walter's 2011 power rankings - Panthers aren't the worst!

He has us at 27th, and most of what he says is agreeable except:

They refused to trade DeAngelo Williams for a presumed Round 2 selection. And yet, they think they can get one for Steve Smith, who is done.

Ridiculous on two counts. To think we should let go of a first rounder who exceeded expectations for a second round pick, AND THEN to claim that Steve Smith is done?! whew, I hope for walter's sake Smitty doesn't catch wind of this. He's liable to catch a broke nose.

DeAngelo is worth at most a 2nd round pick.

I know Panther fans love DeAngelo, but the facts are simply that RB is the easiest position to replace and has the shortest shelf life. Combine that with the fact that DeAngelo is 28 continues to have consistent and nagging injuries and anyone should see why DeAngelo's trade value just isn't that high.

Doesn't matter anyways. I don't believe that players can be traded without the CBA and I know they can't be traded without being under contract.

You don't see a thing wrong with "Steve Smith is done"? Then you, sir, are in the wrong place.

and I'm not saying "WE CAN GET THREE FIRTSZ AND EIGHT SECONDSZES FOR DEANGELO!!!", I'm merely saying there's no way we SHOULD trade him for a second round pick. NO WAY. Worth WAY more to this team than a second round pick.

    • Goes to S.C., great athletic traits, raw in some aspects, yeah he’ll be a Panther for sure. 
    • Ive posted conspiracy theories about us being interested in him for months.  Hes an elite physical specimen with elite intangibles.  Hes got to show an improvement passing and reading defenses this season though.  If he does he will be the #1 pick.
    • Narratives change real fast because of how fast information travels these days and the need to generate clicks.  People said the Panthers were a great place for him to land but just because it was said doesn't make it true.  Was that true?  Did we have an All-star staff?  Did we have a good front office?  Did we surround him with talent?  Could the defense carry the load?  You have to squirt really hard to think it was just a bad rookie QB stinking it up all by his lonesome.   Saying the worst football teams have bad QB's is just low handing fruit.  It's the easiest thing to grab onto.  It could also be teams that have a bad coaching staff or no talent to surrounding the QB or a horrible front office.  It can also be a horrible QB.  To this day I think that T-Law going to the Jags might have ruined his career because of Urban Meyer.  I don't agree at all that Bryce's only good game of his entire career was against the Falcons.   Week 16 against the Cards (which is one of those last 3 games we mentioned) 36-30 OT win.  Threw 3 TD's Week 12 against KC 30-27 loss but Bryce went 24 of 35 for 263 yrds.  It was Mahomes magic that got us. Week 10 against the Bucs 298 yards in a close game with a passing TD and a running TD. We even had those flashes of what he could be in 2023 against the Packers, the 95-yard game winning drive vs the Falcons, or how he outplayed CJ Shroud with the win over the Texans. Especially in this respect you're not being truthful.
