Torrey Smith wants Eric Reid on the Panthers

Will have to drop the suit first.  People keep bringing his name up, but forget that he is suing the NFL currently...can't imagine that he could/would get hired doing it that way.

And yes, if he is healthy and in good shape I'm all for a tryout at the very least.

Think everyone outside of Marty and Ron want him

 

 

But of course Ron:

"We felt very comfortable about the way our guys played"

 

 

A good chunk of this fan base wants Torrey Smith gone and Reid in.

Meanwhile, Smith continues to start and drop passes.  And Collin Jones starts, gets torched while Ron talks how well they played

Good point but im glad Torrey is vouching for it and making panthers more aware of our problems at saftey.  

We definitely need SOMEONE much better than Colin Jones if we want to win any divisional games this season

Panthers management has never been particularly fond of players using the media to make "suggestions", and yes that includes Rivera.

Might be different under Tepper, but to be honest most teams tend to frown on this kind of thing.

My first thought as well...Ron has never liked this type of nudge before.

If you are balling out, catching everything, had a high cap number, and were making suggestions....they may look the other way.  If you are playing like Torrey....I'm not so sure.

    • This is a good story--I LOVED his dad as a person and player--I talked to him at an OTA (he was back for his second stint) and he was talking about Moore (the WR from Wake Forest) being so young.  I was with my teenage son and told him, "This is Taylor.  He and I attended the OTAs when you were in Rock Hill as a rookie."  He jokes, "Was he in diapers then?" and laughed.  I imagine Moose III was in diapers when we chatted that day.  So I really would love for this to work out.  However, his stats do not suggest he was anything special in college.
    • I guess there are signs. The combination of the turf toe, hamstring, and knee issues led to questions about his long-term health and affected his draft stock, causing him to fall to the second round.  Here is what I know about a knee injury.  It changes nearly every aspect of your lower body movement.  So the turf toe and hamstring could be related.  It makes him seem injury prone.  I guess the knee was not the most recent injury, so the others could have been a result of favoring the knee. Johnson did not run the 40 at the combine or pro day.  That suggests there is something he feels might drop his value.  So if you downplay the severity of the injury, have a history of possibly related injuries, and refuse to demonstrate (when given multiple opportunities) that you are fully recovered, don't get mad when your stock drops. 
    • I saw numerous reports leading up to the draft that he'd been injury red flagged by numerous teams due to cartilage damage and wear issues that they think could shorten his career.
