Smitty

I am just going by what I saw from the stands.  It could've been a miscommunication, but from where I was sitting it looked like he quit on the route.  He slowed up and watched the ball go over his head.  

 

I would like to see a replay of the play to definitely say either way.

 

That's what I saw too. I spent the next five minutes trying to figure out what Cam and Smitty were thinking on that play, especially Smitty appearing to give up on the ball.

He had another not so good game.  Dropped yet another pass in the first quarter, gave up on a route at the end of the first half that resulted in an interception.  The interception was all on him.

 

Apparently didn't want to talk to reporters after the game either:  http://espn.go.com/blog/nflnation/post/_/id/98059/locker-room-buzz-carolina-panthers-7 

 

He's a perfectionist like his QB.

Cam overthrew him quite a few times today.  But there is no doubt about it, the INT was Smith's fault.  Cam expected Smith to continue his route into the back in the endzone, and he threw it PERFECTLY, that ball was either going to be a Smith catch or incompletion.  But Smith stopped, and the DB finished his route for him and caught it with no contention.  If Smith had just continued, he could have easily kept the guy from getting 2 feet in.

Yeah I caught it on NFL.com. It's help you all to reserve your judgement and save time for everyone else by posting whose fault it was. Miscommunications happen and believe it or not, are not an indicator that Cam sucks or Smitty is too old to challenge for the ball anymore.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
