:eek::eek:

if that dude's attitude can be brought under control we need to have him here.

just get him to take his aggression out on the field against the other team instead of his own.

that would be flat out awesome.

He wouldnt be the first Panther with such issues.

Steve Smith has an attitude which has been suspect in the past. Smitty has broken two jaws since being a Panther. So I don't see the point of the argument about attitude. If Shaun Snith gets out of line, the Pantehrs wouldn't hesitate to cut his ass

The Reward, IMO outweighs the risk iin this situation

Can we afford him? We can't get in a bidding war- but we can probably guarantee he'll start. I'd love to have him.
he had a $1mil one year contract with the lions. his off field problems are going to make him cheap.

only thing i could tell is that the lions didn't like smith yelling at the browins GM while smith was wearing a lions uniform recently.

mangini was the idiot that cut him from the browns. he got into it with the DC there. last year he also supposedly punched brady quinn in the face while they were in the weight room but, honestly, who hasn't wanted to punch quinn in the face?

    • Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.
    • What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.
