Did everyone forget JACKSON wants out of SD? I don't care if the guy is in his prime. He isn't happy their.

Other than rumor as Smitty publically say he wanted out, that he didn't want to be around Cam? or Clausen? Too many well, someone said, his wife's sisters husband said Smitty wanted out, his home on the market...blah blah blah.

Personally I hope he stays. He is no closer to the Super Bowl with the SD Chokers than he is with the Panthers.

All this said.... IF we were to trade him to SD for VJ... I would say straight up. I definitely don't think we should give him away. If we don't get a good offer than I have no doubt he will suit up and play with JC or Newton.

Smith told Steve Reed he wanted to be traded and listed two teams.

This isn't a rumor, it's a well documented fact.

What I do not fully understand is the emotional attachment to Smitty. First, that is the same thing that Hurney and Fox had for Jake, signing him to a big contract when he was done. Smitty is the greatest Panther to ever wear the black and blue, but he has always been a cancer off the field. You do not know how his antics impacted the team.

I watch OTAs, and Smitty has fire and intensity in June. Kasay is the only player who voluntarily talks to him. He is a loner on the team. When you punch teammates, that is what happens.

This is a business, and Smitty's best days are behind him. Speed WRs hit the wall at his age, almost like a RB. He is earning a #1 WR salary and he is now a slot WR. THere are too many practical reasons to let him go. With Kealoha Pilares now on the roster, Smitty is gone, IMO because Smitty needs to move inside to the slot to stay effective. That would give us 3 slot WRs, and we have not given up on Armanti Edwards.

Thanks for the many memories, some great, some emabarassing. If we can get a third rounder for him, do it. Then use the $7-8 million per we save to sign a veteran #1 WR.

I imagine Rivera had his fill of Jackson's mess in SD. We are getting Cam, a QB with baggage, but I am starting to think that stuff is way behind him. We are getting Hogan, a CB with baggage. We will be losing Smith, a WR with baggage. We are a football team, not the cargo handlers at Charlotte Douglas.

Its hard to find something that simply do not exist. He wants out that seems like a given but he have not said it out loud yet.

** I reported months ago that Smith has asked team officials for a trade (I’m told he wants to play for Baltimore or San Diego). I imagine the team will work to accomodate him, but the bottom line is the Panthers aren’t going to give him away either. They’re going to want some compensation.

Yeah, this definitely doesn't fugging exist. I made it up strictly for conjecture and entertainment purposes.

      You don’t even need 1b because Tepper is the only one foolish enough to wheel that deal.    Player wise? Jake’s elbow. JR and Pep getting sideways, no Carruth, Cam’s shoulder, Luke’s concussions, it would be a long list of stuff. You can take it down to certain plays in games. Fox chasing 2 point conversions in the SB would be on my list. RMJr slipping at the end of that same game was not helpful.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Ultimately this just amounts to heavy revisionist history. I mean you aren't talking to someone that just popped out the womb a week ago. I was here all throughout the predraft process. The overwhelming majority of the fanbase felt like this was a fine situation and the best situation for a rookie QB to go to compared to Houston for example. The hype for Young and our "rockstar" staff was off the charts. No one could dare speak cautious skepticism of his abilities or they would be neg repped into oblivion. Only after he had one of statistical worst rookie seasons of the last 25 years did we get this narrative now that his rookie season actually shouldn't count. Complete malarkey if you ask me.

      On the field? Since I guess it qualifies as multiple instances it might not count, but have the damn refs throw some flags on illegal hits to Cam's head in SB50. If that doesn't count, 1A. Cotchery caught it 1B. Kasey keeps that kickoff inbounds. Off the field? 1A. Team is sold to anyone but Tepper 1B. We have the patience not to mortgage the franchise on that Bryce trade. Stroudwpuldve been the better pick but he's not worth it either.
