Probably doesn't know the playbook yet and/or Fox is using this to teach the young man that he must earn it here. I personally think Smith, Thomas, and Gettis could be potent. Throw in "Hands" Lafell and "the project" Edwards, the future at WR is bright.

I'm with you on Smitty, Gettis, and Thomas... But I don't find anything bright with LaFail. I still have high hopes for Edwards.

Yeah, I figured it might be the playbook but I asked Gantt about it because Clowney played his first week here, although Smitty was still injured. Gantt just tweeted that he believes Thomas is the most talented guy out of everyone other than Smitty, so it must be a comfort level thing.

Yeah DG just tweeted back and said the same thing I thought above - Clowney playing his first week here had more to do with Smitty's injury.

So really he's had 3 weeks in the offense now and Devin only 2, IIRC. I'm sure we'll see him next week, if not, we may have Rod Gardner 2.0.

Thomas is vet. Why the heck would he be inactive in place of Lafell thats dropping everything. I was expecting to see Smith, Thomas and Clowney. It's been two weeks, I'm sure that Thomas has learned enough plays to play in this simple offense we've been running. Yet instead, we keep a rook active thats got bricks for hands. And what about our TE's, I think that all three are active. We could've deactivated one and started another WR. Ohh may bad, I forgot about our simple offense or coaches.

      I think that looked much better on Bryce's part than tmacs.  He made a really good adjustment to the ball but his separation is what is always going to worry me, he had absolutely none with Jackson on that play, Bryce threw him open.

      I wouldn't be mad at it. I often call Luke "the best ILB that I've ever seen," and I've watched the game in earnest since I was nine, but I think there is more going on with Steve Smith---meaning it's political---than perhaps should be. I understand that he was not the nicest person---an asshole at times basically. People don't or didn't like him. That being said, he's still 8th all time in receiving yards, ahead of guys who have their gold jackets:   * Marvin Harrison (9th)  * Andre Johnson (11th)  * James Lofton (12th)  * Cris Carter (13th)   At some point, Smitty has to be inducted solely based upon the numbers (not to mention producing big results at his stature in a big man's game). I can see the snub early due to his temperament, but I hope it doesn't become a "thing," and I don't think Panthers fans, or NFL fans in general, should stay silent about it if it does.

      for those who can't see the Twitter post, I'm assuming this post is about the list published in February with Greg and TD?    https://sports.yahoo.com/10-great-nfl-players-eligible-035121461.html
