What will it take to get Steve Smith to be (at the least) the WR coach.

DJ is putting up a hell of a season, just with Smitty barking at him online some, imagine if DJ was getting every bit of potential milked out of him daily.

Smitty would make a terrible coach and he basically just admitted as much himself with his comment on today's soft players. Most great players make terrible coaches. I think it's probably just hard for them to understand why most players can't make the types of plays that they made. It's because they can't. It doesn't matter how hard a guy works, the vast majority of NFL WRs simply don't have the ability to make a lot of the plays that Smitty made. Larry Bird ran into that issue when he tried to coach the Pacers. In the end, he just got frustrated to the point of hanging it up as a coach even though he was a very successful 147-67 in his three years as a head coach.

This is probably a good place to point out that there's a reason why people say you should never judge a draft or draft picks within the first year.

And for DBs, it really takes about three years to really judge them. There's a huge jump in requirements when they move up from college, the learning curve is tough and physical ability levels are much closer than they were versus college opponents.

I was getting out of the car for work this morning and Frank Garcia came on and said he should of been cut Monday morning !  Didnt hear the whole interview...

If we had an entrenched coaching staff, he very well may have been.

I won't be shocked if Fewell and company bury him on the bench, nor would I blame them if they did.

Jackson would probably make an amazing nickel. Not sure if he is cut out for outside corner long term.

Agreed!  If you're not comfortable and excited about being on an island and battling against top WRs, you don't need to be playing outside corner.

A lot more money than a WR coach makes.

Smitty's got a great gig right now. He's in a place where the job description calls for smack talk and he's celebrated for it. You ask me if I'd rather sit in a chair and spout my opinion for TV money, or be held professionally accountable for the development and achievement of other players, I'm taking the former all day.

Doesn't stop some people from calling Little and Grier busts.

And it's foolish for judging a draft pick within their second year also.

Exactly. Steve's other talent besides football has been trash talk. He's got the perfect career transition.

REAL CBs ALWAYS want to play man - even bump and run! That's how you tell the JUNKYARD DAWGS from the greyhounds and showdogs. 

In my opinion, he needs to learn to just make the tackle sometimes. Every CB gets beat for catches. Every single one. Just can't make it worse by going for the ball and giving up a 90+ yard TD.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
