"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:

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.

      Is Chris Brazzell just another DJ Chark?

      By blueandblackattack · Posted

      I was checking out Chris Brazzell II measureables, and I thought they looked suspiciously familiar. Turns out it was true, almost identical measureables to former Panthers DJ Chark circa 2023. I even checked Terrace Marshall Jr results, and honestly isn't that far behind them.   I know this isn't unique for just our team, but we seem to specifically have an obsession with trying to make this tall lanky speedsters work for us. I admittedly wasn't that high on Brazzell, and when I watched the tape I didn't really see that 4.3 speed, and a strong wind seems to tackle him.   I really liked most of the draft, including getting Hecht in the 5th when I graded him as a #1 Center in this draft. I'm rooting for the guy to work out, especially since our HC and OC made their bones as Wide Receiver coaches. But Brazzell is the only one I'm kinda meh on. I was hoping we'd trade up to get Big Citrus, or if we went WR I liked Ted Hurst much better. We'll see though. 3rd rounders seem to be coin-flips for us (see DJ Johnson/Matt Corral). But I'm rooting for the guy and for this experiment to finally pay off.   I haven't seen anyone else post something about this, so just thought it was interesting and passing it along.   #keeppounding   -------------------------------------------------------------- AI Overview   Chris Brazzell II and D.J. Chark both possess nearly identical elite deep-threat profiles, highlighted by their tall, lanky builds and blazing sub-4.40 speed. Chark was slightly faster, while Brazzell offers a marginally heavier frame and longer wingspan. [1, 2, 3, 4] The side-by-side physical and athletic testing results from their respective NFL Scouting Combines outline their comparable profiles: [1] Metric [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] D.J. Chark (2018) Chris Brazzell II (2026) Height 6'3" 6'4" Weight 199 lbs 198 lbs Wingspan 78.5" 80.1" 40-Yard Dash 4.34 seconds 4.37 seconds 10-Yard Split ~1.50s (est.) 1.52 seconds Vertical Jump 40.0" 40.0" (pre-draft) Hand Size 9.25" 9.0" Analytical Comparison Size & Build: Both receivers offer an excellent catch radius with lanky, outside-threat frames. Brazzell holds a slight edge in height and an even more significant advantage in wingspan, giving him a massive target radius. Speed Profile: Chark famously recorded the fastest 40-yard dash time at his combine, while Brazzell was a standout at his event. Both times are elite for their size, translating directly to the "field-stretching" and vertical playmaking abilities that define their games. Draft Status: Chark was selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the second round (61st overall) of the 2018 Draft. Brazzell was selected by the Carolina Panthers in the third round (83rd overall) of the 2026 NFL Draft.

      I still reserve my right to bitch about how incompetent the Panthers are at running a football organization and point to the mountains of evidence in support.
