Smith wants out, prefers Chargers or Ravens

lol wtf

ESPN AFC West blogger Bill Williamson suggests the Broncos could be a "legitimate possibility" to trade for Panthers WR Steve Smith.

A Smith trade is now beginning to look probable rather than just possible. New coach John Fox had Smith in Carolina for 10 years, and the two had a "good relationship." Kyle Orton and The Golden Calf of Bristol would be an upgrade on Jimmy Clausen and Cam Newton, but a trade to Denver wouldn't solve Smith's wish of joining a contender. The Broncos also have far greater needs than wide receiver. Apr. 26 - 9:11 pm et

dock.....I feel for you man

:(

It sucks but what can you do?

He will always be my favorite player (not sure how that started). But Carolina is my team and always will be. I'll watch and pull for Smitty, but at the end of the day, I'd rather he be here.

I'm sitting here asking myself "why the Ravens?"

You're not the only one :confused:

From their perspective, you could argue there's a bigger need for him than in San Diego.

Plus a defense that will stop the opposing offense and give him more chances for TDS.....

Houshmandzadeh finished the year with fewer catches than LaFell or Gettis, if I remember correctly.

I don't know why everyone is questioning the Ravens... haven't Harbaugh and Flacco gotten them into the playoffs the past three seasons?

Housh is a FA. Smitty would be the only speed/deep threat guy.

And to whoever mentioned the Roy Williams thing... Jerry Jones is a fuging idiot. That was the worst, most lopsided trade in awhile. Don't think we can spin a deal like that...

I hope he finds success wherever he goes. It's tough, but I can understand why he wants to be traded. He wants another run at a Super Bowl, and he doesn't have much time left. Waiting around for a team to rebuild isn't an option.

I'd much rather he stay... he's right up there on my personal favorites as a player. At the same time, he can be a disruptive force in the locker room. I do not see Rivera putting up with any of Smitty's tirades, and in the end it might end up being for the best if he is gone. He had no interest in helping along the young WRs from what I had read (and assumed from his actions during the season). Smitty probably wants to be on a veteran team. Baltimore is just that, and I think he'd be a great fit there personally. As Baltimore is the other team that I root for, I suppose keeping him within the circle works for me :P

Still... sad face :(

      I don't know about you but I have been a life long Chiefs fan for the past 4 years.

      If "fans" would have came out today we would have made up those 3-points in home field advantage.

      Sure there's a ton of transplants in Colorado now. But as far as Denver in particular goes the Broncos have also been around for 65 years. Someone moving to Denver is going to be far more likely to become a fan of the Broncos and even attend games versus someone moving to Charlotte and the Panthers. Like I said it's not just one single thing with us it's multiple factors.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      He's definitely getting better. It's fun to watch.  I've been getting killed for this take, but with the current state of college football, it just takes more time to develop a quarterback. I don't think it's a plug and play position anymore. I'm really not sure if it ever was. NFL offenses have always been substantially more complex than the college game, and the college game has simplified even more in recent years. Many college teams do not have a physical playbook anymore. That's just not the national football league.  Are there freaks who have success from day 1? Yes, without question. But so many of those guys are runners, and so many of those guys tail off. Is Bryce ever going to be Josh Allen? Probably not.  What I am seeing is a guy with complete command of the offense. He's checking into things at the line, making adjustments, and making timely throws.  He goes to David Moore a ton, because Moore is a consistent route runner. Bryce knows where he is and when he should be open. I think the guy with the "super processor" needs to be comfortable in the offense in order to do the "super processing." He doesn't have elite arm talent, and he is small of stature, but if he makes the smart play consistently, and he's willing to throw the ball downfield and not make mistakes, like he's starting to show, he's going to be a starter for a long time in this league, and it's not a position I'd spend draft capital right now.
