From the tweets it sounds like our rookies Luke and Norman are really showing some skills. Gotta love a guy like Reed stating Newman is really holding his own against Smitty and that it is something rookies simply don't do against 89.

Theyre not going full speed, well 89 isnt anyways. He's not a spring chicken to be goin all out right now like some youngin thats trying to get recognized. Its nice to hear, its nice, dont get me wrong, but theres like 3 guys in the nfl that can hold their own against 89. . . and one of those 3 plays for us.

LOL you dont know Steve Smith then. Ask anyone and they will tell you Smith treats Practice like a real game. Plus he is not going to let a Rook school him willingly in any way, shape, or form.

hehehe true. Im just sayin . . . he's like kind of starting to get old. . . he's probably not giving it his all. Although 97% of Smitty is still elite.

89 is all talk. 89 is at full speed almost all the time. He would play catch in your back yard like he is preparing before a Superbowl.

Idk guys. . . Its not the old Smitty here either. . . . Idk, if I was up against a rook, Id have to flex just a little but you dont want to discourage them.

you don't make them better by coddling them. punch them in the mouth (figuratively...i know it's smitty we're talking about here) early and often and let them know this is what they have to get used to.

Which is why IMO he should never play another preseason game the rest is his career

i endorse this 100%.

i actually don't like the idea of any key starters playing in pre-season games. it's far too risky for a game that doesn't matter.

No need to make excuses for Smith he is an Elite player. If Norman is staying with him thats a testament to Norman not the fact Smith is doing anything different.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
