Rivers likes idea of Smith to San Diego...

Panthers wideout Steve Smith is from the Los Angeles area, and would reportedly love to play close to home again. The Chargers are reportedly at least somewhat interested.

Consider Philip Rivers one of those interested Chargers.

“Bring it on,” Rivers said with a laugh when asked about Smith on Jim Rome is Burning Wednesday. “We have a great deal of weapons, and I certainly appreciate each and every one of them, but any chance you can add a guy of that caliber, I’m all for it.”

Smith has been self centered, and only cares about himself. He IS the leader of this team and yet Gross and Wharton are organizing workouts?

I've always had respect for Smith but that just pissed me off. I've heard no sight of him at the workouts.

So whatever, time to let it go, let it be, Carolina has always welcomed him with open hands, and what does he do? Basically give us and his teammates the finger.

can't agree with that at all.. he was one of few I actually ever saw pumping Clausen up before games.

you, and other people, seem to focus on the few things Smitty could have done right rather than all the good he has contributed..

by no means has he been the perfect role model, but even so, in his times of fuging up, he's always manned up and admitted he was wrong. hard to say that about anyone, much less football players of his stature..

also, with that said, I hardly find him not participating in these workouts as anything but trivial.

    • no doubt but flip that.   The current system insures that there are "regional" games in the early weeks. maximizing the reach of playoff football.  If all of the WC weekend for a conference took place on the west coast they are reducing the "reach" of their hype machine.
    • Hard to say with London--he never ran--combine or pro day.  Here is what AI says, and it is always 100% accurate: Drake London's 40-yard dash time at the NFL Combine was not recorded because he was dealing with a fractured ankle at the time. While he didn't participate in the 40 at the Combine or his pro day, his coach said his 40 time was estimated to be between 4.4 and 4.53 seconds. Some sources also list his 40 time at 4.58 and 4.6 seconds Unless you are running 9s all day, top end 40 speed is rarely reached.  I have always looked at the 3-cone drill.  At his pro day, TMac ran a 6.86--pretty good, actually.  For context, it is faster that Rome Odunze (6.88) who ran a 4.45 40.  Odunze is 6'3" and weighs 216, fwiw, and is considered a very good route runner with no wasted motion.  Mike Evans 3-cone was 7.08.  To put it in a broader context, through 2022, with all NFL prospect 3-cone drills combined, a 6.86 puts TMac in the.89th percentile-  Now consider the fact that he is 6'4" and 220.   We might have something here.  '
