Now Torrey Smith is officially a steal

[CarolinaNCSU]

Every single year, for whatever reason, people are shocked at people getting overpaid.

Next year, the Panthers will need _______. Half the board will tell the other half "you're not signing him for less than ______.  They will scream and bitch and moan, and then days later see the light like so many have the last couple of days on Sammy Watkins and the like.

Sammy watkins is the new hakeem nicks.

Man, I was certainly in that group that was like "$5 million is a LOT for Torrey Smith."  Then you see the insane money guys are getting now...

Maybe we should actually give the Hurndog a full off season before we completely over analyze everything he does....

*Nah, this is the Huddle, who am I kidding???

No poo....  the salaries are insane. Even my turd can go fo $1 million a year right now.

just don't post it signing the contract.

Lol...comparing Smith's salary to FA wr's is simplistic and moronic.  His value is based on his future production at his current cost.  It has nothing to do with what other wr's are getting in FA.  He wasn't even a FA to begin with so the cost comparison is invalid. 

But continue on lawding Hurneys genious and your intelligent circle jerk.

There are people who hate Hurney for always giving out huge contracts and fuging this teams future. Those same people are bitching about the Smith trade and Breeland signing and crying that we didn't resign Star and Norwell. If we would just cut Ryan Kalil we could have also signed ARob or Watkins herp derp. 

So Hurney sucks for giving our own guys huge contracts in the past and he's also the worst the second go round for not doing the same thing? WTF do you guys want? Do you even know?

The posters on this board are becoming unbearable. At least it isn't as bad as the Panthers subreddit.

meh nothing is different this year,  you gotta roll with it.

pretty sure no one was disputing it

A lot of national pundits panned this move when it happened saying we gave up a starting corner on a rookie contract for an overpaid WR. Quite a few said that Hurney should have waited bc Smith was going to be released and could have been had for cheaper. So...yea there were people doubting the trade.

I see the mokeys are out throwing poo this morning.

Hell even the OP was sh#$#$ on this 3 days ago. 

 

It's just that looking at the $$$$ all the FA WR's have gotten has sobered everyone the fug up. 

 

The debate was more whether Torrey Smith was enough. His contract's fine on it own merit, but that's 5 million less to spend.

I think what is being compared is the fact people were distraught we traded for Smith instead of waiting for him to be cut and sign him.

 

if our goal was to get Smith, then Hurney did it the correct way while being salary cap conscience

*shudder*  dont remind us of the huddle back then....

Fact: Smith was cheaper to trade for than to sign in FA after being cut.

Fact: Smith's salary is small compared to what the FA are getting.

Fact: Paying Smith $5 mil to be bad next year is a waste of resources that could've been applied to positions of higher need.

Fact: Smith offers virtually no upside, even at $5mil.
