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 WUnderhill · Posted

      You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.

      Yeah, this is all projections of how it will turn out. Inevitability this list will look ridiculous in a full 2025 sesson hindsight, most likely. Still, I am pretty surprised that so many bristled at being thought of as having very, very lowly ranked WR and TE units. We literally have been for years. All you have to do is just have things stay the same and those are immediately bottom 5 units. It is easy to see why one would be reticent to have lofty expectations in the preseason. Gotta show it first when you are a perennial cellar dweller. That's just life at the bottom.

      That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.
