Should we deal Ladell Betts???

In recent history after a running back takes on a load such as what CP took on this year they usually come back injury prone or not as affective, example CP 2 years ago, Larry Johnson this past year, Jamal Lewis after his big year in Baltimore. In knowing that do you think it's still a good idea to trade Ladell Betts and have trust and faith in CP to perform at a high level once again. I mean seriously he only averaged 6 carries a game and his pass blocking is questionable. I'm sure we could find a guy off the practice squad to do that. We've all heard about Chad Johnson and also on the Comcast Spotsnet Charlotte they're speaking of revamping the entire Carolina defense including Julius peppers. CJ or JP would be a major upgrade which I wouldn't mind experimenting with. The problem is Ladell had most value after last season but if the F.O does their job this could be the type of deal that makes a imprint on Snyders Legacy

And if CP goes down then what? Of course NOT.

Absolutely ridiculous idea. It was bad enough that you mentioned trading Ladell and letting a practice squad bum be our #2 RB, but it was even worse to think Peppers or CJ would be good trades for our salary structure, let alone that LB would garner that much in a deal.

RETARDED THREAD.

You'd have to offer up more than Betts to get either of those guys.

Everyone on the site speaks of adding other players onto the team but they never mention who we're giving up, players plus draft picks. Other then Ladell who do we have that could attract another team???? I just put it out there....

And the offseason is in full swing.

:doh:

You don't think Marcus Mason could do what Ladell is doing now? I think so it's all about how they package Ladell.

Short and sweet..Gotta keep Betts.

Strike One,

Personally, I'd like to trade the guy but after this past season I don't know how much we could get in return. He didn't do anything for us last year and you're constantly seeing guys like Ryan Grant or Willie Parker come out of nowhere to have great seasons so I'd think that most teams would want to keep their big name players rather than trading them for a hit or miss RB.
