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

His employer may have told him to apologize, but I seriously doubt they tell him how to analyze. America still has freedom of speech (for now).

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.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
