"Panthers coach John Fox said “possibly” he’ll talk to WR Steve Smith about his comments after the Sunday’s game. Smith told reporters that he doesn’t feel like an asset to the team after catching just one pass for 4 yards. Carolina ran 48 times for 267 yards."

Why doesn't he JUST DO IT instead of telling the press he might?

:rolleyes:

reporter: are you going to talk with Smith about his comments?

Fox: possibly

Steve will talk will a lot of people about it, he's just frustrated and has reason to be. However, he's not getting open like he usually does and the OL isn't holding up as well agaist the rush. It's an offense thing, not just a Steve thing.

There were some breakdowns in protection, but for the most part the Oline played really well. Jake fails at decision making, holds onto the ball for too long, and has no sense of when the rush is coming.

I know Jake can find Smith if he has 10 seconds to throw the ball. However, so can any QB at the NFL level. If that's what you need, you're not good.

For once Fox was right on. He was straighforward. Anyone who saw the game yesterday knows that Smitty was doubled all day and rarely open. What Smitty actually needs to do is remain patient and keep pluggin away until he gets his. While defensive players are largely fiery, Offensive players need to be more patient and calm. Both Jake and Smitty suffer from too many negative emotions particularly at the wrong time. It actually hinders both their performances contrary to popular belief.

      Panthers possibly trading Thielen?

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      I agree. I’d make the move because I don’t see us sniffing the playoffs and let’s be honest TMac, Legette and Coker better be our top 3 future. If they aren’t and we need Thielen to replace one of them, then we need to draft yet another 1st round WR, SMH. Suffice it to say, Thielen isn’t good enough to get us into the playoffs so let’s get the young guys starting so we know if they aren’t good enough. We still have so many assumptions about whether players are who we need them to be that holding onto Thielen for 3-7 wins isn’t worth passing on a mid round pick (3rd to 5th/swaps). We’ve had some success with later round picks/UDFAs and need depth.

      If you move Thielen I think you almost have to keep Renfrow. You need some sort of veteran presence in the locker room and Renfrow would be good insurance in the slot. I'm sure we have Coker penciled in to start there but you also have to be keeping Coker in the back of your head as XL insurance on the outside if he doesn't step up. If he flounders again, I wouldn't wait too awfully long to replace him with Coker outside and slide Renfrow into the slot and keep it moving.

      Playing the same role is different than having the same style.  Cam Newton and Drew Brees both played QB but arent the same type in any way.
