ALL PARAPHRASED

Says WR and QB room will be "interesting" this year. :lol:

Says he has to Humble himself and be a mentor to the young players even the one that will eventually take his job.

Knows a little about young WR's coming in.

Compares Edwards to Randell El.

Clausen being cocky: If you want people to believe in you, you have to believe in yourself. You gotta know and not HOPE for things to happen. Whats wrong with being Cocky ? *paraphrased*

How Matt Moore responds: something something about Having competition, thinks this is first year since he has been here there has been a QB competition and he thinks its a good thing.

Fox LameDuck? and changes?::::: Doesn't see Fox affected

Fox's Last year ?::: has a feeling, but wont say either way.

Yeah thought it sounded like he suspects Fox won't be back.

Surprised that Clausen already called/texted him and isn't intimidated by him. Sounds like there is some serious mutual respect/man love between Smitty and Clausen.

I just don't think Matt is gonna get a fair shot at the job.

wow, this was one of the most laid back, easy going interviews I've ever heard Smitty do. Showing a lot more personality in this one.

Called Charly Martin "White Chocolate"

Smitty and Celina are good buddies. He has been callin into the morning show in Charlotte for years now.

The media is right!!! That's exactly why Jimmy is a horrible leader... and teammate. :rolleyes:

Hmm.... I wonder how a smitty The Golden Calf of Bristol conversation would have gone... LOL

Yeah, Smitty definitely sounds like he loves Clausen's attitude and confidence (or cockiness). He was basically gushing about that part.

But, if Clausen is an ass, I can see how he and Smitty are already bonding so quick lol. Like I said, Smitty is my favorite player but he's had his share of problems too... Doesn't bother me as long as we win and they give it their all when they're out there.

I like that he likes the Gettis kid too...

      Would you trade Ickey

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
