Steve Smith Will Not Be In a Panthers Uniform Next Season

Damn, you are still as ignorant as ever.

 

Steve did NOT talk less money 2 years ago.  He signed a contract that had huge up front guaranteed payments that could be spread out over the cap.  That contract had hudge back end cap numbers that no one....including Smith himself would have legitumately thought would be paid.  He did NOT take one for the team.

 

Restructuring now (outside of an outright paycut) woudl do nothing more than make the cap hit for the next two seasons even bigger than they are.

 

So, will you be switching team allegiances and joining another team's MB?  We can only hope.

He did take less base salary money and helped the team sign other players...he signed a loyalty contract that paid him more guaranteed money in the end of his contract, but as the article reads...EVERYONE knew he would never reach the end of the contract...so....YES...SS took less money knowing he would never see 2017....go lead your herd of sheep....idiot!

Most agents are lawyers. Lawyers/Agents are paid handsomely to lie. It's their most practiced skill set and it's their primary task. 

 

I don't believe a thing that comes out of an agent's mouth, especially around free agency or draft time.

 

But, it's time to move on from Smitty. His value does not equal $7 million a year in 2014.

 

ETA: And Smitty's my all time favorite Panther, by a long shot!

Handled very poorly.  This is a shame.  Gettleman did/does some great things but this is almost embarrassing.  

 

Of course if we're winning next season all of this will be quickly forgotten about and we'll all think he's a genius in the end.  If we suck next year the pressure will increase on Gettleman for completely blowing this and making a horrible decision.  

Sadly, Gman won't get the blame.  RR will be the scapegoat which is 100% bull$hit.

He took huge up front and guaranteed payments....he converted future base to a bonus.  That is not taking one for the team.  That is actually a big benefit for the player.

 

Go play in rush hour trafic....fuging moron.

If we suck next season, it is not going to be because we lost a 35 year old receiver who struggled to muster 740 receiving yards at 11.6 YPC and 4 TDs.

That is replaceable production.  Even an injured Hakeem Nicks can replace that production considering he pretty much has the past 2 seasons.  Ginn, had he taken more snaps this season, probably would have replaced it, if not outright surpassed it.

The only people who will come back to this decision if we are bad next year are the people under some illusion that Steve Smith is still a top flight receiver.  He has inconsistent hands and inconsistent production.  He's really not that good anymore.  This isn't me hating on him or anything.  I love Smith to death and it sucks we are losing him.  But it is the right move for the future of this franchise.

      Serious Thoughts Fellas What numbers would Bryce..

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.

      Mustard BBQ sauce only. Bessingers or Melvin's BBQ sauce.  However Bessingers is the best in the world, Melvin is 2nd.    I found this article    In fact, the New York Times Magazine described the sauce as “terrifically balancing the tangs of mustard and vinegar with a wood fire's charry flavor.” While helping his dad, Joseph “Big Joe” Bessinger, as a teenager in the kitchen of the family's first restaurants, Thomas learned the secret recipe for the gold sauce – ... https://www.bessingersbbq.com › t...
