Im not saying SA will do terrible. Stephen Davis did wonders for carolina after we cut him and said he was done. BUT i think in this offseason we need to let one of the two backups go and make a move towards grooming some youth..i liked mason he earned a spot. We shoul dhae trded betts when he had some value.

Trade Betts for who? Portis is the face of this franchise and will hopefully be here until he decides to hang it up and a young guy is not going to want to play backup forever. Betts is a solid guy who is great as a 2nd stringer and doesn't seem to mind the role. Cutting Rock is out of the question being that we he's basically the best kickoff returner we got. Plus the guy goes out and plays smashmouth football week in and week out. Unless you wanna put ARE back there for kickoffs and you know how terrible he is at running back punts, I don't think you want him running back your kicks as well.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
