Steve Smith thought he might be traded.

I would have had mixed feelings personally if he would have been traded. First I would have been pissed because of how Smith has really been our O since 03. But at the same time he is 30 and it does appear he has lost a step and it is only a matter of time before what made him so good for so long (his speed and athleticism) starts to diminish more. So at least we would have traded him while he still had good trade value. But to do this would have spelled disaster to our already anemic offenses. It would have made a already one dimensional O even more one dimensional spelling disaster for this team.

Uhh, in games Moore played in '07...

New Orleans 0 catches 0 yards 0 TD (only 2 attempts though)

Tennessee 3 catches 15 yards 0 TD

Atlanta 5 catches 61 yards 0 TD

New Orleans 3 catches 30 yards 0 TD

Seattle 8 catches 72 yards 0 TD

Dallas 9 catches 137 yards 1 TD

Tampa Bay 5 catches 48 yards 0TD

Dallas and Seattle were the best showings, but otherwise just awful.

On average it's about the same stats as what smith's getting now. With a worse coordinator. Without the dink n' dunk stat-padding kid gloves. With an awful quarterback who can't get him the ball. ;)

:confused:

Matt moore's first start was against Seattle. he won NFL Rookie of the Month for December.

    • There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season? 
    • Whatever they are in totality the cowboys are beat up all to hell on both sides of the ball and even that was too much for lil Bryce to overcome.  Bryce defenders have to hype up every other team and trash every other part of the panthers just because of the situation they’ve put themselves in. 
    • JB had a first round grade in the eyes of a lot scouts based on HIS TALENT LEVEL. If not for the injury he would have gone higher in the draft, possibly between the middle and the end of round 1. To get him just before the 50th pick is a steal. He'd be on a 4 year deal. You can't even renegotiate until the end of the season 3. You're basically paying him nothing for 3 seasons. I don't buy into all back are interchangeable. No they're not. You have average backs, good backs, then your great-exceptional backs. The latter category doesn't grow on trees. If a back is special it pays to keep them. The key is knowing the difference between the first two categories and the third one.
