Santonio Holmes?

There was a thread on this somewhere before - but since I'm bored at work...

...not really.

I would like to pick up a FA receiver but not only do I not think that's a huge priority for us (there are several positions we need more than that) I would not want to add someone who pitched that kind of temper tantrum in the middle of a game. I understand it's an emotional game and tempers flare but there is a world of difference between a flare up and completely quitting on your team.

He didn't do himself any favors acting like that no matter what the reason is.

The guy makes terrible decisions. He was in the NFL mecca (Pittsburgh) to start his career and had a diva attitude and made terrible decisions and ended up out. Then he goes to the OTHER mecca for NFL (and all of sports) to play for a very promising team and ends up out. Now you want to bring him to Charlotte? No thanks...there are plenty of talented WRs in the draft that our QB can make look good if we want to go that route. We don't need Holmes.

do you all pay attention to football or do you just form your own biased opinions based on how you think something should be?

Tell me Smitty wouldn't have done the same exact thing should he have went 6 games out of the gameplan or his QB ignoring him...

If anyone ever thinks that locker room chemistry doesn't matter.....or that a disruptive personality won't have a negative effect on a team....see the 2011 Jets....never worth the risk and it shows much more respect towards the quality players for management to pass the bad apples by.

    • I've shown you numerous comps for other tackles in the same age and talent range.  His contract, taking into account his age, health, etc.  is the going rate.  It's a fair deal. I've shown you examples of how long it usually takes to find even an average replacement.  Hell, look at every tackle that has ever started for the Panthers.  How many would you consider a success?  They are not easy to find. After everything we've done with this team since drafting Bryce why would we decide to let our best linemen go and add a huge question mark at tackle?   FA is a crapshoot in which any guy available will have cons/issues.  If not, they'll cost a fortune.   Outside of a first or maybe 2nd round pic next year it'll take a few years for a tackle to learn the position at the NFL level.  There are still questions about Icky. Every vet NFL player deals with maintenance.  Between the contract value and history I'm not overly worried about his knee.  I contend his knee issue isn't anything to be overly worried about.  It's not zero risk but it's an acceptable risk.  Every player we draft and every contract we sign has risk.  You're blowing up his own negative words about his knees and ignoring him saying he is healthy and the knee is a non issue.  You have a strong chicken little complex with this team.  Being he has always been a Panther they are very aware of any health issues. We paid now because now is cheaper.  If his knee was really an issue they would have waited.  That tells me it's not the issue you want it to be.
