89 Conference Call

I don't want the whole corp. You are way overthinking this.I could go through all the points about SS but I have posted them multiple times and are easily found. debate that not a strawman about the whole receiving corp.

Your entire debate is based on emotion because you miss a guy because he makes you feel all warm fuzzies about the old days a decade ago when he was one of the best.

He spins a ball and talks and you think he's still got it.

The Panthers are struggling offensively because of the offensive line and running game, not the absence of Steve Smith. But keep telling yourself otherwise. It's a shame though. You might miss the offensive ROY catching passes for the Panthers right now.

I still remember LaFell/Gettis as rookies being asked about how 89 had been helping them......and they politely said he has been busy with lots of things but that Dwayne Jarrett was doing work with them.

That was the older 89. Leaving our first WRs drafted in years to look to Dwayne Jarrett for aid as rookies.....

Don't worry Darrin Gantt can read between the lines and know what Smitty really thinks.

Funny thing about the conference call. Media asked him about bulletin board material and he said "You guys are just going to make something up anyway"

10 minutes later PFT tweets "Steve Smith takes high road but not hard to read between the lines of how he really feels"

I knew immediately who wrote it

Then PFT uses two quotes that if I read between the lines seemed like Smith was telling then they were asking him stupid questions and baiting him and he wasn't having any of it as the "between the lines "quotes".

So the prophet Smith accurately predicted that media would just make stuff up anyway. lol

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
