I haven’t seen anything in Wallace that says more than depth. I would say that is who he is, and encourage him to be the best depth he can be. He is slow to the ball. Around the piles not at the bottom of them. I watched him closely for a few games and he was the guy that stands over the pile. Only shot he has is late blooming. I would not really want to gamble on that happening. I have been wrong before could be wrong here.

Let's see. Who is the better person and has the best character? Hmmmm which one could it be.....

I was thinking 6th

UDFA

If they are thinking of going all in to win it all next year then yes, something really stupid is incoming.

I am down, but what round?

Should we go grab Arron Jones 1 year

Steve Smith is a straight up prick of a man. When you have an issue with literally everyone under the sun - the common denominator is you.

we are going to fug ourselves with the cap for years arent we? I feel it coming

The bad news is that we have too many needs to address then all in the first three picks. The good news is that we shouldn't feel compelled to reach. There will be prospects at or near the top of our board that also fill a need throughout the draft.

Frankly I dont see it with Chubb. Dudes hurt all the time and hes on the old side.

Plenty of country boys would be fine with Charlotte. Just have to show the team and franchise arent dysfunctional AND are not a place to just come cash a check.

He's been a jerk his whole life.

We need to find 3 starters in this draft--a tall task. Maybe not immediately, but sometime during the season to take over long term. I will blindly enter my draft right now with No trades. Not the way I planned it before seeing the board, but I like it.

If his approach to Mays and Nijman specifically means we will be using those resources to go hard on the defense then I am for it. But we cannot revert back to treating Center as an afterthought again otherwise he is going to find out the hard way the same as Fitterer did and Dan was here by his side to see that unfold firsthand.

I love the players selected, but we need an OL in the first 3 picks.

I really hope Morgan & Tillis find a way to double dip with some heavy hitters on D. Lloyd/Mafe is ideal for me, though it would take some serious cap movement. I’d also be stoked for any combo of: Lloyd or Dean @ LB Mafe, Chubb, Hendrickson, Oweh, Phillips (can also kick inside in sub packages) I do wonder if Lloyd is the splash and they don’t want to break the bank on EDGE, if they’re content seeing a healthy Pat + Scourton/Princely in year 2 with a true QB of the defense in Lloyd. I know folks are down on Wallace but could Lloyd allow Wallace to be more of who he is rather than who we want him to be? He’s a Robin that needs a Batman…..not a main character. I also have concerns with Chenal and Quay at LB. I think Chenal gives me Turk 2.0 vibes but at LB. Quay’s blindspot is coverage and that is what we need help with at LB.

Not bad reasoning. Such a long wander until the draft. We are in the desert right now.

I'm sure we all have a few bones to pick with people in our past but that does nothing on most cases moving forward. This podcast era is the gift n the curse. Everyone has to have the hot take but often times, it hurts your image. Steve is beloved by the heart n gut he showed on the field but he definitely needs to just find peace somehow. He's too grown to be out here flaming folk from years ago.

That's strange because if that's all there is then this is very old recycled news. Steve already made this claim public years ago and it has been talked about here before. Ron to my knowledge has never publicly responded so I have no idea if it's true or not. But really it doesn't matter. I mean ultimately if Ron did do that I couldn't say I blame him. Steve Smith has a reputation as a very volatile immature and spiteful person on top of a history of violence. He could have used these years since to reflect and progress as a person but it seems he has no interest in that. It's best for all involved to just not engage with him.

If they are going to trade up let it be in the 2nd round for Hill. But I don't like that idea either. What I would selfishly like to see happen is they take the Oregon safety in the 1st over the 3rd or 4th best ILB or OLB. Then see how round 2 shakes out. Take the linebacker with the 70's mustache in the 3rd and go from there. Production is the word you are looking for.

He was saying Ron hid when he was cut/traded whatever that was. I get being resentful, and feeling like that was gutless. He, and Ron, neither are from the ‘breaking up with someone in a text or email is okay’ generation. That avoidance is seen as a lack of character. Talking about it on camera how many years later? Why? And it is all one sided he said she said stuff. As he is speaking I am thinking well I bet that ain’t the whole story. Between this type of stuff and him cheating on the wife stuff some of his shine is wearing off.

I was very critical of Ron Rivera as a coach for a range of reasons. But Steve Smith has been playing the victim for years now and it's just not working anymore. We know for a fact that he was disgruntled from the moment we drafted Cam Newton because of his own ego. That says more about him than anything he could say about Rivera. And yes Ron Rivera had a lot of faults. No excuses for it. We were right to move on from him. But ultimately Steve Smith couldn't hold it together with that group the same as he struggled to hold it together under previous regimes. He needs to grow up and accept his own role in the last few years of his Panthers career because there are things he could and should have done differently the same as anyone else. Stop seeking to only shift blame to everyone else and evolve or just stop talking and fade away. This isn't helping anyone and it is certainly not helping his image.
