He had 6th rounder grade that got the infamous Raider reach, still want....

I'm not a Clemson fan but yeah, I'd still want.  The kid's athleticism is off the charts and remember he was a safety in college.  Even Thomas Davis had trouble adjusting to the change his rookie year and he was a first rounder.  You take the top-notch athlete and coach him up.  I mean we brought in Paddy Fisher and the guy is about as headsy of a LB as you can get, but is a marginal athlete.  He got cut despite a lack of depth; couldn't even make the practice squad.

Im thinking the same thing, hes changing form safety to WLB/SLB/etc. Development type, young, hungry, be closer to home, cheap......toooo much not to ignore. Plus panthers have a HUGE need, come to butthead...

Aren't waiver claims done earlier this season than in the past?  When would we hear?

I really hope we get him and he fits the profile of a Fitterer (and maybe even Rhule) kind of player - super athletic, great size, and judging from college, an all-effort kind of guy.  We definitely could use LBs, and even if he's still more of a safety, we seem to do well playing hybrids like Chinn and Franklin.  Plus, he's local...  I see no reason we wouldn't bring him in other than possibly then not wanting to shake up the roster after the gameplan has already been put in place for week 1.  But, to me, that's irrelevant...  there's no way he's not better than someone like Sean Chandler.

In summary, go get him.

teams have until 4 pm to put in a claim, we should know where this guy is heading in a few hours.

No one claimed him.....a tad surprised. It maybe in part due to teams focused on week one games and there are waiting periods for all players new tp the roster. 

 

Is there a chance in hell that the panthers could wave one of their 18 PS WRs and place him there??

    • The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter. 
    • Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
    • I parked in this lot a few times. It would take over and hour to get out of that lot after games. Never again
