You know when I actually watched that live, I was pissed, and wanted the panthers to cut him after then game for making us look like douchebags. But after watching it a couple times I dont think it was that dirty of a hit. Clifton Smith never calls fair catch and seeing as there is no way Dante Wesley could know where the all is in the air, he was trying to time it so the hit came as the ball got there, to try and make a play for his team, and in that situation depending on the way the ball would bounce, potentially a TD.(That coupled with the fact that it was the end of the half so a penalty probably wouldnt matter anyways)

He did nothing wrong. However, if it happened the other way around (someone hit a Panther like that) I would probably be pissed, so I can't really say much.

yeah, you're right. so is the other guy. the hit wasn't that illegal. i mean, he wasn't supposed to hit the guy before the ball got there, cause they're suppose to have possession before anyone can touch them... but in this case, wesley had no idea where the ball was, so instead of letting that guy, smith, make a play, he decided to perhaps make a play or take the penalty... but when the buccs cleared their bench, it went downhill from there. at least the brawl wasn't a racial brawl like back in the fifties and sixties. (i'm just sayin...) lol

It's either legal or it's not -- you can't say it wasn't that illegal. The hit was clearly illegal, but I agree that Wesley didn't mean to do it and just did a very poor job of timing the hit.

We've never had any other trouble out of Wesley (that I know of), and he handled himself with class the week after the hit by calling and apologizing to both Smith and Goodell.

      He is also a player that has that "lock room cancer" tag.  We don't see much of the full picture, but I try to stay far away from that type of player. He is historically not good at losing, and we tend to do that a good bit. Not a good fit in my opinion.  I respect the skill, though.

      RODS gotta GO

      I honestly can't think of a teams first line basically telling the coach to fug off like last night's line of Aho, Jarvis and Svechnikov did to Rod.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Do you even know what the term "below average" means? Because I'm genuinely not sure if you do. There are 32 QB's in the league, which means to be playing "above average" he'd have to be the 15th best QB at the league, and even then, that's in essence the "average NFL QB" still. Even going by these rankings, which have him 20th, that by itself is the definition of "below average", and that's before you consider there are multiple QB's ranked below him in this list that I'd 100% trade him for in a heartbeat. Again, no matter what you think the eye test tells you, he's made 28 starts and has a grand total of FOUR games over 247 yards.  Drake Maye has made 10 starts, all with a significantly worse group of pass catchers than Bryce has had, and he already has 3 games over that number himself. I don't need to see or know anything else beyond that to determine he is a below average QB in this league so far and I don't know how anyone can honestly argue against that.  If he was a Lamar Jackson type putting up 75+ yards rushing on a consistent basis, then you can look at those passing yards differently, but that's not the case here. Could he still improve and get to average or better?  Of course. But you're trying to extrapolate a few throws/drives/moments from a handful of games and trying to say that makes him even an average, if not above average, QB in this league.  Which is just nonsense when the players you're comparing him to have played at that level for full seasons or their entire careers.
