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.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      LOL! We have ourselves a funny one over here.

      Would you trade Derrick Brown to get a top QB prospect?

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      That’s why I love Jake and always will.  He was so fuging gritty and definitely was a gunslinger.  Like a not-quite-poor-man’s Brett Favre.  Like an economy version lol.  He was damn good.  Yeah, he’d throw a pick here or there, but more often than not, I trusted Jake.  He’d make some throws that really made you think, “damn, he’s even better than I thought.”  I loved that he loved to gamble, but more importantly, he gave his guys a fuging chance to make a play.  When people have been criticizing Tet for drops, it pisses me off, because they say it like these are some gimmes that he’s dropping.  but, at about 6’5”, if your whole body is moving one way and you have to stop or slow down to come back to a ball thrown behind you, or low, that poo is not easy.  Bryce isn’t really giving him a chance, and I can see why he’s dropping them.  Versus if you look at this highlight reel of Moose: at about halfway through is when Jake stepped in.  The passes he was throwing are CRAZY.  There’s multiple passes in there where he is throwing across his body while running the opposite way - and he still had the strength to get it on target.  Then there’s the throws where he lasers it in a spot only the receiver could get it - seam routes, out routes, over the top. The longer you watch, the more obvious it is that so many of these (what should be basic) throws are completely absent from our offense with Bryce.  There was a play today where he started to scramble, kept looking, looking, looking, then just threw it into the ground near the receiver.  Let them make a fuging play.  His best pass of the day?  The long one to Tet?  If you re-watch it. About 10-15 yards further downfield, XL smoked his man on a post route.  You get maybe 3 chances at that a game usually, and when you don’t even attempt it when it’s there?  That poo is so demoralizing.  I can’t wait for Bryce’s time here to be fuging over.  If they cut him tomorrow I would feel free.  I would feel like I just won the fuging powerball.  If they signed Heineke, Perkins, White, PJ Walker, or Hooker to start the rest of the year, I would be fuging ecstatic like we just trotted Cam out for the first time.  That how fuging life-sucking Bryce is as the QB.

      A historical perspective on just how statistically bad Bryce Young as a passer this season.

      Aren't they about the same size too? Why TF are teams all of sudden drafting these small ass QBs that have an EXTREMELY low hit rate at an already extremely low hit rate position?
