Will never happen. TD, Cam, Kuechly you can take bets on

I understand your point of view, but it's hard to ignore what he's meant to this franchise for so long and how he absolutely encapsulated Keep Pounding. 

I have nothing but love for 89 and I wish our fans weren't so quick to dismiss his career as a Panther. 

Time will tell, in the meantime, have some pie!

That is obviously a front...  he didnt ask to be a raven and his ego was hurt.

Regardless, if it was up to me, when we win this championship, i would give Smitty a ring.  He held the fort down for years with little to no help, and he was THE PANTHER until Cam and Luke, and obviously TD's role grew over the last 5 years or so, but my point remains.

He's still up there as one of the greatest for me. I can't just erase 10+ years of great Smitty memories, but I just have a feeling Jerry would never approve of something that big.

I have watched Smitty on the media circuit over the past few weeks on ESPN and NFL and he has been very gracious towards his former team..Even giving accolades to many of the players... When he started his analyst circuit on Mike and Mike he did come at Norman but later cleaned it up on Sportscenter that same day..I don't know if he was able to see the tape and saw how he came across..

I as a fan would love to see him retire as a Panther..

But until then..onward to the Superbowl!

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
