Steve Smith Will Not Be In a Panthers Uniform Next Season

[ZB1224]

They dropped the same amount

 

Smith at a 5.5% rates

Lafell at a 7% rate

 

*Nicks dropped 5 at a 5% rate

 

I let my PFF subscription run out after the season, but the numbers I remember are much different.

I mentioned this above, but how much can you put on the offense itself? Cam threw for 500 less yards than he did last year; some of those yards would have gone to Smith. 250? (since 1000 seems to be the magic number), I don't know, but we simply did not run a good offense last year. Everyone's actual numbers suffered. What sticks out to me is that Smith accounted for 22% of our quarterback's total passing attempts, which appears pretty adequate for a number 1 from what I can tell.

 

Smith accounted for 1/5 of Cams production. You can move 100 yards over if you want to extrapolate data with Cam throwing for 500 more yards

thread title is misleading

 

 

whose to say Smith doesn't dress as a Carolina Panther for halloween?

Interesting. I think that PFF records drops a bit differently. I want to say it was something like 9% for Smitty and 16% for LaFell. The numbers might be slightly off, but it's something close to those percentages.

The offense doesn't stop people from making plays.  Do you not think the offense as a whole suffered because the talent on the offense (including smith) was lacking?

There's lots of inside talk of letting Smith go because of his constant yelling at Cam and how he needs to leave for Cam to grow as leader

Steve Smith is now driving the boat.

His twitter posts are a direct challenge to the Panthers to release him so he can maximize his double dip on the team of his choice.

GOOD FOR YOU SMITTY!!!

 

The one thing this whole fiasco has shown, is that SS is not driving anything.

If DG didn't toe his boss' assumed company line, he sure isn't going to cave to any tweets.

I love SS too but it is safe to say that not one detail of this is under his influence.

Not to mention that he missed two games. Now, that in ITSELF is a concern, but leaving that aside for the moment - in an offense like we ran in 2011-2012, AND playing a full 16 games (yes, a lot of hypotheticals here), is it really too much of stretch to say he would have gone over 1,000 had we ran a competent offense and hadn't gotten hurt? I mean, accounting for 22% of your quarterbacks passing yards while only playing 14 games is pretty incredible.

Please God dont go to the Saints.

 

Opposite here. He goes to NO and he's probably going to build his stats enough to have a chance at the Hall. Besides, if you read the thread he's washed up and sucks now. No worries.

So Cam doesn't have to balls to stand up and lead?

Awesome.

Well, I mean, Cam only threw 12 less times than he did in 2012 and had 12 more completions than he did in 2012.  They just weren't all vertical but we still aren't getting any yards after catch

Oddly enough I want him to go to New England if the FO won't keep him around. With Brady and that system he could really put up some numbers.
