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.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By Panthers Addict · Posted

      I do think the rating is fair given how this unit hasn’t proven it with production. I understand you have to rank off production, not potential. However, our unit is also in a position to make this rating look foolish a year from now. We have 4 guys in the WR/TE room who all could legitimately take the next step this year, and catapult our rank. A guy under a lot of people’s radar after we took Tet, Jalen Coker. Mark my words, he will become the star of this room, and be the heir to Thielen.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      Exactly. You’d think 2-7 wins a year (in a 17 game season no less) since 2017 is going to keep us bottom tier. Every year we say the same poo like we haven’t been a bad team the past 7 years. Until we prove we aren’t a bottom dweller, that’s where we’ll stay ranked. God forbid we have OL injuries like 2016.

      Breakout 2025 Candidates

      What I love and hate about this team is it’s more filled with potential breakout players than ever before. JT, XL, Coker, Smith-Wade, Ikem, Trevin… and even Bryce are all guys I could legitimately see taking the next step. But the problem with having so many of those guys is that team success somewhat relies on them taking that step, and some are bound not to. That being said, I’m cautiously optimistic given our softer schedule, the way the offense clicked late last year, and the direction we finally have at GM, coach, and QB. Could see us as a sneaky playoff team.
