Now Torrey Smith is officially a steal


Ja  Rhule

Recommended Posts

Every single year, for whatever reason, people are shocked at people getting overpaid.

Next year, the Panthers will need _______. Half the board will tell the other half "you're not signing him for less than ______.  They will scream and bitch and moan, and then days later see the light like so many have the last couple of days on Sammy Watkins and the like.

Man, I was certainly in that group that was like "$5 million is a LOT for Torrey Smith."  Then you see the insane money guys are getting now...

Maybe we should actually give the Hurndog a full off season before we completely over analyze everything he does....

*Nah, this is the Huddle, who am I kidding???

Lol...comparing Smith's salary to FA wr's is simplistic and moronic.  His value is based on his future production at his current cost.  It has nothing to do with what other wr's are getting in FA.  He wasn't even a FA to begin with so the cost comparison is invalid. 

But continue on lawding Hurneys genious and your intelligent circle jerk.

There are people who hate Hurney for always giving out huge contracts and fuging this teams future. Those same people are bitching about the Smith trade and Breeland signing and crying that we didn't resign Star and Norwell. If we would just cut Ryan Kalil we could have also signed ARob or Watkins herp derp. 

So Hurney sucks for giving our own guys huge contracts in the past and he's also the worst the second go round for not doing the same thing? WTF do you guys want? Do you even know?

The posters on this board are becoming unbearable. At least it isn't as bad as the Panthers subreddit.

meh nothing is different this year,  you gotta roll with it.

pretty sure no one was disputing it

A lot of national pundits panned this move when it happened saying we gave up a starting corner on a rookie contract for an overpaid WR. Quite a few said that Hurney should have waited bc Smith was going to be released and could have been had for cheaper. So...yea there were people doubting the trade.

Whaaaa!!!   What threads have you been reading? 

Hell even the OP was sh#$#$ on this 3 days ago. 

 

It's just that looking at the $$$$ all the FA WR's have gotten has sobered everyone the fug up. 

 

The debate was more whether Torrey Smith was enough. His contract's fine on it own merit, but that's 5 million less to spend.

I think what is being compared is the fact people were distraught we traded for Smith instead of waiting for him to be cut and sign him.

 

if our goal was to get Smith, then Hurney did it the correct way while being salary cap conscience

Fact: Smith was cheaper to trade for than to sign in FA after being cut.

Fact: Smith's salary is small compared to what the FA are getting.

Fact: Paying Smith $5 mil to be bad next year is a waste of resources that could've been applied to positions of higher need.

Fact: Smith offers virtually no upside, even at $5mil.

    • NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing. 
    • The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
    • Yeah man, that was a catch. I like to imagine the game isn’t rigged but it’s well known sports betting is ruining the sport. Unfortunately, most coaches plan for 3 phases of the game. But there is really 4, offense, defense, special teams, and special occasions. on special occasions the refs can influence the game, leaving you in positions your actively planning to stay out of and how you respond in those special occasions make or break the game. Other times it’s other reasons. But I like to hope that the right team, or right player can extend past those types of setbacks and still find a way. anywho, probably a pipe dream. But it’s how I see it.
