Panthers released DE Chris Smith. 

The 28-year-old lasted only four months in Carolina. Smith made nine forgettable appearances for the Browns last season before getting released. With roster sizes limited this summer, Smith is in a tough spot as he waits for another team to take a flier.

I think he is from West Rowan High--unless my names are mixed up.  I did not like the signing, fwiw, and it means we might feel good about the following strong side DEs (all weigh 265, fwiw):

  • Gross Matos  (excited about this pick)
  • Obada
  • Weatherly 

That means, I am guessing, that we are going to run some wide 9 with the WDEs: 

  • Burns
  • Haynes
  • Miller

On paper, I see it.

Greg Little on the injured list.

What an awful pick he was and a guy a bunch of us said we couldn’t stand before the draft. We could have had Bobby Evans (starting RT for Rams) and Erik McCoy (probably perennial pro bowl C for the beloved Saints) instead of Little. So dumb and we had both of those guys in for private visits. SMH. Anyone with half a brain that watched Little at the combine walked away thinking he was not going to be good in the NFL. Another 1 guy draft. Burns and nobody, awful considering we had an extra 3rd.

    Gotta love that the Saints got two quality starters with only 2 picks(48 and 105) in the same time the Panthers had 6 picks. The Saints even got as much from just their UDFAs as the Panthers did their whole draft. 
 

     But, once again, being right about this team’s incompetence was just shrugged off as being “negative”.

      Them playing behind a couple more seasoned guys until they get familiar with coverage and pace of play is a good thing though. We really can use them to spell the other guys, and in situational ball especially with Ransom on possible run/blitzing downs.

      I think completion percentage is a bit of a overinflated stat for a qb too. People place to much stock into it. So many factors to consider with it : receivers, how many attempts are made deep, the defense etc all play a roll in it. When it’s considerably low 50% or less the QB accuracy can come into question. But I don’t think it’s necessarily one of the better percentages to put so much importance into for that position. General effectiveness is far more indicative of the QB you have. First downs, 3rd and 4th down conversions, points scored and clutch plays IMO is how you grade a QB. Always bothered the poo out of me how people downed Cam for his completion percentage and that’s what they used to disregard him as an all time great. Dude damn near averaged 3tds to 1 turnover a game and was an obvious difference maker for us.
