So he is going as strong as ever....even though the stats don't show it.

 

Genius.

Okay, not strong as ever, but definitely strong enough to start next year. I mean who else do we have? McNutt? 

Even if we sign Nicks, he'll be in the same position we've put Smitty in most of his career. 

 

And we save nothing by cutting him this year? 

 

And he is our greatest player ever?

 

And we let him find out through the grapevine that he isn't coming back?

 

Genius.

What do we know of the injury he had?

 

something doesn't quite add up. Smitty's agent said there wasn't an opportunity to renegotiate his contract...and he is not going to get a trade with a bad knee...

 

there must be more to the story...it doesn't make sense to cut him and get a couple $M in relief...

You guys are fools and this forum is run by you all.....how stupid can you be to not understand Shula vs Chud.

Fact is Smith produced and was a critical part of the 12-4 season. That is a fact.

 

I don't care if Jeff Davidson is your OC, if Cam is your QB and you are the #1 receiver and can't get to 800 yards and 5 TDs you aren't being very productive.

What do you consider producing?

Ask Talib what production is.

Ask Cam what production is.

Ask anyone that has actually watched SS sustain drives by making critical plays what production is.

If the ball is not being thrown in the offensive scheme run by the Panthers how is this SS's fault? He only does what the offense asks of him. 12-4 is the key. Would you prefer 1100 yards and 7-9 or 750 yards and 12-4???

Educate yourself please!

The offense was a ball control offense where possessions and passing yards were minimal. Not to mention SS actually had some help this year from Ginn and others. Had Chud been here, SS would have had another 1100 yard season like 2011 and 2012....

baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

You realize of course you are making MadHatter's point for him right?

Whether or not Smitty's dip in production was because of scheme or because of a drop in ability, he is not worth what we are paying him. Contracts should be base on importance to what you are doing. We emphasize a monster front four so what happened??? Errmergherd Hardy got paid. If we were more like Seattle and based off monster secondary coverage, you can bet your bottom dollar he would've been let go. Does that mean he isn't worth it? Nope, just not worth it to us for what we want to do. If possession and ball control is what we want to do, and that's why Olsen had a better year than Smitty, than wouldn't it make sense to not pay Smitty $7MM this year then $18MM over the next two for minimal production?

If we are running the offense you say then every dime we have to spare on offense should be going to possession type receivers like Nicks or draft a big boy like Benjamin or pickup a second TE that'll move the chains for $3MM per year.

I hate to use silly internet memes like your argument is invalid, but your argument truly is invalid.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      Well, the whole rationale used  for the high IQ point guard is it would allow us to spend our resources elsewhere….instead it’s all our first rounders ever since to support the bad pick.  Reality is our front office is just bad.  If you wanted Bryce Young you were going to need to do something unique and special for him.  Instead we just insert a QB with traditional tools into old NFL concepts that pair with traditional talent and our pass game is whack

      Good to see some other folks are speaking the same language on this. It's simple common sense. But it seems like there's a disconnect due to the misplaced value the team has put on Thielen because he was the only vaguely good veteran WR willing to sign with the Panthers after we traded away DJ Moore. That time has come and gone. We have two first round WR's on the roster now.

      Yeah I’m turning this into a Bryce can’t play QB thread. Just stating that offense was a poo show two years ago. No QB is succeeding in that, much less a rookie. I feel like it’s become a common debate strategy on here to just jump down the rabbit hole of saying he is just bad in so many ways when any certain point gets countered. If that doesn’t work we can deflect to how poorly this team has been ran. In regards to the actual point we are debating, the OL was struggling, half of the skill players aren’t on a roster, Mingo has done nothing with his new team and the staff are either not coaching or on their 3rd team in 3 years, aside from McCown (I liked McCown too). Honestly about as bad as it gets. No need to try to state how good of an offense it was billed it because that has been proven false at this point.
