Everyone said the same about Ginn too...but he flourished under our offense.  Smith should as well.  He is made for a vertical attacking offense.  Team's won't be able to double Funchess with Smith sprinting down the field. 

double funchess lol

Panther fans: 

on team " man this guy sucks" 

just traded "man that guy was great what are we doing"

Yep, you get it...

And when the national media says we lost the deal, then that just seals it for most fans.

Some of the trades we "lost" last year:  Kony Ealy, Keyvon Seymour for Kaelin Clay, and KB for a draft pick.  Oh wait, except that we didn't actually lose any of those.

The idea that the Eagles GM is now a genius when he was the laughingstock and castrated fool under Chip Kelly a few years back is the funniest part...

Nothing Marty Hurney will do is going to satisfy some fans, but he has made good moves since he's been back in my honest opinion.

good draft for cb's

Weren't we already young enough at that spot though?

Wonder if they considered trading for Darby.

[TheRed]

People saying we could have waited until they released him are conveniently bypassing the reality that we aren't the only team desperate for a speed threat. You want to get to the front of the line or do you want to settle for another Russell Shepard?

Smart move.  Most important reason is it saved comp picks

[Smithers]

Smith actually had a great postseason...catching 13 passes for 157 yards and a TD over 3 games.  Solid effort from a guy playing as the 3rd and 4th option in that offense.

HE WAS GOING TO BE RELEASE, WHY WOULD WE TRADE FOR HIM.

 My guess would be that the staff want happy with Worley, and Worley wasn't  happy with being benched for one. So it gave us a chance to get rid of Worley and get a vet position of need...

No need to double Funch.. Just put the nickel on him and he turns into a gd clam.

This is the only reason it makes sense to me.  That and maybe RR was determined to get a vet receiver in the locker room.

Well, pretty sure we can all forget about the big name WR FAs now. We're going DB in FA.

Yep- you are right.  And objectively speaking DB was/is the bigger need.  Our defense got dragged down big time by an awful secondary last year.  No getting around it.  Coleman looked slow, Worley looked lost (and then bitched about it when he was benched), Adams was inconsistent, and even Bradberry wasn't great.

It's like the fan base knows we need to completely remake the secondary and then complains when our GM works towards that.  We have cap space, but not enough to sign a top-end WR and a top in DB.

Thank you for posting this!

How much 'vet leadership' can a career 3rd or 4th receiver really provide????

At least I get to wear my Smith jersey again!  Win.
