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.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
