Santonio Holmes traded to JETS!!!

[carolinanimal]

I wouldn't call him "instrumental" in that game. I'll give you that he contributed. But then the next season, he was gone and left the franchise with a black eye and a gaping hole in their receiving corps.

And seriouslym when you think about it, what team needs a "bad boy" receiver with domestic violence charges on his record less than the Panthers, given prior history?

other than the one we already have? none.

I bet if "sources" said things like they saw a guy walking on water, or turning water into wine, or crawling out of a tomb, you'd believe them then! Since those things are so much more believable and all...

Touche..lol

How many excuse are you people going too make for this not being a good move?????

1. "Oh it's too much of a risk." Really a 5th round pick is too much too Risk?????? If he fugs up Cut Him you only lose a 5th round pick.

2. "27 teams didn't want to do it." Who gives a fug what 27 teams did I don't care. 25 passed up on Jon Beason how stupid do they look. 31 teams for 6 rounds passed up on Tom Brady. Lets not bring up what the raiders and browns don't do any more please.

3. "He is out the first 4 games" Again any 5th round pick is out the 1st 14 games because they don't make a impact. If I'm wrong name one for the panthers please. I'll wait??????????

4. Character issues ---- Steve Smith you don't win with a team full of alter boys every team needs a few thugs.

If he rapes team chemistry with his stupid doucheyness, we lose a lot more than that.

You only need one excuse to disqualify your entire list...

It is the total opposite of anything the Panthers have done thus far in the offseason...

[holderoftruth]

I just found out about this trade 10 mins.

Makes sense for the Steelers because they have to send a message to their entire roster.

But only for a 5th round pick..... Jets got a steal

How bout that we don't have a fifth round pick?

No way I'd have given up a fourth. And if our best offer was a sixth, they had a better offer.

For the record, teams didn't "pass" on Jon Beason. They took another player they felt was better suited to their needs. Pretty sure the only linebacker taken ahead of him was Patrick Willis.

And I'd dispute that every team "needs" a guy with domestic violence issues :nonod:

I guess you have a bad memory or you don't pay much attention. We did have this guy named Captain Munnerlyn last year.

What fuging team chemistry??? You have a whole Dline who haven't played with each other at all. How would he mess up team chemistry with Steve Smith on the team. As soon as he gets out of line pop goes the weasel. I could see what you are saying if we didn't have such a dominating personality like Smitty. But we do he would fall in line or get cut and you only lose a 5th round pick. No risk again.

[Jon Snow]

The panthers did not want him! Get over it!

[chbright]

moss was a quitter and smoked pot and the pats wisely stole him from the raiders where he has again showed why he is a force. holmes is a superbowl mvp, and even with the conserns (moss had them too, he could have been sat for substanse abuse if he was caught) its a 5th rounder. which would you rather have tank tyler or santonio holmes? i wonder if we could even get a 7th for tyler at this point, that was a move of utter desperation. this is a pickup thats is for a high caliber player thats also an absolute kucklehead (not packman bad but still an idiot).

i understand why we dont do this though $$$ give up another pick (oh noes!) and character concerns (um smitty should have the same issues with his 2 assualts on players but thats cool with everyone). if he stays clean for even 1 year, the jets come out like bandits for 2010 (as unlike edwards holmes can catch). if he doesnt he is essentially a little worse than tank tyler in 2009 who was a scrub forced to start do to injuries (irvin, kemo, leonard).

[Mr. Scot]

other than the one we already have? none.

Getting in a fight with a teammate is a far cry from domestic violence.
