There are rumors that the Panthers are shopping Steve Smith

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. :lol:

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.

    • These are the three deep throw attempts that Will Levis made in week 12. His first one is a beauty; Levis and Westbrook-Ikhine gets the safety to bite on a deep dig only to go over the top for the score. His second throw is another beauty: a crosser to Calvin Ridley reminiscent of Bryce to XL (though Ridley has noticeably more separation on his route). His third and final deep shot was an incompletion from his own endzone on 3rd & 14 with pressure coming down on him (to me, this seems like a solid throw).   Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-02.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Levis took half of the deep shots that Young did. The differences are: Ridley had much better separation than XL, which is why his deep crosser turned into a 63yd play since he was able to scamper for another 15+ after the catch. Westbrook-Ikhine holds on to his TD pass. Bryce had to throw one away to preserve time for a field goal. Bryce had two more throws that were incomplete due to the WR Are we really holding the three WR errors and clock management decision against Bryce in order to say that Will was better throwing deep in week 12? That's not passing the eye test nor is it confirmed by the data.
    • If you go on the PUP list before the season starts, you are gone for the year. If you start the year on the PUP list then you can get off of it. Kind of semantics, but we are putting him on the PUP list now which is before week 1, that’s why people who come off of it aren’t really on the PUP list until week 1, hence you usually hear right before the season that they are “starting the year” on the PUP list. I think PUP list and IR may basically be the serve the same purpose now because you also sometimes hear that if a player is added to the IR before week 1 that they aren’t eligible to come off the IR list for the entire year. Now, everyone added to IR (post week 1) can come off after 4 (or more) games so the PUP list is meaningless since it’s 6 games and starts at week 1. Anyone added to PUP or IR in the preseason is gone for the year.
    • I saw Brooks maybe a few weeks ago, he was walking pretty normally. of course he wasnt running, jumping and cutting.
