Normally i listen just to get a laugh at the callers, and alot of times its your right as long as you agree with the host. Couldnt even listnen when Frank Garcia used to be on there.

Anyways, Packer said he thought the Panthers should shop Steve Smith in the off season to try to get back in the first round of the draft next year. He said there's definitely teams who would jump on it and might would even give up a first rounder plus players. Also said get rid of Jarrett, and thought as good as Moose has been its time to look at other options there too.

I'd hate to see Steve go, but its also tough seeing him this down. He just looks like he is not pumped like he has been in years past, and rightfully so i guess judging by the season thus far. So my question is based on where the team stands right now, what do you guys think about shopping him while we still can get something for him?

So we should just ditch our entire recieving core? Who in the hell is our "new QB" that we are supposed to get with the 1st we get for SS going to throw the ball to? If we did that we would have a greater need at WR than QB so it would only compound the problem.

If we get rid of Smith, Moose, and Jarrett who will we throw to? K.Moore and Goodson? I think Jarrett needs to stay, IMO he would be a Keyshawn clone if our braindead Coaching staff would call slants and take passes mid-field. Oh and we need an NFL quarterback too. Like it or not, and I really dont but I think Smith is traded after this season.

If this team were the Patriots then yes, Smitty would be traded, but considering who we are, no, there is not a chance that something like that goes down.

I dont think the Patriots would trade smith if they had him..like Belichick said its certain players you dont trade that you build your team around.

    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
    • Not a chance the SEC could compete with the NFL.  In the large cities that are not in the Southeast, (LA, NYC, Chicago, SF) College football is an afterthought.
