Everyone should be thanking Smitty.

I would be willing to bet the Farm that Smith called Reid up and said dude you need to be on this team. I'm sure you have other offers but if you want to feel at home come to Carolina. For someone who feels judged and persecuted that means all the world. To have someone who believes what you believe and to give his approval it means something no matter what the struggle is. Also for all the bad JR was in the end he created that exact atmosphere of home and family.

Nah, I won't say it's just smitty.  From the reports I saw, he had a multi year deal from San Fran or a 1 year deal with us that came after the Searcy Injury.  I think he thought about his career, a multi year contract in SF as a backup can/is a death nail with how young and crappy the rest of their defense is as a whole, so basically turns into his last contract.  With us, he gets a "prove it" test behind one of the best front 7s in the NFL, a Decent #1 corner and an up and coming #2.  It's a no brainer, he can juice his stats up like crazy and get a fat contract after this season from someone, something that is impossible riding the bench on a shitty defense in SF.

    • Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair. 
    • it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
    • Sounds like a plan. Those are the teams we should be mimicking! lol
