Plaxico coming to Charlotte?

[caatfan]

They should be at least talking to Plaxico.

They're not, and they're not going to. Let's quit beating this dead horse.

that dead horse is going to get beat up continually until the next big name free agent WR comes available or says he wants to play for the panthers.

smitty essentially said that barring any injury to one of the players, plax most likely won't be called. that's not just plax, either. that's pretty much any WRs that are out there.

whether we feel comfortable with them or not...whether we feel the team should be comfortable with them or not...the guys on the roster are the guys they are intending to go into the season with and from all signs, they are more than ok with that. get used to it.

[Kick]

Why not give Plax a chance to prove himself before denying access to our program. Offer him a conditional one year contract. He would have everything to lose and we would have everything to gain, who knows maybe a Superbowl winning catch.

[rayzor]

you can go ahead and give him a chance. not sure what difference it would make.

denying access to our program? not sure we have that power.

coaching staff just doesn't seem interested.

Steve Smith: "I don't want to burst his bubble but my Carolina sources have pretty much come out already and said that they aren't interested."

So why the fug are we still talking about this? Shut up.

Because one the main issues with him is that he is asking for too much and it is believed to be one of the the reasons he is still available.

Phuck, man, how can we not be used to it? It's been forced down our throats like Castoria when we were kids.

What really disturbs me, other than our FO's history with drafting and signing WRs, is that when you look at teams who have historically won the Super Bowl, they seem to always have more than one known, legitimate threat at WR (and, let's not bring up the 2000 Ravens, please). They have always had at least two actual WRs that your average football guy could name. History appears to say that you even need at least two to get you to the dance.

Ask your buddies who root for other franchises, especially outside of the NFC South, to name our WRs. The only ones who may know someone more than Smith are the fantasy football geeks. You can talk about LaFell and Gettis all you want, but everybody knows Victor Cruz (for obvious reasons, but that's exactly the point when you think about it). Cruz became a known commodity with lightning quickness. Moroever, the toughest teams in the league absolutely have more than one known and proven threat at WR, and a few of them have added to their fire power.

Yeah we have Olsen, but I don't think one pass catching TE can take the place of a threat at WR. I could argue that the reason that the Chargers have not (and will not) win a championship is because they just refused to maximize their weak link at WR. V-Jax and Gates (& Tomlinson) just were not enough. I hope that someone steps up, but our offense is kinda putting me in the mind of the Chargers right now. TEs (and pass catching RBs to a lesser extent) are supposed to add to the WRs imo, not take the place of WRs.

Moreover, someone (CSX maybe) said any team is screwed that loses their top guy. This is true in a sense, but the big dogs at least have someone that your average NFL fan can name to step up and hold the fort together. Think of all the top prolific offenses in this league, and then think of ours if Smitty were to get injured. Hell, as a Panthers homer, think of what happens if LaFell gets injured. This is not true with the big dogs...one monkey doesn't stop the show.

Like I said before in this thread, our FO specializes in question marks at WR as opposed to exclamation points, and this has lessened our effectiveness on offense (even with Cam).

Why is thread still going on, I thought we already said we are not interested.......

Cruz was an unknown before last season. He had zero catches. Everyone wants a Cruz but nobody wants to give a Cruz type guy a chance.

The comment I made earlier was in response to someone who asked what would we do if something happened to our two starters. If both went down we'd simply be screwed. I don't know a team that wouldn't be.

Because it's slow and I find the topic still more interesting than top 25 lists, the weight of a Falcon player, or the replay of a game from nearly 6 years ago.

makes sense.....

So you're going to talk about bringing in a player that will never come here and that's already a fact?

Okay lemme join! I think we should try to make a move for Mario Williams.

I'm talking about our WR situation and the current issues with the team. Read before commenting and you will see my take on it.

No you aren't haha....

All you said is that if our 2 starting receivers were to go down we would be screwed. That's a just a morbid thought.

Stop bumping this fuging thread, let it die. I'll bump this crap when Gettis and LaFell blow up the league next season and Plaxico shoot's his other foot while still in free agency.
