Panthers sign former Bills WR


Recommended Posts

I hope for his sake Shi Smith is just renting something. 

Team is obviously looking for an upgrade at punt returner, and Byrd & Stevenson have proven more at least thus far.

I also don't see how Shi gets much playing time as a receiver in a group with Chark, Theilen, TMJ, Mingo, & Shenault (or Byrd for that matter)

I think of all the players who had a significant role last season, Shi is the most likely to not be on this year's team.

Yep.  Special Teams was a surprisingly a major strength for the Panthers last year.

Hekker was a punt god, Eddy was incredible except for Atlanta, JJ Jansen is going to play forever, and Blackshear was low-key a good kick returner.  And ST coverage was solid for the most part.

The glaring weakness was at punt returner.  It seemed like we had Andre Roberts designated for that role, but then he got hurt and we tried to make Shi the guy but he simply underperformed, both as a PR and as a WR.

This is one of the best things about a new coaching regime IMO.  No more Temple/Baylor nonsense nepotism, no more stupid signs, no more stupid college cliches.

This year is about cutthroat competition and rewarding us long-suffering fans with a freaking playoff berth!

Man his chances are beyond slim.

    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
