Smith not too impressed with Panthers’ receivers

“Then when we watched film and we went over plays, they were showing examples of the things that I did last year. It kind of helps get a little credibility with those guys,” Smith said. “Whether they want to hear it or not, they get in the game and all of sudden things change and they’re getting smashed up side the head.

“Then they’ll come to me and I’ll kind of give them their space and I’m like, ‘What do I know?”’

Wonder who these guys are

I noticed in the Tenn game he didn't talk to any of the other receivers to offer any help or advice. The only people he hung out with were D-Will and Goodson after he scored. Maybe our young WRs would do better if he acted like a seasoned veteran instead of a whining about who hasn't kissed his ass this week.

I'd be feed up and pissed if I were Smith. Get the guys some legitimate help. It's ridiculous.

Just cause he may be pissed at the coaches, that doesnt mean he has to hang the rookies out to dry. If he wants respect maybe he shouldn't act like such a little bitch. And people still think he should be captain? lol To be a leader you got to act like one first.

I'm wondering the same thing.

Smith isn't really saying anything shocking. Those guys look like #3s at best right now. Even with Smith out there, I think these guys would be exposed sooner or later. Smith really needs to offer as much help as he can instead of waiting for the rookies to kiss his ass.

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
