Panthers Have No Interest in Shaun Smith

Recommended Posts

According to Gantt. Asked him on twitter and here was the response:

There is none. As in zero. RT @Proudiddy Darin, are you hearing anything about any #Panthers interest in "fresh off suspension" DT Smith?

about 1 hour ago from web

Cool of him to get back on that b/c despite all our interest as fans, apparently the team has none. Sucks...

As you were... Back to doom and gloom.

I hope he does do a small write up on it. I know he had the suspension for steroids and some character issues, but I think he would've been worth the gamble and possibly rejuvenate the defense.

But as you had pointed out in the other thread, it's not like our team doesn't have its share of past indiscretions.

It might be more Richardson not wanting him due to character issues rather than Fox/Hurney. Who knows.

Well then we should rally together, find Anthony Bright and bring him to Charlotte. Call Ken Lucas and have him fly down after Seahawks practice is over for the week. Call Shaun Smith.

Bring them all in Big Cat's office and let Shaun Smith give them both a blindsided haymaker.

BAM! He's on the team and signs a long-term extension effective immediately. Big Cat loves that stuff...

    • the one thing this post has suprised me with is how much support there still is for young.  i dont understand why.  we had qbs before him that went to superbowls that lost support way quicker.  thr only qb we had had that started any number of games that played worse than young is clausen.  allen and moore played better and yet people still support him makes 0 sense to me
    • Again, can’t have a serious discussion if constantly wading through hyperbole. And you say that’s not really what was meant, but I tried to at one point get some folks to concede that he was physically capable of throwing a football 20yds just so we could get to a real discussion and they stuck with it. So I’m not sure your characterization is entirely accurate.
    • And this is his third year. As far as people not understanding things, I am not sure people accept how difficult it is to remake yourself from the ground up. Which he absolutely has to do to compete successfully at the NFL level.  He takes a step forward with the footwork and a step back when he is stressed and reverts to what always worked for him before. I will say it yet again, anyone that reached a level of success with their self taught technique but needed to rebuild to break through the limitations that imposed, will understand this. I don’t care what specific activity it is the same challenge. Muscle memory and comfort level fight against the new moves you are trying to train yourself to do without thinking.  He is there. There is a ceiling with his technique that is too low for the NFL. He has to retrain himself.  We are in the third year and I guess we are supposed believe that he will be so good  when he finally gets to where the new will be second nature, that we have to wait (how many more years) for him to finish doing it. If he ever finishes.  The sad fact is he will not succeed at the NFL level with his horrible college footwork and compensation moves like the tippy toe drop backs. He just won’t.  If he can’t put that on the table for us, we would be foolish to not seek an alternative plan.
