Wanna trade with the Bears again?

From the Red Zone: Johnny Knox could push for a trade

Iffy on the idea myself. Lord knows he's fast and could be used in a DeSean Jackson type role, but I'm not sure how durable he is and I think we may already have enough receivers to pick from. If it weren't for the Gettis injury, I doubt I'd even look at this.

Still, we've had good luck trading with the Bears of late, and Olsen would likely have some insight to offer on whether it'd be a good idea or not.

Worth a thought, but I'd likely say no to anything higher than a late round pick in return.

has anyone heard the severity of the gettis injury yet?

Not a word.

If it isn't bad, I wouldn't give this notion much more thought. Looked like it might be though :(

That, plus Rivera doesn't generally seem all that thrilled with our receiving corps.

He is pissed that he would be the #3-#4 WR in Chicago.

With Naane, Gettis, LaFell , etc on the roster.....he would not be guaranteed to be any higher than that here.

Assuming Gettis is healthy. Plus LaFell doesn't exactly seem like Rivera's favorite player right now.

As a pure vertical threat, something the Coryell offense can use, he's worth a look.

That said, Mike Martz runs a version of a Coryell offense and he considers Knox "inconsistent".

(though in fairness he also considered Greg Olsen trade worthy)

Again, I'm iffy.

I agree that he is worth a look from our perspective.

Given "why" he wants a trade is what would concern me.

Seems he is pissed that he is not the #2 WR now....seems like a whiney little bitch to me.

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
