It's all BS anyway. I remember a couple of my Bronco fan friends getting mad for Ryan Clady hurting his Patella in Basketball earlier in the offseason.

I mean who is anybody to tell an athlete that they cant play anything in the offseason

The Panthers own him. They can tell him what to do and what not to do. We think of players only being players 6 months out of the year, but his employers see it as all year long. If this had happened in April, it probably wouldn't have been that big a deal.

They don't own him; this is not slavery (RACISTTTT). He is an employee and as a person he can do whatever the hell he wants. The company can't necessarily tell him what to do with his free time, either. They can set guidelines, they can even put stipulations if he gets hurt while not at work, they can remove him. However, they cannot force him to do anything. This is America, not Soviet Russia.

I guess that depends on what the language of the contract he signed states.

Was he out there without the knowledge of the team, or did he have permission to attend and participate this event?

Smitty's broken arm is probably the least of my concern for this team. We need him, but he's gonna be back and ready to rock.

If nothing else, I see this as more reps for our underdeveloped wide receivers.

Smith took a small gamble and now he is paying for it. I don't know if any NFL wide receiver is ever going to go with the conservative "better safe than sorry" rule especially concerning football.

Anybody that is going to rag on him for not honoring his contract has every reason to. He shouldn't have done it. I'm not even going to try to defend him. He's walking a very fine line in his responses too. Basically saying he's sorry but he still doesn't really care about the rules in his contract.

This is just another one of those issues you just kind of brush off.

The same competitiveness that makes him break his arm playing flag football is the same competitiveness that makes him break his arm and still waltz into the end zone talking smack to giants fans.

The same passion that makes him punch people in the face(twice) is the same passion that can cause him to break his hip and come back to win the triple crown a year later.

Take the good with the bad. So far he's well into the black.

im just going to assume somebody will throw the race thing into every thread.

I hope you realize it is all for fun. I don't think there have been any serious posts about racism since that thread... and I don't think there need to be after about 500 serious posts about it.

      NextGen Passing Chart - Week 3

      By panthers55 · Posted

      I was here the past two weeks while you dominated every thread with constant complaining. I decided I wasn't going to try even posting with all that negative crap. All of you would  have found great amusement in trying to attack anyone with a more reasoned  positive approach. So I waited until now to come here to celebrate a win. Not to champion Bryce. It was only after you and others make negative comments despite the huge win that I commented. I am a Panther fan not a Bryce fan or Bruce hater. I will support him as long as he is a Panther. After that he is largely dead to me. But again won't go back and forth. I have nothing to defend and just going to enjoy the win.

      Bar is on the floor boss.  And he remains way too inaccurate even in the most conservative asks of a gameplan.

      Josh Allen is a playmaker and the closet thing to Cam Newton the league has seen.  So yeah, Bryce isn’t…..just like Josh Allen  Buffalo does not have better personnel than us across the board on offense.  Their leading WR last year was freaking Shakir followed by a disappointing rookie season by rookie WR.  We had the most expensive OL in the NFL last year.  A rock solid backfield.  With comparable WR talent.  If give them a clear TE edge but it’s a wash given out OL investment.  what they do have is a QB that makes everyone human in the field around him better.
