Panthers sign former Bills WR


Recommended Posts

I hope for his sake Shi Smith is just renting something. 

Team is obviously looking for an upgrade at punt returner, and Byrd & Stevenson have proven more at least thus far.

I also don't see how Shi gets much playing time as a receiver in a group with Chark, Theilen, TMJ, Mingo, & Shenault (or Byrd for that matter)

I think of all the players who had a significant role last season, Shi is the most likely to not be on this year's team.

Yep.  Special Teams was a surprisingly a major strength for the Panthers last year.

Hekker was a punt god, Eddy was incredible except for Atlanta, JJ Jansen is going to play forever, and Blackshear was low-key a good kick returner.  And ST coverage was solid for the most part.

The glaring weakness was at punt returner.  It seemed like we had Andre Roberts designated for that role, but then he got hurt and we tried to make Shi the guy but he simply underperformed, both as a PR and as a WR.

This is one of the best things about a new coaching regime IMO.  No more Temple/Baylor nonsense nepotism, no more stupid signs, no more stupid college cliches.

This year is about cutthroat competition and rewarding us long-suffering fans with a freaking playoff berth!

Man his chances are beyond slim.

    • We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.
    • I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning. 
    • He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
