Gotta figure Jim Szoke probably gets the first shot at that job (and deservedly so) but you never know.

I remember liking Zarzour when he was on WFNZ. Unfortunately, he was partnered with colossal dickhead Marc (with a 'c') James.

Jim is good in pre-season but he is best as color guy IMHO.  Taylors play by play delivery is smooooth (so much better than Mic).

I haven't heard any of Zarzour's play by play at least not that I recall.

I did think he was good on WFNZ though.

Szoke is as knowledgeable and has seen as much if not more live Panthers games than anyone.  He has a wealth of experience to draw from and that's why he is best suited as someone to discuss the team not necessarily call the games. I've interviewed Jim myself and hes a natural radio talent.  It was so much fun picking his brain for the 30 minutes he gave us.  Good guy too.

Smith is a goober-head of a person, but I think he will tell it like it is---and that is great for preseason.  I liked Rucker, fwiw, but he was nice all the time.  Smith is likely to be more candid.

One thing that bothers me about some recent players who hit the booth:  They tend to relate everything to their situations.

I was not a Rucker or Donnelly fan at all, rucker did get better after a few years. I got no idea how smitty will do, hes hit and miss on NFL. His timing, wording, and delivery are his issues. I do like his real comments, hes still rough about waiting his turn and getting mush mouthed. Smitty sorta reminds me of Shaq, who is too thinned skin to be around the goat Charles. How will smith react when someone questions his statements live or when he is incorrect on a players name or just making live mistakes in general ??...hmmm Smith is the type that wants you press his buttons or he doesnt respect you, Jake did and they got along great. I never get along with those types.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
