After three: A lead for the home team

Hold onto your hats.

The Carolina Panthers have a lead, and they have David Carr in for the other side.

The Panthers eclipsed their season scoring average (10.4) with John Kasay's 55-yard field goal early in the third. That gave them a 13-10 edge, their first lead at home all year.

They also knocked 49ers QB Alex Smith out of the game, putting Carr in charge. He was wearing no gloves, but otherwise looked like the guy who went 1-3 here as the starter in 2007.

Smith suffered a shoulder sprain when sacked by Panthers DE Charles Johnson.

Panthers WR Steve Smith left with leg cramps, and then cramped their style when he came back. He killed a chance to add to the lead with a personal foul and a fumble.

The 49ers are about to line up for a field goal on the first play of the fourth quarter.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      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.

      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.
