True, but I think Rivera will have Smith more under control than Fox did. Smith was Fox's boy but I dont think Rivera will take that s**t if Smith stays.

yeah, but Smitty needs a coach that will let him basically be Steve....otherwise you just have a timebomb. Steve has always been a timebomb though that has gone off every few years.

I wouldnt take a WR #1. Move down a few spots, pick up at least a 2nd this year then take him.

doubtful any team is gonna give up a 2nd to move up 3 or 4 spots with us....the top of this class just ain't strong. They would basically be a team trading up into where you don't want to be from where you want to be.

there is a risk also of trading down. trade down for player X and he might not be there.

If he wants out, trade him...dont need the drama. If he wants to stay and work keep him. /story

Rivera doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who'll hang on to a player who doesn't want to be here just to "prove his manhood". He seems like more of a "you're not part of the program, so get lost" type.

We don't really know what his impression of Smith is, but if it's a bad one I don't think he'd hesitate.

Agree, I don't think Rivera has any interest in bad apples... I think he would trade Smith and move on if he thought Smith was going to be trouble.

I agree 100% and I feel he has looked at tape and not seen a guy give 100% in awhile. I would presume Smith flat told him he wants out and have a chance to play for an immediate contender and for what he has given us he should have that shot. Thing is in a year or so tops, depending on what moves are made, we will be back in contention.

I bet he is gone within a couple weeks of free agency whenever that happens.

I'm good either way. He'll always be considered one of the best players in the franchise's history.

If we get a vet to start, I can see him staying.

If we don't have a vet starter though, I don't want him around young qbs. I think he is toxic to young qbs. I know he wants to win, I think he deserves to win. I think on another team, with the right make-up of veteran players, he could go back to having a good time on the field and dominating.

I can easily see that if a CBA is done before the draft, we trade Smith and draft Green.

The trip to see Green makes no sense unless we are figuring to be Smithless. Or we plan on trading down...or both. I have thought this for a while. What is the least you would take for SS? I hear NE, and I would love the 33rd pick back, but the Pats 2nd (60th overall) is about right.

I know others want more, but he is not bringing more.

If he's traded, they'd likely want it to be to an AFC team. Also might want to look west to put Smith back closer to his hometown (unless he'd rather continue to live in Charlotte for his kids sake).

Yes, that raises the possibility of trading him to Fox and the Broncos, but I don't know that they have as much receiver need as other teams in the AFC West (like the Chiefs).

Chargers could conceivably be an option, but I'm not sure I buy that.

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
