I can't believe there are people who still don't get it :nonod:

Maybe the thread title should have been a little more specific, along the lines of this:

Michael Vick will never be a Panther, ever; no matter how many ideas people post about how we could use him, no matter how many fact-ignoring arguments people come up with, no matter how many "but what if..." scenarios wishful thinkers dream of, it's never ever happening and it only annoys people and makes people look goofy when someone tries for the hundredth time to suggest it, so just get over it and stop cluttering the forum with ridiculous "We Need Vick" threads.

Maybe then people would get it.

(could you fit that into a title box?)

#1 reason the guy hasn't taken a NFL snap in 2 years. #2 He probably isn't in the best shape and isn't he 30, the age when RBs (which is basically all he would be on this team a wildcat QB) start to slow and lose production. #3 We have far more pressing needs for our limited cap space. We need some DT depth and a little more veteran competition on the OL couldn't hurt. All in all although I wouldn't just disown the panthers if they signed him, seeing as he was a once in a lifetime athlete at the QB position and he put fans in the seats and the money flowing, I haven't seen anyone in our FO that has even said it was a possibility or even that they wanted him.

Here's why he will not:

1. The media throng that will follow him would be a massive distraction.

2. Career completion % = 53.8

3. Career passer rating = 75.7

4. Character issues

5. The Skins will snap him up tomorrow and give him the keys to the franchise, LOL!

Got Jake?

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By mav1234 · Posted

      There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      Whatever they are in totality the cowboys are beat up all to hell on both sides of the ball and even that was too much for lil Bryce to overcome.  Bryce defenders have to hype up every other team and trash every other part of the panthers just because of the situation they’ve put themselves in.

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By SCO96 · Posted

      JB had a first round grade in the eyes of a lot scouts based on HIS TALENT LEVEL. If not for the injury he would have gone higher in the draft, possibly between the middle and the end of round 1. To get him just before the 50th pick is a steal. He'd be on a 4 year deal. You can't even renegotiate until the end of the season 3. You're basically paying him nothing for 3 seasons. I don't buy into all back are interchangeable. No they're not. You have average backs, good backs, then your great-exceptional backs. The latter category doesn't grow on trees. If a back is special it pays to keep them. The key is knowing the difference between the first two categories and the third one.
