Steve Smith Will Not Be In a Panthers Uniform Next Season

[Delhomeboy]

It was actually a very successful ball control offense. We were ranked 5th.

 

Not sure where you're getting this from. I don't see a single offensive statistic where we were above #11 (in receiving, ironically).

The 2012 Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens seem to have done fine without one.

 

Did they?  They had two WRs that had over 800 yards and 3 that had as many or more TDs than Steve Smith.

 

Their #2 receiver:  855 yards and 8 TDs. 

 

Yep, their #2 >> than our #1.

Stop it. Don't educate them. It's too much for them.

 

See my previous post, and thanks for my education

2.5*heart rating/revenge on former team - swag^leadership = Exorbitant cap hit.  It's the anti-moneyball math, really.

Another overpaid hurney era player in front of a keyboard. Idc.

We should tell him our thoughts....that his is massively overpaid and not worth a fraction of what he is getting from the team.

You are missing the point. If that's his role, you can get a much you get guy to fulfill that role for a much, much cheaper price. I love Smitty, but you can't keep him at that price just because he has a 99 HEART rating on Madden.

Read the cap hit by releasing him in 2014. It makes no sense.

Furthermore, those 750 yards are not replaceable. It's not that easy. You don't just say, hey this guy caught 750 for this much money...plug him in....Smith drew all the coverage and still made critical plays that not just any 750 yard guy will make. I wish it was as easy as Madden, but it's not. His 99% is about the only accurate thing going....he is that damn good!

Well that is ball control

800 yard season is 800 yard season....educate yourself moron.

[frash.exe]

wrong

SS produced

In the collective sense, the guys we were indulging with big contracts didn't produce wins.

[MechaZain]

Honestly if smith played the rest of his contract out on the stationary bike I still think it's better for the franchise and the fans to keep him.

800 yard season is 800 yard season....educate yourself moron.

 

And 740 yard WR's are a dime a dozen....take a remedial course will ya.

Steve Smith did not get a 800 yard season.  The Ravens #2 receiver in 2012 was better than our #1 receiver.

Plug one into our offense and see how they do......you guys play way too much Madden....get a clue....baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
