(UPDATE) Peter King lists the Panthers as one of four possible trade destinations for Steelers WR Antonio Brown

That stuff is so overblown. By the time someone is 21, they are basically the person they are going to be. If they have good values it's going to show. If they don't, that's already revealed itself. These are young men, not kids. Character flaws (if they really are flaws) don't really rub off when you're adults. Maybe bad habits, but only for weaker minded individuals. Steve Smith's anger issues and lack of maturity were his and his alone. 

The Panthers do a good job of drafting  good people, and good teammates. There is a culture of solidarity and an institutional hierarchy of leadership and respect, so people fall in line.

And, lastly, at the end of the day, Rivera doesn't play that "poo," he'll get you straight. 

You must be... oh, about 21 or so.

They're kids in the sense that they're just now starting to earn real money and are naive as hell about the world outside of their parents' home and a dorm room.

Heard yesterday that (who was it... team president?) someone said that the Steelers did not anticipate him being there for training camp.  That they were 'exploring all other options'.  They said he wouldn't be cut, though. So, and correct my math here if I'm off, cut + play + trade + kill = all available options?

 

Last time a big name WR had this kind of talk around him, I think he went to the Pats for a 3rd (Moss).  that's IIRC. 

 

If we are getting him for a 3rd, anyone opposed to that? 

It was a 4th rounder but Moss was coming off his worst season and was foolishly considered over-the-hill by most. Brown's arguably the best in the game.

I wholeheartedly agree, but just because you're inexperienced or even naive, that doesn't necessarily make you have a proclivity to take on someone else's character flaws. By the time you're 21, your core character has pretty much been established.

By the accounts I've seen, Moore and Samuel are pretty high character, team guys. But for excessive speeding (which most of us did at one time or another), I haven't heard anything but good things.

    • Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.
    • The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter. 
    • Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
