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.

Can Shula go too?

 

lol

[NanceUSMC]

This I can believe

[hepcat]

Not saying their aren't reasons to let Smith go, but this whole fiasco has been botched to the nth degree.

[davos]

Shula is a definite concern. I'm ready for this fiasco to be over with and Smitty in the AFC.

Never understood the hate for Cat Scratch and visa versa. I actually enjoy both these sites.

 

That being said its a good thing they can't cut me from my fandom for critizing Shula or I would have been gone a loooonnnnggg time ago.

And Smitty was right, Gettleman needs to get his head out of his ass. It takes a real idiot to be able to handcuff a guy like Cam, and Shula is doing just that

[jayflip]

Shula is terrible.

[imminent rogaine]

Well, Shula is awful so that would make sense.

[Car123]

Smith was right.

[KissMyConverse]

Oh now I under stand if you type C S R you get an inferior site...

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

So Gettleman believes Smith has lost a step to where he's no longer effective...

Well I believe that if it wasn't for Smith, Gettleman's team would have been blown out on the scoreboard in the NFC Divisional round.
