.   Actually like this trade. Gives us speed and the space to grab a few more FAs. Give me Austin, Sherman/Norman, and sign pep. 

Austin who? Tavon? Oh fug no, for what he produces those snaps would be better off going to Samuel and Bird

Literally I think my last post before this was defending worley but whatever, gotta stay with the narrative to blame the huddle for this GM's utter incompetence.

Well, we could ask Gettleman if he will take on Shephard's 4 million contract this season, you know, since he signed him to a stupid contract.  I think Smith is far better.

They had the same amount of targets but Sammy had 8 Tds Smith had 2 and People see Smith as a guy who has reached his peak and passed his prime while Watkins hasn't managed to hit those marks yet

i think most Panthers fans wanted Watkins at a reasonable deal also

Sammy Watkins is going to get insane money... getting a WR like Smith for $5M who can both start on the outside and play the Ginn role is not a bad deal... I'm sorry- it's just not

Panthers acquire WR Torrey Smith from Eagles for CB Daryl Worley 
If I were an NFL general manager, I'd be terrified to make any sort of deal with Howie Roseman. The man is a wizard and somehow finds a way to win every trade. He just robbed the Seahawks, so did he do the same thing to Carolina? 

Torrey Smith is the bigger name in the trade, but that doesn't mean the Panthers are the winners. Smith was great for the Ravens during their Super Bowl run in 2013, catching 65 passes for 1,128 yards. However, Smith hasn't topped 770 yards in a season since, and at 29, time is running out for him to rebound. Smith wasn't very productive this past season, hauling in 36 balls for 430 yards and two touchdowns. He made some clutch plays, but also was responsible for countless drops. Owed $5 million in 2018, Smith had to be let go, as the Eagles are over the salary cap. The fact that Philadelphia got anything for him is definitely a bonus. 

The Eagles won this trade. They dealt an aging, pedestrian player for a young cornerback with promise, all while saving $4 million or so in cap space. Worley, a 2016 third-round pick, had a semi-decent rookie year, but struggled in 2017. However, Worley has a chance to play better in Philadelphia because the Eagles, unlike the Panthers, have a great pass rush, so he won't be exposed as much. Plus, Worley is just 23, so he has plenty of room for growth. 

Grade for Panthers - C+ 
Grade for Eagles - A-

Ted Ginn had 1 catch in 2012... so the idea that Smith won't produce here is asinine

So this guy is basically projecting Worley (who sucked here) will magically get better with the Philly pass rush???  Spoiler, our pass rush wasn't garbage last year.  Key word about Worley listed above:  Semi-decent.  And that's at best when he's not bitching.

I don't know how long some of you have followed football, but a few years ago Howie Roseman was a laughingstock.  And last year Philly was picked by most national publications to be last in the NFC East.

These guys know nothing more than you or I...
