Just imagine how bad you have to be in practice to not earn more of a role in last years offense as the only guy on the whole unit with any sort of speed. And while he had a couple nice punt returns, there were so many that I just had to close my eyes because he fielded a punt he should have fair caught and got blasted as the ball hit his hands.

Pretty good isn't good enough. Aim higher. 

I'm not really trying to be an asshole, but I think more than a few Huddlers should follow this advice.

not sure why we wouldn't. it's not like he breaks the bank and he gives us a respectable returner.

only thing i can think of is that they are counting on one or two of the WRs we draft carrying on in that role as well. 

Probably has something to do with the almost 3 mil that we'd owe him.

yeah, I want a brand new WR corp.   It's not happen, but we can't keep bringing back everyone. 

Mingo is going to be here. 

Slow can't run Theilen is going to be here. 

Now going to add this dude? 

Pretty soon it's just going to be the exact same group....plus a rookie.

I think that was really just bad coaches that can't manage a roster.  ISM called our OC on that bologna too.

I don't really get this. He was one of the only guys that seemed to give a fug. Now the Panthers have yet another roster hole and have to find a new returner.

It's easy to think about primary returners as easily replaceable, but I've seen one too many times over the years the Panthers trot out JAGs that end up being a net-negative in the return game. Yeah, you can find a returner at the end of the draft, but it's still a draft pick used, and as the Panthers have shown time and time again it's not a guaranteed position to draft.

My growing sentiment is that next year, without major hits in free agency and the draft, is going to be one of the least competitive Panthers teams assembled. It just feels like this team is on the Browns franchise trajectory.

Sorry, 3 mil is rich for Smith-Marsette. Plus, there's still a chance that we bring him back. I fully expect us to draft a couple of receivers in the draft, and possibly even a RB. Some of these day 2 guys have experience returning kicks. Keep in mind that Smith-Marsette wasn't drafted until the 5th round. Dude has been on 3 rosters so far, and that doesn't even include KC.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By 52Beast · Posted

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
