Should we deal Ladell Betts???

Ferrari, there's probably still a bit much Ladell/CP trade thread fatigue here from this past season. I don't think anyone's brought this idea up since August.

Betts is still valuable to this team, and more so to us than somewhere else. Besides, what could you get for him? a 4th round pick maybe? Certainly not Julius Peppers, though I must say if that offer comes up, we'd be fools not to take a look into it. No way that will happen though.

No. Portis has been injury prone, Rock Cartwright is a free agent, and Saunders is a big advocate of Ladell. No way this happens.

Yeah I'm a optimistic fan. But Carolina really needs a running back and I dont know how I feel about these DE in the draft, Calais Campbell might have potntial but look at Jamaal Anderson 0 sacks in 16 games

Portis is indeed injury prone, Betts is indeed a good back, and it's important to have a reserve who can step in and play well should Portis get injured or need a rest. That said, if we could get a good replacement for Betts and a high pick for Betts (e.g., a high 2nd rounder), I would favor such a trade. We have more needs than we have picks or cash to spend in FA. If we can get a decent replacement for Betts, why not? IMO, a 2nd rounder is worth more than an insurance policy RB who put up 300 rushing yards last season.

You know if Al is such a big advocate of Ladell why couldn't they find a way to work him more into the system this year. I said in the second 1/4 of the Seahawk game that they needed to try and run right up the middle with Betts which may have worked.

Yeah, I didn't say I'd object to it, I just said it wouldn't happen. I'm not against moving him if we can get great value for him. Is this totally hypothetical or are there rumors floating around?

OK, let's start all of the threads within this one... make your predictions for the new head coach, how many wins will we have this year, what jersey will we wear in opening day... will our jock straps be bleached during the off season?

Totally hypothetical as far as I know.

All hypothetical get rid of Ladell, Brandon and Mark, the rest will depend on the new Head Coach

We could pay for a room at the assisted living facility for Phillip Daniels
