But they aren’t saying that. I guess they’re just taking the bullet for the Raiders just because?    Speculation indeed.

      Two first round picks for a guy with very questionable knees who will be 29 this summer. Yes it is safe to say the Ravens got cold feet.
