Dude I was totally about to start the same thread. I doubled checked and squirrel is right we picked Martin 27th and Smith went 29th, he is bigger, younger, and actually played corner in college I think. He also just made a great play against Braylon Edwards. Imagine if we would have gotten Smith to go along with Munnerlyn, the secondary would be pretty deep. They definitely dropped the ball on that one, typical FO project player like Godfrey and Thomas Davis (that one worked).

He also had great ball skill in college. I was one of the many who complained about that move the next day. I hate the excuse of hindsight when almost everyone on here if they had seen the two of them play would have gone with Smith over Martin. They converted TD into a damn good player so now they think there genius' and can do anytime. Hurney and Fox's ineptitude is why they will not be in Carolina next year.

reasons the panthers gave why they took sherrod

1.Position versatility

2.the school he came from is turning out good DB

3.his size and speed.

4.panthers along with some draft people felt he would do best in a cover 2.

...so far he is not living up to were we took him...maybe hurney shouldnt have fired those two scouts..lol

just a side note here, but seems that a lot of successful coaches are going for players good at one thing and putting them together than players who are versatile...

with that note, Shaun Smith missed a lot of tackles... I went in and out of the game, and wasn't paying attention to him, but when I was, this is what happened... FWIW...

he is in the game, so I guess that's better than Martin being injured...

      He ain't singing another 1 year $4M deal. He needed to get out of here to show what he could do and he has. Now clue about the Commander's cap situation but they should lock him up.

      Cam Newton says being "erased" by panthers has hurt his feelings..

      By Dave Gettleman's Shorts · Posted

      Cam's been on record multiple times publically showing displeasure with many of the moves and decision made in the Tepper era starting with Matt Rhule. We all knew Cam's second stint was a PR stunt during a lost season to help drive some fan excitement. But Cam has stated that he was set up for failure by Tepper/Rhule when he was starting just a week after resigning w/o knowing any of the playbook. Then Joe Brady was fired midseason just as they were game planning over the bye week. Plus Sam Darnold's beef/jealousy when Cam was resigned. Cam has also stated how Tepper/front office/and coaching staff has failed regarding the development of Bryce Young. Cam has also directly said he wanted to be Panther's president in order to help with marketing and driving fan's interest which Tepper has likely ignored.  We all know that Tepper is the petty type specifically buying his former boss's house and demolishing it afterwards, having beef with reporters, throwing drinks at fans, etc.

      Could not agree more, he has the frame to add LB bulk. His biggest strength is playing near the LOS, great pursuit and closing speed. Man, it pains me that we let him go entering his prime, he signed a 1 year 4 mill contract. Ian Thomas, Shy Tuttle, Ashawn Robinson, Miles Sanders,  Josh Yijiam, etc so many over paid players and we don’t pay young talent.
