Panthers on Television...A&E???? WTF. Slanderous.

Anyone else watch the show on A&E called "City Confidential". It's a murder mystery show.

Well for those who don't watch it, I'll explain about the show first and then give you the Panthers connection.

The show starts off by talking about a particular city, in this case the city was Charlotte. It mentions lots of good and nice things about the city such as the banking industry in Charlotte. It then gives you somewhat of a cliff hanger and goes to commercial. Upon returning to the show from commercial break, it starts telling a story about the murder that took place.

So, I'm watching it last night about Charlotte. It stated that an NFL "star" was linked to a murder back in 2003 and it shows a young Smitty standing on the line of scrimmage. No one else in the shot. I was like, holy poo, Smitty linked to murder, I learn something new every day. Well when the show came back from commercial, it started talking about Rae Carruth. I don't even remember hearing about this. Apparently he murdered his girlfriend or was connected to it in some fasion.

Anyway, I was wondering to myself if Smitty even knows he's in the video or gave his permission at all.

I have it on DVR and I'm going to try and figure a way to get the video onto my laptop so that I can share with you guys that haven't seen it. Anyone know how I can do this easily?

You've never heard of Rae Carruth?

Yes I know who Rae Carruth is but I never heard of a murder connection. I had to transplant to Cincinnati before Carolina even had a team so I kinda end up out of the loop on current events in Carolina. Luckily, I found this awesome forum a couple of years ago to keep me abreast. "A breast...I love that word".

89...oh that makes sense. Was he built like Smitty because this looked an awful lot like Smitty.

I need to watch it again and post it.

:banghead:

      I just mean it’s always offsetting in that situation.  I didn’t realize they called another penalty

      And as I asked this again before, what goes into PFF's man open %, as I know you've brought that stat up before. Is that just the number of routes he gets open at any point during the route, or is it calculated on targets and if he was open when the ball got to him. Because like I pointed out so many times in the lead up to the draft, a big reason it was harder for him to get separation against man was because he not only had his man on him, but he was double or triple teamed on the majority of his routes this past year.  Just because of that alone, it was easier for him to get open against zone coverage where he could find holes and sit in them. Also, again, as been discussed so many times, his QB's play this year was awful, and lots of times his contested catches were due to him not delivering the ball on time when T-Mac got open.  Or just times he got open but wasn't targeted for whatever reason. So just using that stat as a way to say he struggles to get open against man is more likely than not, disingenuous. Hell, it's a PFF stat that you're using against him, yet at the same time, PFF absolutely loves him, he was their 4th overall player.   I posted this clip on here a week or so ago of the T-Mac vs Hunter game in 2023, where the anti T-Mac guys like to say Hunter shut him down.  But numerous times in this video you see T-Mac create tons of separation from Hunter but the ball wasn't thrown his way, plus a clear PI that wasn't called (and the one that was). https://x.com/4MR_Fetti/status/1918262063660454227 The "he can't separate" narrative is way overblown and become something more myth than reality.  No, he's not an elite separator like some of the quick twitch WRs, but he's so much better than the haters here like to say.
