Steve Smith is as good as gone

vets supply you with a safety net. just in case these rookies really suck you can go back to the vets or transition rookies into the system. now these guys have to step up or we will be screwed there is no safety net.

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.

No Way! Steve Smith will be a Carolina Panther until he decides to retire.
