Steve Smith Injury Update

Smitty wouldve open the defense up to where Cam would now have Lafell on a better match up vs Cromartie and the Jets wouldnt be able to stack the line which will open more running lanes for our run game. Lafell vs Revis? NO way.

You saw what happened? Revis on Lafell, Defense didnt have to worry about any receiving threat so Landry was stacked in the box making tackles left and right, something hes great at. If Smitty was playing, Landry would've been back there trying to help cover and his ass wouldve been blown away by Olsen all night. No 89 = no receiving and running game, unless the Defense steps up like how they did.

Is that such a bad thing? I remember a time when the Carolina Panthers won and lost by whether the Defense stepped up or not. When we could overcome Jake throwing a few picks by solid defensive play. I know we've got Cam Newton and this high powered Chud offense now, but the way the D has looked so far this (pre)season, I for one wouldn't mind putting the game in their hands with 2 minutes to go.

and being without smith doesn't exactly cripple us either. it takes away one incredible option, but this offense still has what it needs to pull off the W without him.

this offense is loaded with talent. it may not have an elite WR corps, but that isn't exactly needed with the talent on this roster, esp. at QB, and the mad scientist we have running the O.

Cam is just the X factor. It's like he's an anamoly, similar to Neo from the Matrix. It's like you can't explain what he's capable of, he is just able to do it.

(example- his scramble vs Washington....after seeing that I literally just sat there and was like wtf just happened)

i almost want to say that chud is the matrix that creates an environment possible for neo (cam) to do what he does.

i dunno...need more coffee.

Hey youd be stupid to even try convincing me that our D now is even close to our D when Foxy used to rule it.

Carolina Chuck do you read your drivel before you post it?

You've spent the whole thread convincing yourself how bad you claim we are. Come on man.

We're pretty bad after Smitty. For some of yall and people like you, it "hurts" to know we're pretty bad after Smitty. Dont believe me, go check it out. Cry about how good you think we are.

Yeah we have no other weapons. Ok let's just concede our season now and get ready for 2013 boys!

All reports from the team are that he will be ready for the opener.

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      By NCBlu · Posted

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
