Steve Smith: A Slot Receiver In 2012?


Recommended Posts

With Chud at the helm, I am not going to even try and guess what he will come up with as regards to utilizing Smitty. Which just gets me that more excited. As long as Chud is around, we are going to be one exciting team to watch.

I have a feeling Chud won't be around much longer, if he has as much success as he did last year. A team is gonna offer him a HC job.

Chud will be gone less than 8 months from now. Mark it and hope that the Panthers organization can decipher what he has in that playbook.

So Chud will be gone before the season even ends? Wow, that is bold.

It is not the deciphering of the playbook. It is the ability to call one play that leads to the next. Which in turns leads to a play down the line. It is having the balls to call a play no one else even thought of. It is the imagination to use your talent to there fullest. It is the flexibilty to think outside the box, and have it translate to the field.

It is not the playbook we loose with Chud. It is his innate abiltiy to put imagination into reality. That is what we loose when Chud leaves. He has a first class mind, which on its own is impressive. But, the ability to transfer thought into reality is a rare gift. We best enjoy it while it lasts.

The anti Monkey hit. We ain't your steppin stone. Let it ring loud. Let ring from the mountains to the ocean. Leave our Chud alone.

Anyone who seriously believes Chud will get tagged for a HC job is seriously unaware of how the head coach process is done. There's only 32 jobs to go around, with several of them available each year, and only one or two would consider someone without head coaching experience at any level of football.

Also, as much as I'm glad Chud is here, he's not really head coach material, because his media savvy is almost non-existent, and a head coach has to be a full-time face of the franchise. Everything I've heard about his interviews said that teams liked him, but really only as an OC.

Nah, I think Smitty will still line up wide. He can stretch the field better than Gettis and can dominate the sideline and plant his toes better than Lafell. I think David will start off in the slot and might be able to overtake Brandon for the #2 spot if he balls.

I can't remember where I read it, but last year at training camp I remember some talk that Gettis showed up faster than Smitty. I know playing on the outside requires more than straight line speed, but I think with his height, Gettis might be able to relieve Smith on the outside in certain situations. All this assuming Gettis is fully recovered, and studied up on the playbook.

    • lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

    • Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
