I often take the unpopular stance

[CRA]

Draft Cam - before it was cool to say

Draft Luke bc we can't trust Beason and company to all be back

Don't sign all these RBs bc we won't give them touches to justify it

Chud is overrated and nothing like what is being pimped- last season when people wanted him as our HC

I typically get the, "CRA, you are an idiot" for such thoughts......

We should trade Smith or force him to retire after this year. Greatest Panther to date....but his time has run its course. He is one of MANY big moves we must start making. We need to move forward....I think as this season progresses that will become more clear. Bash away bc I know the Smitty man love is off the charts.....but his era is over and that era still holding on is one of several big problems IMO.

The new GM will clean house.

...and needs to...if that GM thinks Smith is done, then he's done.

I've seen Smith take a lot of shots this year and I believe it's taken quite a toll on him.

He'll be lucky to able to walk by the time he is 50.

He has been, in my opinion, the best players the Panthers have ever had. He will be missed.

so is this an "I wanna cookie" thread?

The next GM should have the power to evaluate the situation and make changes as he sees fit.

[Keep Pounding]

You Sir would probably be a good shrewd business man, I for one would not.

Keep Smitty!

[Lumps]

I think forcing him to be our #2 would be more ideal IMO

more of a matter if smitty can handle it

LOOOOOOLLLLLLLLL

I'll be following this one haha

I seriously doubt the JR will allow any GM to part ways with Smith. This is Steve Smiths team to leave.

Hey guys I don't mean to brag but I'm always right and sh*t

Or have him occupy the slot when we run 3WR sets.

And that will hinder the Panthers growth.

Meh, I also said Dwayne Jarrett just needed a chance....pretty much up to his last DUI. So no, no cookie....but it is a lets talk about things people don't like to even think about.

Which is part of the problem.....and I don't disagree with that being the stance that could be taken.

It isn't a talent issue.....Smith has the talent to play for several more years in an altered role.
