I think he is most upset with being a legit WR threat in an offense with no veritcal passing plans. Whether that is Davidson's elementary offense or lack of faith in a QB who knows. I suspect some of both. As long as you have Fox, Davidson and Delhomme I can't imagine attacting or retaining any FA's to come to Charlotte. But yea Smith is a hot head. Has always been a hot head even though he managed to contain it some.

A few? Try half a season. With no end in sight either. The only way they are trying to get him the ball is on screen passes that the entire defense knows are coming. That's his biggest problem with everything. They are trying to get him the ball by being the most predictable team in the NFL.

They threw him a deep ball late in the game. Smitty never even looked up for it. They threw him a ball where he gained 10-15 yards in the first half. He yelled at Davidson never to call it again.

His mind is not with this team any more. Which is a shame, because not too many teams would have given him as many chances as the Panthers have.

I agree with you, but from his perspective he is on the backside of his career and he is a guy who loves to prove everyone wrong, and he has the worst starting QB on a one dimensional team, would you be frustrated?

The throw down the field wasn't even close to where he was running. He looked up for it, and it was over the other shoulder by 5 yards or so. Had they both known it was going to that shoulder it would have been a catch. Don't know who to blame there.

The pass he was mad about was like a gain of 5 wasn't it? It just had a personal foul tacked onto it. And it was yet another screen pass just to get Smith the ball.

And I don't really know what you are talking about with "chances". He's been one of the best receivers in the NFL for quite some time. And now we can't get him the ball, we are losing. It's as simple as that.

He's punched out teammates on at least three occasions that I know of. The last one had the defense talking about payback in training camp. Would you get away with punching a coworker once?

Every time someone else on the team gets a big contract, Smitty goes into one of his snits.

He's talented enough that you could get something of value for him. The Panthers aren't going to the Super Bowl this year, with or without him. Send him somewhere else and fill your locker room with players who want to play for you. Fox proved in 04 that he can win with backups as long as they're all rowing in the same direction.

By this thought process, Fox has also proven he can't get to the playoffs without Smith.

But if we get rid of Smith, is Jarrett now our #1 receiver? You want a less-than-average QB throwing to what appears to be a draft bust? I dunno about that.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
