Give Richie Incognito a shot?

[Carl Spackler]

The XFL would've been perfect for this guy.

Dallas or Oakland will sign him.

He does seem to fit the Raider mold.

BTW What was your user name before Batman?

Bruce Wayne

LOL

[PantherFanOne]

Kicked out of Nebraska...

First pro team didn't want him back...

Sexual harassment / battery allegations...

Known to use racist language...

Known to be a locker room headache...

Widely despised in the league...

Plays a position where chemistry with teammates is important...

Would never fit in with current Panther linemen...

Hell no.

 

Exactly. No way would I want Richie Incognito,a proven slime ball on the Panthers. I can't believe any level headed fan would want him with all the baggage he has carried with him for years.

It most definitely could, and quite a bit...

 

You must've missed the first part of my comment. It couldn't hurt from a pure football standpoint. It could NOT hurt our o-line or our cap space to sign him if he came cheap..

The game doesn't exist in a vacuum.  It's played in the real world.  That means you can't just put these guys out on the field and ignore what's going to happen in the locker room.

 

Put another way, you can't sign the "talent" without the headache. And "headache" is a pretty mild word for Incognito.  "Cancer" would actually be more appropriate.  And the talent in this case is overrated.

 

It doesn't matter how you spin it or what terms you couch it in.  It's a terrible idea.

I saw your other post about it where you quoted a fake exchange between the players and Dave if they signed Incognito and I agree with you about that. I don't know much about Incognito, but I do know that many black players on the Dolphins support him and are tight with him. Yes, he could be a headache and it could hurt us in that aspect, but he wouldn't be signed if that were the case, and that would be determined before signing him. He's gotten along with a lot of players, he could certainly have a possibility of fitting into our team. Remember the whole Riley Cooper deal before this season, and then Vick and McCoy and others came out supporting him? Then he ended up producing. I said it couldn't hurt from a pure talent standpoint, and that is the truth. Like I said though I don't know a lot about Incognito. Of course we wouldn't sign him if he wouldn't fit into the locker room, but if he would possibly (which could be determined) then I say it couldn't hurt to give him a chance. I DON'T think we should though (as I said in my first post), because of the whole media frenzy it'd create and also we don't sign guys like this, and I don't even think we need a lot of o-line help.

 

And sometimes you need to accept the headache to get the talent... Look at the Patriots trading for Talib. He created a lot of headache for the Bucs and even some for the Patriots (against us when Smitty put him in his right place) but there is absolutely no doubt that he helped them out a shitload (think Saints game, Jimmy Graham, 0 rec, 0 yards). Sometimes the headache outweighs the upside, but sometimes it doesn't, that's all I'm saying.
