What? He was going to be released due to the Eagles being over the cap. So he would most certainly have been a free agent. It has everything to do with what other FA WRs are getting. Are you so blinded by your Hurney hatred that you will continue to search for ways to justify your bashing of every single move that he makes? It is not "lawding Hurney's geinious" to recognize that the existing contract the Smith has is a lot better than what he would have gotten had he hit the FA market.

No I'm not blind. I'm also not assuming that he would have gotten more money else where.  That's your assumption.   It's you geniouses that think it's a good deal based on what others got.  My dumbass will wait to see if he earns the 5 mil he's making now.

It is not a far reaching assumption, based on the deal that was just talked about in this very thread. But you got your blinders on. It is OK. 

 

Oh, and there is no "o" in genius, genius.

Typo "genuis". But you got me there.  No, I don't have Homer glasses on.  But keep doing you.  Remember this after the season is over and you are still whinny about Cam not having any weapons.

There is a spot between homer and hater. I don't look at everything that Hurney does as the be all and end all of GM moves, but nor do I automatically determine them to be crap just because he made them. I have no idea how Smith is going to turn out. Any more than I know if Watkins is going to stay healthy, or if Robinson is going to be able to come back from his surgery. What I do know is that we needed a veteran receiver with some speed, and got one. And based on the current FA WR market, we got one at a good price. That is all I am saying.

Excellent post.

We traded away a under-performing CB for a WR that has a CHANCE to contribute, unlike the CB who did not contribute in 2 years.

It was a good move by Hurney.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By frankw · Posted

      4610 total yards 27 total touchdowns 8 yards per attempt. Completion percentage was usual Cam ie mediocre or below at best at 57.7 and 86.2 passer rating. But the man scored points and moved the ball at will often. Compared to 2652 total yards 21 total touchdowns 6.3 yards per attempt completion % 60.9 82.2 passer rating. Let's just not do things like this. We can acknowledge Bryce improved (from realistically a bottom 5 QB) and hope he can work his way within the top 15 this season without dragging Cam Newton into it and unintentionally diminishing him. That's all I got to say. Carry on.

      I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.
