it's definitely something any trade partners are going to consider

true, and it's only going to get worse. the sooner we move him, the better off we are. value isn't ever going to be higher than it is right now.

The chargers passing attack has never had a steve smith.

They use big receivers that are no faster than gettis and lafell.

Big receivers with good hands, good body control, a dominating TE, and a running game.

I'm not say we will be a clone of the chargers offense (even though others believe we will), we don't have to have steve smith. I do think we should retain him though.

Even when steve smith is gone, the panthers aren't going togo find another steve smith. They'll find another big receiver with good body control, good hands, fast enough to be a deep threat.

Bottom line guys, everything surrounding Cam must be perfect for us to judge him fairly, even if Moore and Clausen were not afforded that same luxury.

If it's too windy out (excuse has been used here), we should give him a pass no matter what his play looks like.

Everything was Clausen and Moore's fault, nothing will be Cams.

Get used to it.

I think it would be foolish not to take advantage of what could be a very good FA pool.

When i look at the list of FA's a couple guys i think would help us are.

Jacoby Jones- Has played in the shadow of AJ but could step out.

James Jones- No relation. GB knows WR's. JJ could become a number 1 WR.

Malcom Floyd- VJax is more of a priority and the Chargers could be satisfied with a trade. Ding ding. Smith and Dan Connor for Floyd.

lol I hope that trade proposal of Steve Smith and Dan Connor for Floyd was just a joke.

Actually I really like all the guys we have at WR. I think LaFell and Gettis will both be main targets for us eventually. Pilares seems like an all around solid player. I'm really eager to see what AE can bring to the table. He is so quick and fast, if he could hone his skills as a WR he could be a very dangerous player.

Honestly, I hope Gettis, and LaFell (and the huge question mark that is Edwards) kind of gel into a larger threat, with neither of them really becoming the #1.

I'm hoping that all of these guys grow into threats that won't allow defenses to single out a single guy for their top corner or double teams. Truth is, I'd rather have 2 or 3 guys that are all capable, if not above average players, than have 1 superstar and not much else.

I say all this assuming we do not have Steve Smith for the 2011 season, which is not something we can really even make educated guesses on at this point.

I like you. Couldn't have said it better. I just wonder what all the cam supporters will do or say if he doesn't produce and they start him from game one? Will they cry out and say he needs another year? That rookie seasons can't be used to measure Newton? I mean that want done to Clausen right? All that was needed was 10 games? Next year should be fun. If newton flat out fails people will have excuses ready. Which I don't believe is fair. People should be just as hard on newton as they were on Clausen.

The fans weren't hard on Moore or Clausen. The front office was. They have given up on those two and moved on. Probably for good reason as they know them better than any of us could.

Well I'm talking with experience, I attended two games last year. The Niners and cardinals game. People in the stands were crucifying Moore and Clausen. Berry other word I hard was that of a fan that was being harsh. All I'm saying is that this fan base is quick to give up. QBs need at least two years. Look at freeman. If the buccs gave up on him the first season, and drafted another QB where would they be? I realize that its hard to determine where they would be but I'm willing to say they'd still be searching for that franchise QB. If newton fails and we draft yet another QB I'm calling for Hurneys head..

      Isaiah Simmons: "A riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma"

      I agree.  Some situations are all we should ask--shadow the qb (someone suggested that) or cover a TE, or blitz from the big nickel position.  Forget S, edge, CB,LB--

      Isaiah Simmons: "A riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma"

      I work with social emotional learning and I don't know why a player with all the tools (to Snow's point) sucks when he was a top 10 player in college.  It is not talent, and it is usually not due to some learning disability-.  It comes down to dispositions or emotions in a lot of cases. The reason I pointed out Simmons in particular is because he was drafted to be a DC's new weapon.  I have friends who played in the NFL and they talk about the amount they throw at you--and those were guys who played 1 position.  Simmons shows his ability on special teams--where you are a bit more turned loose than scripted or forced to read blocking schemes or pass routes, etc.  See ball, get ball.  Simmons has been tried at CB, nickel, S , LB edge and he has had 5 different coordinators if you do not count the STs guy.  This would overwhelm most people.  Nobody knows what it does to your confidence and motivation to go from the best player on your team and a top college player to getting cut.   I just think that players like this can be saved.  To say, "He just isn't good" is not to answer the question, "Why was this not noticed during the interviews?  game film?  Combine?  References?  etc.  No, there has to be something more to it than that.  I think Isaiah needs one job and that job should be aligned with a strength.  If he fails then, fine.  Maybe he lost his mojo.  Maybe he never had it.  But to understand what he has been through is to give the guy the benefit of the doubt.  If you played in high school, you got a happy meal version of what it is like in college.  College was an appetizer when compared to pros.  We shall see.  But I am more optimistic about Simmons than I am XL.  Simmons was asked to things most NFL players cannot do.  XL just needs to catch the damn ball in bounds.   Middle schoolers do it every day.

      This was a super interesting analysis....and I will say I dont think it prevents us from looking at Safety in the draft. IF Ransom takes a step up and outplays Moehrig, there is an out for them after the year as a potential cap cut.  EVEN if not, if you are right and Simmons shows some promise as a Big nickel and Moehrig gets  injured and Ransom looks good (or even if Moehrig looks bad) I could see him being a cap casualty in 2027 as long as we feel we have enough talent there as starting potential.  Lotta football to play and Lotta injuries to happen.  Im hopeful because his measurables are through the roof, but unless they translate you still gotta go with what you got.
