Steve Smith is as good as gone

[CRA]

ok, Carolina is getting young....and they are only gonna replace the spots through the draft. No quality FAs imo, just guys to patch a hole for a year.

Now, Jake is gone.

If Rhys is gone then I assume Kasay is coming....

That removes the 2 men that keep Smitty in check and that he legitimately liked on the team. Smitty will not want to be on a team getting young and looking to rebuild the next couple drafts

this imo will likely be Smitty's last season in Carolina....we better enjoy it. Only hope is for Moore to lead Carolina to the playoffs......but that would keep Fox here and this year isn't being planned out for success to be expected.

I know the drinks are flying around the Huddle, but let's not get ridiculous. Smitty is a Panther for life.

Not gonna happen.

Are you kidding. After Moore came in last season Smitty looked like his old self again. Smitty gonna make Moore into a Pro Bowl. Watch and see.

Go Panthers

I don't either. I don't like the fact I think a Kasay cut is coming b/c Jake/Kasay were Smith's rock in Carolina. Kept him as reasonable as he could be.

I don't like the way top tier athletes act during the tail end of there career on teams looking to rebuild.

I don't want it to happen......but you gotta think it is a reasonable thought

[jpniner]

I can see it if they get ALOT for him, however then they are leaving Moore out to die. Jake would've been out of NFL long ago if not for Smith.

No trade for Smith should be done unless it includes getting someone like Brandon Marshall and a first.

Yeah, with no defense the offense is going to have a much tougher year next season. The team by all accounts, is taking a step back this year in order to make a move the next few.......that happens and Moore/Smitty can't control that.

[CRA]

Just trying to have a discussion.....

so it is dumb to think about an aging Smith wanting off a team? A team that might not have either of his two friends remaining and a brand new coach after this season?

No defense? what are you talking about?

We lost one player that really mattered in Peppers but we have 2+ capable players ready to take the reigns. Damion Lewis might be a loss but he was just average..
