Is it time to break up Panthers, trade Smith?

[stirs]

To Minnesota for a first and third.

we are already the youngest team in the league, trading smitty for a draft pick? What are we going to use it on? A wide receiver?

Not a good idea. Smitty is a competitor and wants to win, wants to be apart of the win.

Get the other players to step up and take the double team off smitty that is what needs to happen. Not trading him

Well after watching Sunday's game...we need help at many positions.

Won't happen. Trade 89 and what little tickets are selling would drop by half next season.

The talent is there we just need to get them to gel.

We have always been a thorn in the side of the AINTS. Lets hope they wipe out the mistakes keep it up.

If the compensation is right, ANYTHING is possible in any franchise. No one is irreplaceable. And if ever the compensation could be ridiculously high, it would be this uncapped season.

BUT, in any reasonable hypothetical.....

Another team would have to literally knock on our door with the right offer in hand. Ther could be no public showcasing about it. It seems extremely unlikely to me that our unpretentious franchise would risk the disruption of shopping Steve Smith. He's already irritated enough at the situation as it is, and we all know what he can do when he hits the breaking point. LOL

It seems more constructive to bring in a complimentary veteran receiver under a one year contract, but that's not what veterans are after under these circumstances.....

The season is not over, and there are no emergencies. You can expect the FO to sound even less urgent than I do.

Bolden did get traded. But Smitty is 31 he has 2 good years left. People always complain when we let players go and dont get anything for them. Well this would be our chance.

Yea after he had success and really has declined IMO. We would not get close to what Smith brings to this team. Its not Madden where we trade away a start then just turn around and draft another. Draft picks are crapshoots.

Somebody needs a message.

[g5jamz]

and as for those saying that NE would trade...NE gave up a prized 4th rounder for Randy Moss.

All teams aren't as stupid as the Raiders.

[Captain Obvious]

Pickles Doesn't look for Smith now. He is laser focused on Goodson or Gettis. Smith should be moved for whatever we can get. It would even be OK to trade him and a RB. Let's stockpile draft picks this year and keep rebuilding with youth. It will hurt now but the future is bright.

So let me get this straight...trade the franchise leader in pretty much every WR category for potentially a 2nd or 3rd round pick which the FO will use on somebody like Armanti Edwards or Dwayne Jarrett??? Hell to the NO.

Nope I said first round picks. If there is a team out there that is jsut a wide receiver away from contending I think they would give us first round picks.

[2plankingpanther]

let's see here,lets just trade away our only WR,real smart!I always thought Sorensen was an idiot,that's the same writer who said that wrassling and the national putput tournament was more important then winning The Stanley Cup,hated the guy ever since!

[2plankingpanther]

to you guys that are getting wet panties over great trade pics for Smitty,2 words to bring you crashing down to a sad reality-Dyane(sp) Jarrett!
