I just read an article on smitty's broken arm on ESPN by Yaskinsas and he said "the panthers best player won't be ready for training camp". I really don't have anything bad to say about the article or his opinion but I just wanted to throw this out there...is Steve Smith still our best player?

On a team with Deangelo Williams, jon beason, Jonathon Stewart, jordan gross, Ryan kalil and others...I would say the torch has been passed to either Deangelo or beason....maybe even Stewart but I still say Williams is better right now. What does everyone else think?

Yes. For what he brings to the team and his position he is the best player. But we do have other weapons to make an affective offense. I'd say it's

1. Smith

2. Beason

3. Deangelo

4. Kalil

5. Stewart

6. Gamble

7. Gross ( you have to consider the fact that we've been able to plug guys in at tackle and never miss a beat)

It's definitely an opinion thing but I would say beason or Williams simply bc of there talent and their leadership (especially beason). But you can't go wrong either way, I think smitty is definitely up there.

One thing I've thought of in all this is that we really don't have as much talent on defense as I would like. Beason and gamble are the only real stud players....outside of that it's mainly just potential. With that said there are definitely guys who could breakout this season and be really good (Charles johnson, Louis leonard, Sherrod martin, and so on).

right now, i'd say no, he's 3rd behind DeWill and Beason.

Steve has the biggest impact if injured and not playing. Stewart is hurt was have DeAngelo. DeAngelo is hurt we have Stewart. If Steve is hurt.....we got nothing but potential players that haven't done crap. Smith is the recieving game right now....the RBs are part of the run game. Smith is more important than either RB simply b/c we got 2 of them.

Beason is the defense and a the best leader we have. He imo might be the most important player right now but I wouldn't say he is a bigger playmaker than Smitty.

Smitty is the Panther's best player of all-time IMO and should get a statue IMO.

Is he the best right now? No, not really.

Our best player is easily Beason, without him the team (at least the D) would crumble. He is a biggest key player right now. It all depends on circumstances and opinion.

dewill is lost for the season, we have stewart and vise-versa

smitty is out we could sign a FA (TO or another vet) and continue with our young talent.

if beason is lost, our defense crumbles. beason is unreplaceable with any FA. think about how the steeler defense crumbled when troy P was lost in week 1.

i think beason is the most important player on the team.

Beason may be the most "important" player because of how much the defense relies on him. But Smith is still our best player. There is no one on this team that matches his play-making ability. There is no one else on the team that demands nearly as much game-planning from other teams. He's the best.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
