Edwards = Vincent Jackson

[Khyber53]

if this edwards doesn't work out can we rub it in all these peoples' faces that can't seem to stop f**king raving about the guy?

If Edwards does work out, will you take a hike and become a Dallas fan?

The Panthers are a run first and defense first team. There is no way that this team will have that much money tied up in a 2nd WR....just accept it.

Agreed! Anyone who thought we were going to pay anywhere near Vincent Jackson money for a player this year is absolutely insane.

1.) The panthers will probably never ever sign a player who is currently suspended.

2.) JR aint paying out anywhere that kind of money this year. The man is making a statement and sticking to his guns.

3.) You all better just hope we re-sign all our current starts next year, let a lone look for new ones.

After all they attempted to do with the passing game with the draft, OTAs, and camp... this statement is no longer true. They are a run first team because their passing game currently sucks.

Of course they tried to address it, but they tried to address it with young, cheap players -- not players that would command large salaries, a la Vincent Jackson.

It does no good to compare what we gave up in terms of draft picks when the real reason we didn't go after Jackson and other big receivers was money.

Jackson playing a tough game, there's no guarantee he'll retire if he dont get what he want. He could easily drop the price if teams not budging, and could easily drop the price if he switch to a new team and start to like them, opening for future discussions

Edwards (on stilts) = Vincent Jackson

The biggest difference between Edwards and Jackson is that Jackson pays someone to mow his lawn.

Proven talent that will be suspended to start the year, wants a MASSIVE contract, is holding out because of said contract demands and is one beer (maybe gin and juice) away from at least a year long suspension.

DO IIIITTTT HURNEY

People were saying the exact same thing about Jared Allen. Boy did Minnesota screw themselves on that trade!

I'd rather see Hurney roll the dice on a proven Stud who has a few issues, instead of a rookie project who may never be able to play in the NFL.

You're right. Since it worked once for Allen, we shouldn't take any character/behavioral/"guy is a fuging lush" issues into context from here on out.

We should also definitely be leaping at the chance to throw $50 million at a #2 WR as we're a pass-heavy team.

fug why wont we pay $50 million for a #2 WR whos suspended to start the season and is probably shitfaced in a car somewhere right now fug you hurney and richardson you cheap bastard

Jackson was a late second round pick who took years to develop, and he had a pro-bowl QB putting the ball right *there* for him. It will be interesting to see how he does without that.

Edwards is just as fast and has a better character. He will also work his ass off to succeed. I will be as surprised if he doesn't become a solid NFL receiver as I will to see Jackson put up pro-bowl numbers with someone like Matt Leinart throwing him the ball.

... and that when Edwards mows his lawn, someone pays.

Unfortunately your average football fan has no patience and wants the all important instant gratification just like the average person wants out of everything in life these days.
