NEWFOUND MOTIVATION: Although the Panthers showed him plenty of respect by giving him such a huge contract, Johnson still has found a source of motivation from some of his critics this week.

Johnson said he’s heard some in the media suggest his huge season as a first-year starter (11.5 sacks) is more an anomaly than a sign of things to come.

When asked if he expects opposing teams to focus on him more this year after the numbers he put up last year, Johnson said fired away sarcastically. “I don’t know, man, people say I’m a one-hit wonder so I don’t think they are going to be looking at me like that. I’m going to earn my money.”

Yep, he’s still got a chip on his shoulder, and plans to use those comments as motivation this season.

This was the 2nd most encouraging thing to me...

GLAD TO SEE SMITH BACK: David Gettis said he was thrilled when he found out through his mother that fellow WR Steve Smith was returning to the team.

“I love it. That’s my big brother,” Gettis said. “I wanted to be quiet throughout the offseason on that, but for him to be here is great for us, and it’s great for him. We love having him around the meeting rooms and I really look up to him.”

Smith said he’s seen the offensive playbook and loves it. In particular he said there are “seven to 10 plays” he can’t wait to run in practice.

    • I always get lectured every year when we inevitably win some meaningless late season games to tank our draft position that we're building culture and you always have to try to win no matter what. This is why that's bullshit. Once you're out of contention it's to your competitive advantage to LOSE. 
    • You’re tripping I hear what you’re saying but you’re not thinking of the benefits that trade gives us. We can then move around in the second round or late in the first to grab a specific player we covet like M Starks late in the 1st. Let me clarify if we’re at 21 we grab W Nolen or K Grant then trade up late in the 1 or early in the second giving up next years second for M Starks or T Amos there so much that can happen with that additional ammo.  Allowing us still so much leverage in next years draft as well with two first rounders we’d be dam crazy not to take a trade like that it’s not the big haul or heavy amount of picks we’re hoping for but it’s gets us multiple players especially ones we’ve seemed to taken a liking to like Nolen etc along with the safety from SC. or even a Luther B or James P early in the second. This nice influx in talent would help way more than a player like Jalon W. because of his high bust rate or probability  to bust….you know what I mean.  We need players we all know that those extra picks allow us to give up something this year to add key pieces from the 29-40 range that we may really like and have a need for (T Amos) and it not hurt as much because we’re stacked in round one of 26. Which could also be a pick one trade one scenario next year giving us more ammo to manipulate the draft to a winning situation for us long term. Al that to say we desperately need to be actively seeking a trade because we could add real talent in multiple spots this year and next with that current trade your opposing.
    • According to their list, the top guy hasn't put out a mock yet and the 2nd guy has us trading to 4 for Carter.
