I know there is already a thread about this but I want to know how many are for Smitty returning punts and who thinks him returning punts is stupid!I personnaly think it's a very dumb idea,he is too valuable to the team to get injured by a bunch of backup LBs running kamikazi down the field and trying to prove they can F#ck Steve Smith up!I cringed when they used him 3 or 4 years ago returning punts,also if Smitty gets hurt you can forget the Panthers going to the playoffs-he's that important folks!

Do you really think we are that bad off at PR? We have a ton of options on this roster (Goodson, Moore, and Capt- My Pick) why expose the best WR in the League (as well as our one and only true receiving weapon) to obvious risk of injury. These rumors were started by the FO and Coaches to put in the back of other teams minds. This WILL NOT happen.

I think this poll is more about whether he should, not whether he will.

I the fumbles continue I'm all for it.

And I explained why it shouldn't even be discussed. If fumbles persist you sign the best PR that is available. You don't intentionally expose the teams best player to unneeded injury risk.

      Thielen was a "dawg" like Dan Morgan likes to say. And they replaced him with puppies.  The analytics are probably saying this is more targets for younger receivers they are hoping to develop, specifically the first round pick from 2025. The eye test is going to show a very inexperienced group of WRs that are going to have some serious growing pains, for a 3rd year QB who has not yet proven to be the guy going forward.  It's crazy how in the literal first game of his NFL career, Cam Newton showed everyone he was a star QB and there was never any doubt about that. It almost didn't even matter who was around him, although he definitely had a serious lack of talent at WR for most of his career. Bryce is going into his third season and there is still a ton of doubt, and who is around him is seen as crucial for him to have success. I don't like it.

      Everyone says AT was old and slow but the one thing he could do consistently was get separation. That takes skill and it's been a huge issue in our WR for years. And while Moore may be a great locker room guy and our WR coach may be a 12 year vet, he's not playing in the game. Vets like AT do what they do because they can see things others don't and exploit it. The DB interview I mentioned before was with Stephon Gilmore after his DPOY season. He was pulling the younger DBs aside showing them things you wouldn't even think you'd be able to tell from the way the receiver was standing.  Seeing what a DB or LB is biting on in game that can give you that half step advantage is huge and we don't have that experience in our WR group right now and I think it could end up hurting us. None of our receivers have lined up against NFL corners successfully on a regular basis. Having someone that can walk over and give you a tip to get a half yard separation can be a difference maker.
