He's basically gone now. I don't see the need to talk poo regardless. Not after all he's done for this franchise.

 

Our GM, and some of our fans could have shown a lot more class. Just a shame.

 

Jake Delhomme did a lot for this franchise too but, we waited a year too late to move on.

 

I appreciate everything Smith has meant to this franchise.  But I am referring to on the field and he isn't a #1 anymore

it took me a week or two to objectively remove myself from the situation, but at this point this is how i see it. it's a bitter pill to swallow, but sometimes you gotta crack a few eggs to make an omelet. 

 

It's weird how people use that quote. It originated as an excuse for committing mass murder. I mean, by that alone, odds are if you're using it then you're probably doing something not very good.

Smitty is the reason I became a Panther fan upon moving to NC in 2005. I have never enjoyed watching a player as much as I've enjoyed Smith. He made every season enjoyable.

He'll always my favorite player and while I hate that this happened and how it happened, I hope he has a great next few seasons and gets the ring he deserves (as long as doing so doesn't keep it from the Panthers)

This a little different from the Delhomme situation. The guy regressed really fast.

 

I don't know about him being a #1, but I don't think he's completely done either. All I read about is how his production sank so much, yet nobody wants to talk about how our offense as a whole had low numbers, and statistically we went from top 15, to bottom 10, in one season.

utilitarianism is a neutral philosophy that can be used for bad by bad people or good by good people. anyone that doesn't realize this is probably a 47-year-old white guy with a mustache and interstate batteries baseball cap reposting reagan quotes on facebook and yelling about obama and the communists

Cam only threw 12 less passes than he did last year and completed 12 more passes.

 

We weren't throwing vertical as much but we aren't getting yards after catch either.  That is a big part of our struggles.

 

But our offense was pretty good last season even if the total yardage numbers aren't as exciting.  We were pretty darn efficient.

We also held a ceremony for Jake and everyone cried and talked about just how much he meant to the franchise and team.

 

Smith, the guy who actually made Delhomme and put us on the map, got to hear through twitter and ESPN reporters while half of the NFLN staff wonder on air what kind dipshit organization we're running over here.

 

Little different.

And more importantly we were able to put the game into the offense's hands last season more than once and they were able to respond with wins. That was extremely encouraging.

Yeah if only we could have scored more in the red zone.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.

      That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
