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.

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
    • 7 wins this year and some of those against really good teams and yall think Canales might get fired? Lol Good luck getting a better coach in here if that happens.
