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.

JR created what now? Are you serious?

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.

    • I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball 
    • 100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.
    • I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
