The fact Smith and Newton have become buddies tell me a lot.

Newton is serious about being great.

Smitty doesn't reach out to just any rookie like that.

Im getting unrealistic expectations now... :lol:

That's what I'm thinking as well. I don't remember Smitty reaching out to Clausen that much... ;)

I think you guys read a little too much into it. I don't think Smith hates Jimmy. I think he's a little more professional than that.

I just think Smith, like everyone else was disappointed when we found out that Jimmy was no where near the readiness we needed him to be. I don't believe Smitty would purposely be malicious to a 23 yr old kid who no doubt had a huge wake up call to the NFL.

This situation might be what Clausen needs really. I think he needs to feel like one of the guys more than anything. Maybe it's just my opinion but the whole team seems to be accepting of everyone this year. Ready to start a new and put last year behind us.

      Maxx Crosby is not happy

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I think the player matters a lot(in regards to price specifically). Parsons will likely end up being worth the price because he is unquestionably elite. Burns obviously hasn't been until this year because he isn't a consistently elite pass rusher. He is too easy to shut down with just a single blocker.  Guys like Parsons and Garrett that you have to plan your entire blocking scheme around make everyone on the defense better. Truth be told, that isn't Burns on his current line, it's Dexter Lawrence. But, as you pointed out, situations still matter. Joe Burrow may be a truly elite QB but that doesn't matter a lot when he can't stay healthy or the overall team isn't good. Ask Matt Stafford about that in Detroit.   The Panthers aren't in a position to be liquidating the extremely valuable draft picks we have. Our roster is still a bottom 5 overall NFL roster.

      I don't hate KK. The Canes overpaid and he's enjoying the benefits.  Anyone who assumed he was going to turn into an excellent player based on what the Canes paid him weren't paying attention. Sure, I wish he was much more physical, he's a big guy, and that's really all I was hoping for when he came to Carolina. Danault is better in the FO circle, better defensively and better down the middle, but it's a moot point now.
