Perhaps the Panthers dodged a bullet. Jeudy traded to the Browns for a 5th and 6th round picks

You have the freedom of speech but you don't have the freedom of employment. They told him to dial it back and outside of the heat of the moment he complied. That's personal growth from Smitty.

 

 

 

 

But he was right.

Freedom of Speach has absolutely nothing to do with your employer.

All that's great, but let's stop acting like we know that Smitty was told to dial it back. We don't. Moreover, It was actually great for ratings. Smitty likely listened to some of his peers (like Keyshaun and Michael Irvin) who put something on his mind, and after thinking about it and analyzing the situation, Smitty changed his tune (and, yes, that is personal growth). 

As far as whether he was right about what type of receiver Jeudy is, I'm going to take Smitty for his word: if he did more analysis and came to a more thoughtful conclusion, I'm going to take him for his word. He's not a bullshitter and never has been (job or not).

Every time I see an employee fired for some HR violating "free speech" I always laugh.

All they had to do was wait until they were outside the company premises(and not actively representing the company) and they can say the most wild and offensive poo on the planet with little repercussion(minus social media).

But you thought free speech had anything to do with your employer. And clearly read absolutely nothing of the employment agreements you signed nor any HR policy.

In the end, the trash usually takes itself out.

      Good film breakdown of Young. Good and bad. Film examples

      How did this “innovative” narrative start with Canales? Just because he’s young? He truly wants to run the ball and nothing Tampa did last year was all that creative. Mike Evans ability to win 1 on 1 does wonders for an offense as a whole

      Initially, I wanted Stroud but I thought the trade up meant that, whoever they chose, it was for a reason.  There was no pressure to do anything for the entire scouting team to do other than investigate every aspect of the top 3 candidates.  Stroud had his question marks, and I think it is possible that he falters this year.  Bryce had a much worse situation here in Carolina because we neglected the OL, traded our #1 WR, did not pick WRs well in the draft, traded our pro bowl RB, and seem to disregard the TE position altogether.  Bozeman was not a good fit and we relied on an improved OL in 2022 to suggest that we were set there when we were far from it.  Fitterer had no vision, no grasp of talent, and everyone in the front office and on the coaching staff were pretending to be gurus.  Our coaching staff was a group of men earning a lifetime achievement paycheck.  It all goes back to the years of neglect for the OL.  My theory?  If Stroud had come to Carolina, he would be as mocked and ridiculed as Bryce Young.   No, he does not have a cannon.  Chad Pennington was a weak-armed QB who had success and would have been even better if it were not for injuries.  Smarts is important at QB, and so are mechanics.  Before you can address Young's mechanics, he needs an OL, Running game, and weapons. We were not really able to run play action from under center for a few reasons--play action is not effective when you have to pass the ball--other than that, the QB must turn his back to the LOS for about 1.5 seconds.  When the QB has less than 2.5 seconds to pass the ball, that eliminates that part of the play book.  Heck, even the run option is minimized when there is immediate facial pressure.  SO those who want to talk about happy feet, bouncing, etc--they are symptoms of the problem, not the problem.  A weak arm?  Well, Young's arm is between Chad Pennington and Joe Montana--closer to Joe.  His are is not as weak as some think--but he has issues with the deep ball. When you are reacting to the defense and quickly have to pass, then that takes away the strength because you don't have the base to get power behind it.  I still wish we had taken Stroud, but we have Young and if you toss him out before giving him support, you are not wise, unsmart, not unfoolish, and rather elite in your failure to attain mediocrity.  Expect growth.  How much? Nobody knows.
