Do you feel that Steve Smith has wasted his talent here?

To the OP,

Playing in Carolina has actually helped Smitty's career. We've shown loyalty to him and always featured him. Not many receivers in this league can say they've been with one team 12 seasons and have been the guy for that length as well. He's an incredible talent and the best player we've had IMO, but Im not sure his situation here would've been identical on other squads for as long.

He's had a great career relative to most NFL players, so he hasnt wasted his talent and he obviously likes being here.

Time to highjack the thread...

Who thinks Josh Gordon would be a good receiver to pair with Steve Smith, Brandon LaFell, David Gettis, Kealoha Pilares, and Joe Adams?

That way, when Smith retires we already have our future in place at the wide receiver position with Josh "Flash" Gordon, Brandon LaFell, David Gettis, Kealoha Pilares, and Joe Adams...

Maybe a third (we have no fourth) or fifth round pick in the supplemental draft.

Food For Thought (On whether Smith wasted his talent in Carolina): Record Watch

Steve Smith should be able to climb all the way to twenty second on the all-time receiving yards list this year passing Harold Jackson, Keyshawn Johnson, Stanley Morgan, Gary Clark, Joey Galloway, Keenan McCardell, Rod Smith, and the Panthers own Muhsin Muhammad.

What's even more impressive is that Smith will rank SIXTH on the all-time receiving yards list for players who started and finished their career with only ONE team. The current individuals in front of Smith include Marvin Harrison (Colts), Steve Largent (Seahawks), Hines Ward (Steelers), Michael Irvin (Cowboys), Reggie Wayne (Colts), and Rod Smith (Broncos). He will likely pass Rod Smith this year.

Similar specs to Gettis in height and such. I wouldn't be against it.

And school, and number lol...

But hell yea I'd give up a 4th Rd supplement pick for him.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      It’ll be interesting to see how the board falls I completely agree with you on TE for us The safety from Oregon would be the cherry on top for Evero’s defense/scheme.  If a OL’men is there that you love it would be very hard to pass up. This fan base seems to just see Walker as a stop gap but I wouldn’t be so sure. He’s the same age as Ekwonu. He’s had a much more impressive career arc/progression than Icky has. He’s the better pass protector. As far as I see it if Walker has a good year I’d bring him back over Icky. Ekwonu isn’t some elite franchise LT. Playing next to Lewis is going to be great for Walker much like it has been for Icky. We definitely need to get younger/cheaper on the OL though so for this reason alone it’s still top of my list come round 1 if board falls this way  Could also use another corner with Mike Jackson’s deal up after this season and needing a nickel but Corey Thornton looked really good in that role in the limited time we got to see him. However he’s coming off an achillies injury and you never know with those.  Then as mentioned above we do still have a need at WR. As far as “weapons” go it’s kind of a 2 man show with Tmac and Coker and neither is a burner. If Jordan Tyson is there at 19 and we can have a young WR group locked up for cheap that’s a huge advantage cap wise  And don’t forget linebacker. That clip in Devin’s Lloyd blueprint they used from Evero saying they need more intelligence there could’ve been left out for Wallace’s sake but it’s true. Wallace is lost in coverage. Pair a smart linebacker with Lloyd and that’s a group with Wallace and Cherelus being depth

      The fact that this is even a discussion is a testament of the level of front office badassery that's going on.

      Not always. LT was for the Giants. So was Ray Lewis. Von Miller was moreso than Manning his final year in the season that shall not be named. It's usually the QB, but not always.
