How many more years does Steve Smith have left in the tank?

what do you think? and who do you think will become our wide receivers of the future (someone on the current roster? some amazing draft prospect?)

and another question, do you think we will continue to be a run oriented team for the rest of the season, even though our two best are out??

I think Smitty has a few more years in the tank, but after this season he may want out of Carolina.

I think both Gettis and LaFell are good candidates for the future, but it's so early in the process that it's hard to tell at this point.

We will continue to be a run-oriented team as long as Fox is the HC.

Oh yeah, forgot to add he is 31 years old. How long do receivers usually play in the league? (or rather, to what age?)

I think Jerry Rice played till he was 40 and T.O is 36, but they weren't human. Id say the cut-off for a player with the caliber of Steve Smith would be 35, that's usually when injuries take place.

like 2 broken arms in 9 months followed by a high ankle sprain?

i know lots of people hate hearing this, but we need to trade him away while he still has value. trade him for a 3rd round pick and then package that pick up with another to get a much younger WR stud. i don't want to waste/spend/whatever more draft picks on rookie WRs. i want his spot to go to a younger more proven commodity.

Look carefully at this contract:

5/8/2007: Signed a six-year, $43.85 million contract. The deal included a $9.3 million signing bonus, a $6 million roster bonus in the second year, and a $2 million roster bonus in the third.

2010: $5.75 million

2011: $7 million

2012: $7.75 million

2013: Free Agent

See how backloaded this deal is? He's going from $5.75M a year to $7M a year, a $1.25M raise next season and another $.75M raise the following year. A $2M raise over the next 2 seasons when he's been in the $4-5M range for the last 3 seasons means he is a prime candidate to be a salary cut regardless of the new CBA, based solely upon his declining performance.

      I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
