It doesn't commute because it wasn't about our DT getting hurt.. The point he was making is quoted above.. Not because we lost Kemo...

What i was hinting was that we have lost our starting DT for the season that is a known fact. Both Davis and Beason have injuries that most likely want have them miss a single reg season game. So to me we dont need to waste our time, roster spot, or more seriously our limited cap space on a LB that will almost certainly not make the 53. I'm not to worried about it seeing as it it is still early but we need to start bring in some serious competition at the DT position. It would be a need even if we hadn't lost Kemo now it is a necessity. The longer we wait the less time said players have to learn our system and there teammates.

And its compute not commute.

Then what DT would you bring in? Not many A listers just hanging around.

1st of all, thanks for your stewardship on pointing out my typo.. Everyone here appreciates you helping them figure out what it was that I was saying. :)

2nd, I understand your concern with wanting to fill a Kemo replacement, but the article clearly mentions the CAMP FODDER is here for the LBers injured. So you're concern with roster spaces may be a little unwarranted.

The reason being...it has more to do with having a body there for the players to have someone to practice against... Beason and Davis are sitting out some, so it is important that they bring in someone to fill the void for the time being... It has nothing to do with the seriousness of their injuries...

I point this out because the DT situation is irrelevant to this guy coming in...

This guy will be brought in regardless of us finding a DT... and don't worry about roster spots. We aren't going to waste one on him. It'll be okay. :)

Once we find a guy in FA worth bringing in, I'm sure we will.. I would imagine they are trying to see who they have in the mean time.. But roster spots and cap space doesn't have anything to do with this guy in particular..

      I hope you understand that this Anti Bryce thing as you call it is really a pro Panthers thing. I think I can safely use we. We want the best for the Panthers.  As far as this other post saying ‘Anti’ Bryce people do misinformation.. you mean like going all in on “Renfro should have caught” that poorly thrown ball? I guess it was week 1. And calling it a drop. Comical btw.  I wonder, did you call that out or let it slide because it aligned with your agenda?

      These are great posts with the comparisons and the numbers.   I haven’t lookyat Smity’s numbers since probably the first time he was on the ballot.  But if you watched every week you know what he is. Whatever his yardage or targets numbers were.  He was fuging dominant. I have watched since the AFL days and seen who there is to see. There are many great WRs over the years. GREAT WRs. Smitty is up there in the game of football.

      Smith is clear cut HOF if you judge what he did by reception. Fitzgerald was a stat padder.    The most Steve Smith was ever targeted in his career was in 2005 (150 targets). The same year he wins the triple crown.    Larry Fitzgerald was targeted more than 150 times over 9 separate seasons. Not once eclipsing 1500 yards in a season.    The over glazing of Larry Fitzgerald going around is way over blown. ARZ was top 10 in passing attempts nearly his entire prime. Steve Smith and Andre Johnson had it far worse and would have surpassed his #s in the same situation.
