Panthers claim LB Kelvin Smith off waivers

Didn't see another thread on this, so here goes the tweet:

Lot of moving parts. RT: @RavensInsider: Panthers awarded LB Kelvin Smith off waivers from Cowboys. Pats also put in a claim, per a source.

I don't know the guy. Do we need another LB?

In a related note, I don't like this Mike Reiss guy. I've been reading a lot of his tweets (from the ESPN tweet tracker) since FA opened up and he's annoying.

Yeah, this makes sense. Why keep linebacker: Nic Harris who gave everything he had to be on this team, and actually contributed when we can sign linebacker: Kelvin Smith, who has one career tackle.

Make's sense... :confused:

At least out of all the linebackers we have; Jon Beason, Thomas Davis, James Anderson, Dan Connor, Omar Gaither, Jordan Senn, Jason Williams, and Lawrence Wilson can all contribute.

On the other hand; Kelvin Smith, Sean Ware, and Thomas Williams are garbage.

I think they may want to trade Connor. No way with the money we're spending can we afford to keep him next year. He wants to start sooner than later and it won't be here. If Davis goes down we aren't going to move Beason over again.

Connor has little value to us and a lot of value to another NFL team. We should trade him if that's what best.

    • Blowout incoming and the wheels fall off. Parsons will have multiple sacks, prob a FF. Media immediately starts saying the Bryce era is over 
    • It's worth noting that we started playing something that looked like football after going down 17-0 against the Dolphins.  Up to that point we had rushed the ball 3 times and Bryce had two turnovers.   Then we ran it 5 straight times with Rico and he started cracking off some big gains and led to our first touchdown.  Another 37 yards of rushing later, Bryce goes 1 yard complete, incomplete, incomplete to get that field goal before halftime.  Then we committed big time to the run in the second half and played some really nice complimentary football.  The Panthers had stumbled on a formula, and it started with Rico being crazy productive.  Something they only learned because Chubba was injured and Bryce started that game so poorly they were forced to lean on Rico. Fast foward to Dallas, they essentially lean into the same game plan against the Cowboys and I think everyone was surprised by how quickly it started to look complimentary.  In my opinion the productive offense really helped the defense as well.  We played quite solid against a top offense. Finally we make our way to the Jets and Bills, Chubba's return.  You can't say the low scoring affair and return to ineffective football against the Jets was all on Chubba, they were indeed a better defense and so was Buffalo.  But the production difference between the two backs in both games was both visually and statistically obvious.  The bigger picture is the offense took a major step back as well.  They are other moving parts and it's isn't all one thing, BY9>Dalton by a decent margin at this point.   But yeah, Rico's vision and athleticism is just better than Chubba and it jumps at you.
