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.

      Houston Texans... You Suck!!!

      By CanadianCat · Posted

      I mean I think its a bit disingenuous to call basically anyone here a casual fan. I don't think the casual fan creates a profile then logs into it, in the offseason, to comments on mundane offseason topics.. I dont think anyone on here would be considered a casual fan. That said, I get your point. My POV is from the player. They sign this contract, move their family because of these contracts. When Clowney came him, we basically had a coming home party for him.  So yeah, I get why we did it and I know that ultimately the owner doesnt 'save' money, but I can feel for the human side of the player, which is why I want them to get all they can while they can.

      My guess is the NBA will either send Flagg back “home” to the Northeast in Brooklyn or Washington, or San Antonio so that they can keep building around Wemby. If I was a betting man I would take the odds on the Spurs. This definitely feels like a #1 pick that they will rig.

      Some...concerning UNC / Belichick news

      In fairness, she is ensuring she is talked about.  People really aren’t going out there way to bring her up.  It’s some weird poo.  She would end up getting talked about given her actions if she was 40. Bill realizing some of these high end “companions” got a game of their own.  That’s what I don’t think Bill saw coming.
