Panthers trade Worley for Torrey Smith

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

This team is a joke

[Cpt slay a ho]

I like Worley, though he performed better than Bradberry last year, trade isn’t bad IF we either address cb in fa and still draft a WR in the first 3 rounds. Torrey Smith has to perform as well or this trade is ass, I think he will

Worley wasn't consistent for Rivera. Would have probably been cut if not traded.  Works out well for us. 

For a WVU note Eagles now have 4 to mountaineers on their team. 

If he turns around and looks good for the Eagles though, that doesn't exactly speak well of our coaching.

We'll see.

the going rate for what? garbage? 

Bring some facts.  "I hate..he's trash." Not contributing much.  Hard to dispute someone's baseless metaphors.  Here are some pointers:

• Nobody really cares what you hate or don't hate.  That is not how we determine player values.
• Trash/Garbage are not measureable terms and, frankly, they do not specify any reason you do not like the player. 

It suggests your only purpose is to argue without points.  Hope this helps

He did at times.  I will add this to help you out--it helps me grasp it. Bradberry was usually on the opposition's #1 WR.  Adding a top CB drops Bradberry to the #2 WR--where I expect he will be better.

I am not sure that we will draft a WR--Funchess basically replaced KB and Smith will replace Funchess.  Samuel was hurt and learning last year--he will be a WR.  Byrd was hurt a lot--he will be #4.  I do not think an early WR draft pick is better than Smith or Samuel...

Normally, I would take a WR as you say, but we have needs at so many other positions.  I think it is more likely that Clay, Duke, Ross emerges from the PS to take the fifth spot---or Sheperd moves to #4 or 5 and Special teams---not worth the contract though. 

Not sure I am right, but we will see.

I am impressed tbh. So Hurndog has made a little progress but still cautious.

So we're cutting Torrey?

Great trade. T.Smith brings a HELL of a lot more than whatever was lined up on Sundays.

Evaluating Torrey Smith's fit on our roster in a vacuum, he's a veteran deep threat that defense's will have to respect from day 1. That's exactly what we were missing for most of last year. He's immediately the second best receiver on our roster and will really challenge Samuel/Byrd to step up their games. Not much to hate, especially if we're cutting Shepard. 

The problem is giving up Worley, who was a valuable part of our defense last year. PFF aside, there was a tangible drop in performance when he was out of the game. This is a strong free agent pool in the secondary, so I we should be able to sign a reliable starter opposite Bradberry, but this trade has the potential to look bad if Worley breaks out and Smith fizzles out.

That's where my biggest question lies. I thought we were trying to get younger.

And yes, he was set to get released. Guess we just helped the Eagles (Johnny Rockets should chime in).

It was expected that we might go after a veteran receiver, but 29 is a little more veteran that I might have expected.

I do like Torrey Smith though. I guess he is in a Cotchery mode, though faster.

Why not trade Worley for Darby though?

I'm honestly surprised we found anyone willing to trade anything of significance for Worley. He struggled last year to the point of losing playing time to a guy we brought in mid-season. If the headline was "Worley traded for a 7th round pick" that wouldn't have shocked or upset me, instead we got a player who helps fill a need and worse case can be cut w/ no cap hit if things don't work out for a guy who had no guarantee of making our final roster this year.

Now to get Smitty back.
