Smitty to pats?

I love Smitty but if this happened it wouldn't be a bad thing. We would have the #1 pick and the 33rd pick that everyone has been bitching about. At this point I think Steve deserves a chance to win a championship and he doesn't have too many years left. If he has a horrible year people are gonna be complaining that we didn't take the pats up on their offer. In retrospect I would've much rather taken the 2nd round pick the pats offered for Peppers instead of paying him $1 million per game.

Not so fast.

Pats have more than one 2nd round pick.

What makes you think they qould give us the #33 overall?

no chance Smitty gets us a 2nd rounder. this isn't Madden, we'd be VERY lucky to get a 3rd rounder. realistically we'd get a 4th rounder.

with that said, the thought of Brady to Smith scares me. we'd basically be trading them a trip to the super bowl.

I still think we should keep him though, unless he starts openly demanding a trade. The return just isn't worth it.

Ugh... I know he isn't happy...

But the Pats? Seriously? ANYONE BUT THE DAMN PATS SMITTY!!!

If Smitty absolutely HAD to be traded, I'd like to see him in a Chargers uniform.

He'd have the opportunity to shatter records with Rivers throwing him the ball.

The Pats might get Torrey Smith or Titus Young so I wouldn't if I were them. Then again if they had wanted a receiver they could have kept Moss, traded for V-Jax last year or sign Ocho etc this year. I don't think Bill values the position much. He probably thinks streak route speedsters are easy to acquire.

The Vikings got Randy Moss, for peanuts (4th), anyone who thinks New England would waste that high of a pick on a I hate to say this...old receiver? Umm, no.

They just plug guys in, in their spread system, got guys like Woodhead, and Welker killing underneath. Hell they even resurrected Deion Branch's career. This won't happen.

Conventional wisdom says keep Smith, this team has few holes and is just two seasons removed from the playoffs. All we lost were aging vets, and an overpaid avg QB. Carolina has the pieces/coaching staff to make the playoffs, consistent QB play and a healthy O-Line to me are the biggest areas where we need to improve.

With the addition of a vertical passing game aimed at getting all the WR's involved, as well as utilizing the TE I look for our offense to take a nice step forward in 2011. I don't think we lose anyone in free agency.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By Icege · Posted

      I really appreciate Bill explaining his methodology here because that gives interested parties a chance to try and recreate the results themselves. I believe that it's safe to assume that despite emphasis being placed on WRs that Chuba Hubbard is one of the Panthers' top-5 weapons. Considering targets, yardage, receptions, etc... Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette are also on the list. Jalen Coker's success might have snuck him in there as well. I can't draw a conclusion on who #5 is though. I've narrowed it down to Diontae Johnson, David Moore, Ja'Tavion Sanders, and possibly Rico Dowdle if they're taking into account his production for the Cowboys in 2024.

      Unfortunately business is business especially when there are large sums of money on the table. Goes the same for player and ownership. Does not make it right either way.  Why would he not want to play for the niners? Closer to home with a team that has a chance of delivering a SB trophy.

      Orlov Complaining About Time W/Hurricanes

      I don’t know if it’s him bad mouthing his former situation in public or my pettiness but either way I’m not a fan. Dude was on playoff teams getting paid millions to entertain. I’m not better that because and I am better than that. You don’t bad mouth your former employer in public. Esp after getting over paid and two, poor little Russian baby didn’t get the playing spot he wanted. Rod had him exactly where is was supposed to be.  He had a mean lip check and did defend our players. Specifically the devils game around Christmas where is our Haula on his ass. Cool. Thank you. But don’t talk poo about us. Because it make you look like Haula.    “need to get as far away as possible”. fug off. Didn’t see Burnsy bad mouthing and his play dropped off too.    sorry, but Orlov doesn’t get a pass from me. See you twice a year…
