Whether he is buying the New Orleans Saints and their receivers:

“You don’t really have to buy anything. They are doing a great job. Great receivers? I wouldn’t go there. I am just being… Marques Colston is a good receiver but…Henderson, those guys got Drew Brees throwing to them. You don’t really…You sneeze good and turn around Drew Brees is really just square in between their numbers. I am not hatin’ but I think honestly I have watched those guys run routes and they don’t necessarily have to run the best routes because their quarterback is ridiculous.”

More importantly, IMO, he had this to say:

Whether he is going to be in Carolina in the years to come:

“My contract goes to 2012 but I also know that this is a business and it is not personal. Whatever happens happens. I am not saying that I don’t want to leave and I am not saying that I want to stay but it is really not up to me. I don’t really call the shots to that extent. I know I probably have six good years left in these short, squatty legs. I will see wherever God wants me to play so I am going to go and my family is going to come with me and they are going to be happy.”

...scary?!?

You would think that all of this type of press recently has sent a wake-up call to the FO. I wish we could just start posting the exact opposite of what we really think the Panthers should do so they could in turn, do what we actually wanted them to do. We pull a Reverse on'em. HAHA

What I don't get is how people act like he's the team's only hope. He's a freaking wide receiver, for God's sake. Mark Carrier was replaced by Moose as the go-to guy. Moose was replaced by Smitty. Smitty will be replaced by someone else, someone who doesn't punch out teammates and cost the team 15 yards in key moments of games.

Why would it be scary if Smith wants to leave in 3 more years after this one. At most he would have one or two years left and he will be going on 35. If he lasts that long it will be great. But given that he doesn't have the best physical attributes and has to do everything with sheer desire and fierce competitiveness, there is no guarantee in 4 years he will even be able to do half of what he does now. He wil have lost a step or two, a couple inches of vertical leap and may not have the fire he does now. By then we will ridden that pony as far as it will likely go.

      Forget trying to draft a QB in the early first round--it's stupid

      By ColumbusCounty · Posted

      I dont think people realize how hard it is to find a consistent starting QB in the NFL. Byrce will not heart us to a SB but I do think he can manage to get us one or close..go all in on defense and change the Offensive passing game and play calls. I really think our biggest problem is our HC.  Take New Orleans QB for example, switch him and Bryce and I promise you it'll look similar or worse. New Orleans OC is levels ahead of Canales. And as far as the draft goes, in this division with as much rb talent as we face ..the answer...this guy:    Pick up a couple edge rushers in FA along with a corner and plug this guy in Rozeboom's spot. Defense solved. But only if we get a top tier rusher on that dline....jus saying

      World cup ticket prices

      By HeelsPanthersCanes · Posted

      I think I'm going to the game in Los Angeles vs Paraguay, and the England / Croatia game here in Dallas since my mom is British.  For decent seats anywhere in the building(s) it looks like it will be upwards of $7k for the two games.  Insane. Just for perspective, you could buy field level EPL tickets for any one of the top sides in the league, and it would be 10% of the price you'll pay for crappy seats at the World Cup.

      Possibly playoff affectng news

      Meh… I knew this thread would turn into a Bryce/Tua comparison, when they couldn’t be further apart situations.   Dolphins catered there whole offense toward Tua, they brought in a coach that would run a Tua friendly offense, the went in got the best most explosive WR in the NFL and paired him the fastest WR in that years draft. Panthers have done the opposite, they went and got a Pete Carroll disciple who likes to run the ball under center, they drafted big slow WR who got little separation in college. Literally the polar opposite of Bryce’s scouting report coming out of Alabama.   Tua was a decent QB 2 years ago, but the concussions, lack of movement have caught up to him. He never had a great arm to begin with but now since he doesn’t want to get hit he’s taking the whole offense down with him.
