The one thing I hate about sports is this "team first" mentality crap. A GM can cut a dude that has been with the team for 10 years if he gets hurt, and he did whats best for the team, but a FA (Pep for example) chooses to GTFO of a sinking ship, and he is a trader smh...

Smitty has been here a while, and imo, is a hall of famer. The best Carolina Panther ever, played with passion every single game, and never bitched or moaned (at least not in public). Sure, he has a big ass mouth, but what WR in 2010 doesn't? He has done everything we could have asked of him, and more. I want to see him win a ring, because nobody deserves it more...but thats not happening here. I heard the Packers made an offer...please, if a contender wants him, and they are giving us good value, make the deal. Its only fair to him.

the Packers did not make an offer on Smith, lol. Where do people get this poo? I mean, did someone really claim that happened? No offense intended.

Packers need a RB something fierce.

Smith shouldn't go anywhere, and we have no idea if he wants to.

YOu idiots missed my point. For once, the FO should put the player first, and try to do whats best for him. I bet if Smitty came out today and demanded a trade all of you would cry and bitch and moan about it, and call him a trader, but as soon as the FO cuts somebody, they did it for the team....

All I'm saying is give the guy a chance to win...

I don't like that "trade him to a team where he can win a ring" stuff. what if he's sent to a team that ends up like us? we did go from winning the NFC south to finishing the next 8-8 and missing the playoffs, and now this disaster of a season. the only thing that would accomplish is setting our team back years.

did anyone expect the Chiefs to play the way they're playing this season after being awful last season? the Dolphins went from winning one game to winning the AFC East and making the playoffs. the Packers were awful in Rodgers first season too.

you don't trade star players unless you have someone proven and waiting on the bench ready to start, which we obviously don't at wide receiver.

No, we understand completely what you're saying. But cutting Smith would make this horrible team even worse. What fan of this team would want that?

Every team would love to have him. With our incredibly young team I wouldn't be surprised if he is the leader of this team in the locker room. You can't trade that anymore than you can a corner stone. He is the foundation of this team who is under contract and has a reducing salary mind you. He is here for good. I hope he wins a ring

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By OldhamA · Posted

      I think you have to factor in that we're still not an attractive proposition for Head Coaches. You're not getting the cream of the crop if you fire Canales a year after winning the NFC South, especially considering the situation he walked into.

      Yeah, I was about to say I hope he's doing okay health-wise because he's not looking good in that pic.

      Honestly, I dont  think he should be on the hot seat yet. A bad start to next year, then yes. Despite our mistakes on play calling this past season, we played better than anticipated overall. Bryce showed improvement and maturity (although still not nowhere close to our expectations). Better record and 2-15 to 5-12 to 8-9. Despite what we feel the stats dont lie we are improving by 3 wins a year. Could 11-6 be our expectation. That's a high bar but at the rate we are going, thats what its looking like. We all want to see a 5-12 to a 13-4 record but we are methodically moving up. Success doesnt happen overnight (well in most cases).  IMO we are struggling mostly on the defensive end. LB and edge are our biggest weakness. I see Bryce making improvements (even though I was a Bryce hater) next year. Biggest concern is LT on offense. How to fix this? We need a big name edge or to trade up and get a big name edge or LB and pick up one in FA and draft one. Also if in the 3rd we can pick up a TE. Dont know if Sanders is the answer or Tremble (even though I love Trembles blocking and power after the catch). If these two can get their footwork together they would be great. Maybe all they need is a better TE coach. And if Brooks can stay healthy and be the back we thought he could be, man that would be great
