Teams Calling About Smitty

[rickyisclutch]

So we get rid of him and look for a number 1 AND number 2 receiver in the draft. Right.

Why would we be looking for a #2 WR? Think that spots already locked down.

[CBDellinger]

What would we get? A 3rd? How many of those work out?

To be fair, Steve Smith himself was a 3rd round pick!

JUST SAYIN!!!

I love how the Huddle makes up its own reality and decides that it is the reality.

Smitty may actually be perfectly happy, but here "He is already leaving this offseason" is a fact.

You need to lose your loyalty to players who could care less where they play.

Panthers > "player"

Not in this case, being a special case in Smitty. What's Cam supposed to think if a year after being what 3rd in the League(1400 yards) in receiving yardage we blow out 89? :ass:

Several of you are caught up into the old narrative of status-quo, 8-8 being ok, and overpaying our guys and aging players.

Moving players off a sinking ship to free up space and add young talent or draft picks would be a prudent thing to do.

You are afraid, its ok, change is in the air...again...

Smitty isn't overpaid, DWill and Stewart on the other hand.........

Agreed. We need to go young and cleanse the losing attitude

imho you have to look at how New England, the NY Giants and Pittsburgh does it. They dont go young, they dont purge, they make wise, carefully calculted moves and continue to win year to year.

Only thing that needs cleansing most likely is JR's colon.

How many 2nd round picks have we gone through trying to find a wideout who can even sniff Smitty's jock?

[MHS831]

Personally, I think Smith has another 2-4 years in him as a slot WR--he could create some problems inside if we had a good #1 WR. We have needed a true #1 for a while.

#1 WR (free agent off season signing), Louis Murphy

slot: Steve Smith, Joe Adams

#2 WR Brandon Lafell, David Gettis

I would trade Smitty for a day two pick, however--let Adams and Pilares run the slot, Lafell and Murphy outside. I would trade Smitty for a good free safety or solid DT.

Loyalty to players beyond their peak playing days gets a GM fired. The best teams (New england, Pittsburgh) are champs because they do not get screwed by holding players too long. (See Hines Ward)

So does that make Byron Bell worthless then?

[rodeo]

....I would fire sale the fug out of this roster right now for as many middle round...

Oh yeah for sure the thing the Panthers need is to fill the roster completely with Nate Salley, Nick Hayden, and Kealoha Pilares.

The home field advantage in BofA is weak enough, imagine if we blow out the few quality Vet players we have in favor of a roster you need a program to identify.

May as well call it a Neutral site for football games.

[PantherFanOne]

Heard Pickles is getting inquiries too

Yeah!!!!! Some teams are inquiring why he is still on the Panthers team roster.......Other teams are inquiring why he is still in the NFL.

[CBDellinger]

My point stands.

[davos]

Keep Smitty, keep LaFell, draft a top WR, and get a WR in the FA...we got Olsen, draft another TE, get some O-line f*cks, get an OC with a new regime not completely mental and let's f(ck sh*t up for frick's sake. And frick has a lot at stake

The D looks fine for the time being considering where we are as a franchise minus a FS, CB, and another D-line guy.

No need in blowing up, there's no need to get rid of Smitty unless there's something we don't know. He's not worth the loss or an added 5th round draft pick for that matter. D-Will's situation is tricky and he may need to go but no sense in blowing sh*t all the way up. Just with this damn staff and a few softies on the squad.
