Smitty to pats?

NFL Network's Michael Lombardi envisions the Panthers finally dealing Steve Smith this offseason, pending a CBA agreement.

Lombari suggests Smith to the Patriots for a second-round pick as a good fit for both sides. The contending Pats need an outside/downfield threat at receiver while the rebuilding Panthers should be getting their hands on as many draft picks as possible. It just so happens that New England holds Carolina's second-rounder after the Panthers' ill-advised trade for Armanti Edwards last year. It's a deal that makes sense, at least on paper.

I think this would be a great deal

Our pressing needs are DT, Guard and Qb. We should be able to get an alright DT and Guard through FA. I know the common belief is that a team that finishes 2-14 must need massive upgrades at every position, so they should trade any player they have that has any kind of value in an attempt to get more draft picks, but I don't think that's the case with us.

Only trade Smith if he truly is unhappy and wants out. If not, keep him, he probably still has another two good years left. Just need our qb to learn how to hit a wr that's a little bit smaller than the other Wrs on the team. Clausen looked too scared to even attempt throwing the ball to Smith most of the time.

Smitty's my favorite player and I'd hate to see him go, but with the bad press were getting now and going to get in the future, a 2nd rounder is looking pretty good right now. We're going to need all the draft picks we can get, considering it will probably be hard for us to attract free agents. We're going to really have to build through the draft. This is all moot anyways, because I doubt we could get a 2nd for Smitty.

I love Smitty but if this happened it wouldn't be a bad thing. We would have the #1 pick and the 33rd pick that everyone has been bitching about. At this point I think Steve deserves a chance to win a championship and he doesn't have too many years left. If he has a horrible year people are gonna be complaining that we didn't take the pats up on their offer. In retrospect I would've much rather taken the 2nd round pick the pats offered for Peppers instead of paying him $1 million per game.

    • What are the matchups, stats and superlatives?   I think this will be a hard game. Bucs are a very balanced team on offense:  7th  in total yards per game, 7th in passing, 10th in rushing. Baker is having another career year even better than last year but despite missing his Godwin and Evans. Bucs defense is poor (29th) particularly passing defense, but we’re also depleted in our receiving with Coker and Sanders likely out. Running Chuba is key but their defense is better against the run. (16th) I think this is likely going to require us to score a lot of points to keep up and hopefully the home field advantage tips the scale in our favor. My other concern is our run defense and being able to stop their rookie study Bucky Irving who the Bucs have shifted more carries to recently and he’s averaging 5.4 ypc and knows how to get into the endzone with 5 TDs so far.         
    • This is nonsense and you know it. People will be happy when we are consistently and convincingly winning games against good teams. There are people in here talking down to others after losses and barely beating the terrible NY Giants. If you want to strut around here like only you are a real Panthers fan and rage pooing posts because your jimmies are rustled then hey good luck with all that. I hope you have a lovely Thanksgiving.
    • Who had the massive meltdown last year? Hope they feel better this year.
