I'm dumbfounded. Being a huge Peppers fan, I find this hard to digest. Peppers is a beast and there is nothing better than home grown talent. Don't get me wrong, Smitty has really been the face or our organization and a great asset. Oh hell with it, I can't pick between them.

but his body of work is better than smitty....who would you rather have on your team right now?

Everybody is aware of that. It's not comparing the players it's comparing the draft picks. Smitty is a 3rd rounder so he is seen as a greater achievement. Peppers is supposed to be brilliant, he was draft #2 overall. Smitty was just going to be a return man and slot receiver.

I'd have to agree. And in my opinion, Smitty should go down as the all time greatest panther and he deserves a statue right next to our other undersized overachiever.

You lost me at being a Peppers fan.

Smith was a far better choice.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By Navy_football · Posted

      It appears that he sees things differently than the QB and OC, so Cam's advice is spot on. It isn't about number of targets, it's about quality of targets. Trust and being on the same page. BY doesn't know how to anticipate what XL is doing. And XL doesn't like where BY is placing passes. One on one film study would go a long way. More for BY than XL though. He has to adjust to XL. I really don't think XL can adjust on the fly.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      If the team shows improvement, then he shouldn't be in danger of losing his job - even if the record doesn't reflect. This was a very young team (with a lot of new vet starters) that overperformed last season. Somebody's doing something right. Consistency is key with so much youth. And we're potentially looking at new starters at ILB and FS. Those are positions that take time to fully understand the defense. ILB calls the front 7. Safety calls the back 4. Injuries at WR and IOL killed the offense last season. Depth needs to be upgraded. Same with Edge. I think they would have won more games if Pat Jones doesn't go down early. Be smart with the roster and draft. Trade players for assets when it's time to pay them more than they're worth - yes, that includes BY if he doesn't make a pretty big jump. That's one of the many reasons Tillis is as important as anyone to the future of this team.
