On the radio last night they even talked about us for the first time I'd ever heard. Saying that Smitty was awesome and one of the best playmakers in the NFL but even with our good OL, elite RBs, good Secondary, and Smitty there is no chance we make the playoffs.

I had to disagree.

"There is no way this Panthers team makes the playoffs. Even with the league's best rushing game, one of the league's best wide outs, the league's second best linebacker, one of the league's top passing defenses, and one of the league's best O-lines… But uh… They lost Julius Peppers SO there's NO WAY they make the playoffs."

I heard Chris Carter say that Steve Smith will have problems with this mentally. I believe Carter is still doing cocaine.

I'm not complaining though, because he just did us a favor. Everybody that follows the Panthers knows that Steve Smith will work even harder and play even harder when people start publicly doubting him. This dude played with a freakin broken neck in college, for crying out loud, and he came back stronger, faster, and better after he broke his leg here. This broken arm is nothing but fuel for Smitty's fire.

BTW, everybody does know that broken arms heal in about 6-8 weeks, and that it's still June, right?

I'm not worried about the chemistry with Matt Moore either. Moore had about 3 days of practice with the 1's before he got his first start as a rookie in 07, but when they got on the field in a real game, it looked like him and Smitty had been playing together for 3-4 years already.

If we're gonna worry about anything, it should be how quickly Moore can develop some chemistry with LaFell and Edwards. We already know he's more comfortable with Jarrett than Delhomme was.

I think thats the major reason Jarrett has failed in so many people eyes. Jake was a one trick pony. I'm not the biggest fan of Kenny Moore but with Smith down this will be good time for the youth movement to grow. Smith will still be at practice teaching the young guys so maybe this works out for the best. Unlike the Thomas Davis injury

Don't forget we lost Jake so yea, were doomed

BTW, don't y'all love how a couple of these experts are claiming that everybody will just gang up on our running game now, as if that's some brilliant new strategy? The Panthers have been facing 9 or more in the box for the last two years. In week 2 of the 08 season (when Smitty was still suspended) Chicago was actually putting all 11 men on the LOS for a good chunk of that game and the Panthers still ran the ball and won the game.

Of all the wide receivers to miss training camp, Smitty is the one that will hurt us the least. Throw the ball out there into space and Smitty will just about kill himself to catch the ball.

The other guys need reps with Moore and this is the best chance the coaches will have to assign someone to the second and slot WR spots. They can now evaluate two players at a time rather than one as they would have with Smitty in during practice.

Jarrett will have his work cut out for him. Everyone gunning for his spot will get more looks with the first team, so its now or never for him. Live up to the paychecks you've been getting or go join the waiver wire guys.

Smitty will be back and he'll hopefully be fine. I just hope that arm of his doesn't grow a big safety-seeking target on it after this. Two breaks on the same arm in seven months might give someone an idea of how to take him out of a game.

    • LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.  Mock drafts 
    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
