When we were talking about which player was the premier icon, i guess a year or two ago this poll was posted, the most valuable player for the Panthers, it was between Steve Smith and Julius Peppers. A lot of people voted for either, I voted for Smith, and people said Julius was more important.

Well, fast forward, Smitty signs a contract extension to keep him here, and Peppers wants to take his ball and go elsewhere. And A LOT of that was based on Smitty's character compared to Peppers. Many thought Peppers was the one who would stay a career Panther, but I guess that's not going to happen.

Turns out, at least IMO, Smitty's character is what compelled him to stay here. He is passionate about what he believes in, and for every one time he puts you down, he will pick you up 1000 times. As much as we all bashed Delhomme for his performance (5 interceptions, 1 fumble, yes our grumblings are justified BTW) he was right there to pick Delhomme back up when he was in a bad spot on the sideline, telling him he's his guy no matter what. That's a teammate, and I'd rather have 22 starters who have the same mindset as Smith than 22 starters who have the same mindset as Peppers.

So let me take this chance to honor my favorite all-time Panther, Smitty.

      BREAKING: Panthers signing a new QB

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      That's true. I did actually mean the FO but that's a fair point.

      A guy like Jones at average pay is going to not work out IMO. The 20 million difference to spend elsewhere is too large of a hurdle when the QB plays good but not carry the team good. They are in the sweet spot currently at cost to value with him. Darnold is pretty much the same. Good in a limited role but lean on him and he will fold. Tua didn't beat good teams when it had to be on his back to be the difference, and that was true when his team was stacked. All of Murray's talent has resulted in 1 winning season for them and 1 wildcard loss. The NFL has an overpaying mediocre QB issue. At the right price it's not an issue but can be a positive. It inevitably leads to a worse roster which becomes a poo show. NY gave up their RB because they paid Jones and proved that. The first is most likely leading to the second. Baker is bucking that trend but he was always the best of any of that group, even if his time here was pretty much the worst setup possible.

      Bills predictions

      If you only factor passing, there is a VERY mild argument Dalton is more efficient but it's ignoring the threat Cam was as a big play literally every snap. With his feet OR through the air. Dalton was never that type of player. I would say Dalton over 200 is a very safe bet.
