YES!!! LaFell has dropped too many passes and has been inconsistant, same with Gettis, both are as inconsistant as Clausen is. Steve Smith is double covered. NOW, if Luck goes to the draft, than you have to draft him, but if he stays, i think AJ Green is worth the look because i dont think any other quarterback is worth taking number one overall.

i guess you missed the memo about steve smith dropping more passes...

...than every reciever in the nfc south?

fix the oline. fix the qb.

drafting green alone won't fix the passing game.

I think now is the time to trade Smith but just like I said earlier in the season, Smith will not ask to be traded nor will the team trade him. He has a personal connection with JR that goes beyond the field. He is, was and will be the face of the franchise. And that is what worries me. No matter what QB we bring in, Clausen, Moore, or Andrew Luck, Smith is going to run over them. I really wonder if Jake's relationship with Smith is the reason he stay here and on the field as long as he did.

didnt say it would, but i think a reciever like Green would make the QB better. the offensive line is missing a right guard and we can put Luck back there, but i dont expect them to win more than 4 games. Luck has great wrote all over him, but if everything happens like i think it will. Luck will go in throwing to Smith, Gettis and LaFell, the panthers use a 3rd round pick on a guard, they avoid free agents that they can sign and Luck wins about 4 games, i like Luck, but he's going to need help and Richardson hasnt that he will open up his wallett to free agents. Add to that, they BETTER re-sign Khalil before free agency because i think Washington will chase after him.

We can trade Steve Smith, but that still wont help us in the passing game because (if the panthers management does what the fans wants) then i see Luck struggling to make plays because Gettis and LaFell are not number one recievers and (in my view) they havent proven to be number 2 recievers either, so trading Smith would hurt Luck if they draft him, even though i do agree that Smith would run over him if he struggles as would some of the fans.
