It appears Smith may have indeed forced Jake's release..

Smith is getting older and knows his time in the N F L is getting shorter.

Steve has been hurt by a poor offense passing game last few seasons.

Which hurts his overall stats

Will Steve ever make the H O F ?

I say the last few seasons and lack of a Super Bowl win have hurt him.

So I could see what Zod said .

Steve wants a Q B that can get him the ball for stats

And a legit chance at a Super Bowl

Time is ticking on Steve

Yeah, he probably secretly wanted Jake and Fox gone. Jake will do. Fox wasn't axed, just "forced" to change his way of thinking when it comes to certain players and positions.

In the end, it doesn't make a difference if Smitty had anything to do with it at all, as long as we see progress.

Which is why I started my "as good as gone thread". He has few years left and a lockout takes one of those away. If Carolina is setting the stage to fully rebuild under a new coach in 2012......why wouldn't Smitty ask the team to let him go (kinda like Tony G) to try to achieve his dreams.....while Carolina rebuilds his last 2-3 years he can play the game. I still think people need to be ready for this to be Smitty last year.......especially if the current trend continues.

Why can't you guys separate Steve Smith the athlete from Steve Smith the person? I don't think anyone on here would argue that he is anything but a premier athlete, especially for his size. The guy is literally juiced up, not on roids, but on old fashioned rage. He's a throwback football player.

But to then say things like "Steve Smith is a class act" or "Steve Smith deserves this or that" is laughable. Steve Smith is an absolute turd of a human being. Does he do nice things for lower income kids? Yes. Does he say funny things sometimes? Uh huh. But he treats so many people like crap for the worst of all reasons...because he can. Teammates. Staff. Fans. Reporters. People who do him favors because he's Steve Smith.

You're so damn wrapped up in your 89 jerseys that you refuse to accept that the same traits that make him stand out on the field also make him hard to stand off it.

Have you forgotten that Jake was one of the teammates who stood up for him when he punched Ken Lucas? Or that Jake has never said a bad word about him when reporters went fishing for one?

      Rams are willing to deal one of the 1st rounders for all-pro talent in secondary

      By strato · Posted

      They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world.

      I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).

      It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
