There are rumors that the Panthers are shopping Steve Smith

[R0CKnR0LLA]

I would be down for trading Smitty for a good amount of draft picks or a young #1 WR (Vincent Jackson). But for Haynesworth? F**k no, that'd just be stupid. Any DT isn't going to make a big enough impact to make up for the monumental mess what would be our passing game without Smitty.

At least if you get a young WR or picks you can replace him and that works within the rebuilding process because whoever you had would be much younger and would end up contributing more in the long run.

Honestly, I wouldn't mind seeing Gross on the block either but the way he's been playing lately his value is probably garbage compared to his 2008 pro bowl season.

Not like any of this is going to happen though.

Yep. There would no fans in the stands if Smitty left. Bad move by JR.

You guys are fug!ng nuts if you think we're going to trade SS for Haynesworth, or anyone for that matter. 89's has more value to us than any other team. Who's going to mentor our 13 year old WR's? Who's going to pose an actual threat

to opposing defenses? If 89 goes, it will be next year when our new coach, not lame duck Fox, decides he doesn't fit his system.

Wellp Correct me if i'm wrong, I thought Smith hasn't truly mentored anybody? "left it up to themselves, coaching"? kind of thing? I say do it. He's definately got alotta years ahead of him, But I think we can build a strong WR corps in FA or the draft, nearly as good.

I'd rather keep him.. Of course, but damn..

I don't know, WR is already fugin lousy.

Steve Smith is heart and soul of this franchise. I know he isn't the leader he should be and I know saying this goes against the whole " no one is above the team" talk but Smith is special. We are a young franchise and Smith is our first real break through HOF caliber talent. He has a history here and he is in the hearts of the fans. If true, and this is a move by the FO then they can go to hell. If Smith is asking for it then that is a different story.

[Mr. Scot]

It's not happening.

It doesn't really even qualify as a rumor.

Someone misinterpreted Tom Sorenson's speculation on a message board and some other guys ran with it.

There is nothing whatsoever to it. Nada. Zippo. Niente. Zero :rolleyes5:

[blackcat]

Thank you Mr. Scot.

[replive]

people will still ignore mr scot's post and keep ranting about this though. seems to be the way of the board

[rayzor]

but some guy on a redskins message board said "shhhhhh"!

what else could it mean?

[Swedish Butt-Whistle]

I think this thread should turn into "if steve smith took you shopping, what would you buy"

Probably :sosp:

I like that idea, if Smitty took me shopping he would get me one of these....
