Final Panther cuts 8-30-2014

What's funny is Cotchery had 10 TD's last year by himself while Nicks had, wait for it, zero.

Yes, yes I know it was just a "fluke" season

While playing with Big Ben, Antonio Brown, Emannuel Sanders, Heath Miller, and Levion Bell as the RB.

Nicks had Eli playing like crap, was injured, had no RB, and only Cruz as the other legitimate recieving threat.

I think about how we don't have a receiver on roster who could do anything similar.

 

neither does pretty much every team in the league. There is one Smitty. There will only ever be one Smitty. His time here was done. Not because of money or playing ability, but because apparently he was a negative presense on the younger player and a locker room distraction. I have met him several times and he has always been very friendly. But get him around football and the devil comes out. It's time to move on and quit talking about it.

What do we have? WRs that are tall (Cam tends to throw high).  WRs. that can catch the ball (Even Smitty dropped more balls than people care to admit--Lafell was born too late, after Stickum was outlawed.), WRs that don't punch teammates.  Our new WRs will improve while the crew from last year were at or past their peaks.

 

Look at the WRs and the TEs.  We are tailoring the offense for Cam.  Maybe we don't have a 35-year old speed WR who makes $7million for 745 yards and 4 TDs.  Is that really what people are bitching about?

 

Cutting Steve Smith saved this team $16 million over the next 3 years.  How happy would people be to see a 37-year old has-been counting $9m against the cap in 2016?  You have to see the complete film, not just the trailers.

He outperformed both of the FA scrubs (Avant and Cotchery) Getts signed.

 

He didn't exactly outperform them. He was just thrown to more. There is a big difference. Cotchery and Avant have been successful in the league for a long time. They aren't exactly scrubs. If you really think that, then you know nothing about football and probably shouldn't comment.

They have been successful in their roles throughout their careers. Cotchery may have been a #2 in his early-mid twenties, and even then he was overachieving for his abilities - and those teams weren't exactly loaded with recievng talent. Avant has never been more than a slot guy at best. Telling someone they know nothing of football for being unimpressed with Cotchery and Avant in their current roles while dismissing the fact that they were playing lesser roles surrounded by explosive talent in their best years is pretty ignorant.
