Smith gone due to being outspoken about Shula

This is from an inferior site.  I'm not one to read that site ever but this is actually new and interesting info.

 

 

take it for what it's worth...

 

 

 

We were told that the Panthers were fearful Smith would become "poisonous" to the locker room due largely to being outspoken about the job performance of offensive coordinator Mike Shula, most specifically that he didn't think his offense was capable of being successful in the NFL.

 

 


We're told these locker room concerns were paired with a very real feeling that Smith had declined beyond the point of being effective. It was Gettleman's belief following film study that the veteran receiver had lost a step, couldn't jump like he did in the past and had concerns about his focus following a career-high season in dropped passes. Whether you agree with that or not is inconsequential, it's how the team felt.

Smith first found out about his status during a private meeting with Gettleman in which we're told the veteran receiver was informed the Panthers believed it would be in the team's best interest to attempt to trade him, or release him outright if a partner wasn't found. This was due to two things: A belief the receiver was declining and a mounting fear that his dominating personality was too much for a young team to withstand, especially while grooming new leaders.

They used some of zods photos without permission or sourcing a few years back. They've been on the poo list ever since.

    • Yeah, I have been around Greenville/Anderson/Clemson on and off over the past 15+ years. They basically care nothing about anything other than Clemson football. Greenville might change as that area has changed. Lots of people moving there that don't have the stink of being college football brainwashed.
    • This person is one of many who cover the Panthers and it seems they are very tight lipped right now.  I wonder if it is based on Legette announcing to the world last year that the Panthers told him they were going to draft him--then we move up to get him---That is kinda embarrassing.   As much as Moton's contract is going to hurt, it is the right play.  I was wondering if he was done (and they have not announced it) or if they might be trying to trade him before it becomes a bigger issue.  I left with the feeling that he is not done and there is no talk of trading him or extending him.  S/he did say that they are going to watch him for a year before making a decision.  If that is the case, I am like you--he is not going to heal at 32 and 330 lbs.  This is his last season in Carolina, based on my interpretation of the conversation.
    • I moved from Charlotte to Greenville about 10 years ago for work.  When I moved here it was like this.  The radio shows were all college and ppl only wore college gear.  I've noticed the last couple years more and more Panthers gear and there are a couple stations that talk Panthers now.  Also to be fair, Charlotte is a Pro city, but there are alot of fans of other teams there
