Hmm, good point. Reminds me of those easily manipulated youngsters who join gangs just to be part of something. Redskins were closest, then they get another team and it makes them feel even more at home. I know that I for one, no matter where I live or if Lexington Freakin' Virginia were to get a pro team, I'd still be a Skins fan.

Re: Panthers | Team lands K. Johnson
 

As far as many of their fans being ex-skin fans I don't think that is true. Cause if they are ex-fans they were never really fans at all![/quote]


Yeah. Good point.

Re: Panthers | Team lands K. Johnson
 

If they weren't Skins fans, then I wonder what kind of fans they were. Falcons?

[quote=#56fanatic] He went crazy when wayne crebet was getting the ball in NY, crazy when McCardell was getting the ball in Tampa, and silent in Dallas when he was getting the ball. I doubt he stays quiet when he doesn't get the ball in Carolina. He may turn out to be a good pick up, it speculation at this point.[/quote]

I'm sorry many but he ddin't went crazy last year when Glenn was getting the ball more and ended with more yards than KJ and TDs. He has change a lot fro nhis days in NYJ and Tampa and als ohe know Carolina is his last team so he'll do everything to try to get another SB ring.

Also Smith was the player that recruited him.

Re: Panthers | Team lands K. Johnson
 

i'd have to agree with the ones on hear that say keyshawn is a good pickup for the panthers.

keyshawn will, at least, demand attention from the opposing team. keyshawn will also run routs across the middle, allowing smith to have less coverage down field.

personally, i do not like keyshawn, nor do i think he is a great reciever but he is definately an obove avarage wr that will help a offense that was close to going to the superbowl.

[B]Panthers | K. Johnson wants a shot at a ring[/B]
Fri, 24 Mar 2006 16:47:32 -0800

The Associated Press reports WR Keyshawn Johnson joined the Carolina Panthers to get a chance to win a Super Bowl ring. Johnson called WR Steve Smith "the most dominant force in the NFL at wide receiver" and said he was looking forward to lining up next to him. "I didn't come here to catch 100 balls," Johnson said. "I came here because I feel Carolina is the team with the best chance to get to the Super Bowl.''

interesting...

[quote=That Guy]maybe he's not the one that should pipe down.

KJ had 839 yards last year, he's NEVER had less in a full season. the panthers #2 had 440 yards with a better QB. that means this i an upgrade that should help the team. I know you don't like the baggage, but please list all the remaining WR FAs that'd give them 800+ yards this season (as cheaply).[/quote]

Keyshawn will be lucky to have 700 yards this year. In fact it wouldn't surprise me if Colbert has more yards than him. Colbert had a solid rookie year and at least he can improve.

You are right That Guy. I shouldn't have compared him to Gardner. Gardner has upside.

Age not minimum wage is what matters.

Re: Panthers | Team lands K. Johnson
 

i'd think that playing time and production are sort of important too.

Re: Panthers | Team lands K. Johnson
 

I remember towards the end of the season last year when the Packers picked up ol' 50/50, I saw him make this catch and then jump someone and then I get sad to think what might have been...



...if he would have been good.
