Blackmon available for trade? EDIT: blackmon suspended for season

[KendrickPanther]

I'd give a 4th or less for him.

[General_Purr]

I would love to see Blackmon on the field for us. A big physical WR for cam to throw to im all in. Plus hes young. Sky is the limit. DO ITTTTT

[SOJA]

Blackmon is a hell of a football player. not sure if he is one you want on your team though

[CPcavedweller]

Blackmon scored like a 7 on the wonderlic and if you've ever listened/watched an interview with him....I'm surprised that dude can tie his shoes.

Considering the scores are confidential, how would you know? The guy can play football, I don't care if Rivera has to tie his shoes for him.

Boy, is it a good thing that fans have no say in running the team.

We've got people on here ready to throw high draft picks at pretty much any team trying to get rid of any unwanted player, no matter why they're on the outs.

If some folks got their way, come April we'd have no picks left. Meanwhile, professionals within not just the Panther organization, but those of several other teams are saying "eeeeehhh, no". Yet fans on here scream that the unwillingness to spend high picks to acquire damaged goods shows the team either has no clue or doesn't care about winning.

Sheesh :(

Mind you, there is one NFL owner who's shown a willingness to trade away picks that almost rivals that of the fans. Who, you ask? That'd be Daniel Snyder.

Sadly, that approach hasn't brought a Lombardi back to DC.

But I'm sure it will eventually, right? :unsure:

[Bloodflood]

Is this really what were discussing a day away from the biggest game in years?

[Floppin]

Get over yourself dude. I'd take him in for our 2nd in a heartbeat. By the way he young and no where near the idiot and bad person you're making him out to be. Perhaps we should wait to see if L. Fitzgerald or C. Johnson will become available? By the way, take a look at this video about him:

Read my other posts in the thread "dude". I'm don't have to get over anything. I have no problem with him as a football player. He's just dumb, and I was commenting on that. 

[jarhead]

i wouldnt give anything more than J Stew or a 4th rounder

 That is an insult to Stew

[Floppin]

Considering the scores are confidential, how would you know? The guy can play football, I don't care if Rivera has to tie his shoes for him.

 

Because wonderlic score results get leaked all the time. There's been multiple articles from reputable sources that revealed his test scores. 

[TheRed]

Those questioning his intelligence like he's a lamp post or something are going a bit far. The guy can play, there's no arguing that.

 

There's virtually no chance he gets traded though. If he keeps getting into trouble, maybe, but still unlikely.

[DaCityKats]

IMO this leaves out an important part of context. Gettleman has not drafted a WR yet. Yes, Hurney was awful at drafting WRs. But Gettleman may be better at finding young WR talent. 

 

I mean, New York's receivers aren't too bad, and Gettleman played a role in finding them. Let's not be so quick to judge Gettleman's drafting ability with WRs.

 

but this is the same scouting department that hurney had. thats where they get there info on prospects.

I will concede that much.

And what exactly would you do nothing? Sit and hope we draft another amini or armanti with our picks in the second or our third round pick? The fact is this team has done a poor job selecting talent past the first round anyway. Would it really be any worse to select a troubled but proven player? Just because mistakes have been made doesn't mean he will keep repeating those mistakes. Being afraid of your own shadow is not how you build a winning franchise.Sometimes it works out like for the patriots and moss sometimes it doesn't.  Buying a Lomardi would be signing a bunch of free agents but trading for one player isn't going to make or break the franchise. Adding another possible piece to help our qb this season wouldn't be the worst thing gettleman could do. No one is saying trade a first rounder for him,but anything beyond that is fine with me. You seem to come in at the same angle on anytype of player and sit on the fence a wait and see type. Tell me how that's been working out and how it's been helping the panthers? Because that's the route they generally take. How is doing nothing better than getting a proven player?

Given the choice between a bad transaction and no transaction, I'll take Door Number Two.

Hurney made his fair share of bad transactions. I don't recall anyone running to his defense with "well at least he's doing something.

This is the real world, not Madden 25. You can't just make a dozen trades a season and hit the reset button if it goes bad. Before you make a deal, you better be absolutely certain it's the right deal to make, because you're going to have to live with the consequences of it.
