Smith gone due to being outspoken about Shula

This is from an inferior site.  I'm not one to read that site ever but this is actually new and interesting info.

 

 

take it for what it's worth...

 

 

 

We were told that the Panthers were fearful Smith would become "poisonous" to the locker room due largely to being outspoken about the job performance of offensive coordinator Mike Shula, most specifically that he didn't think his offense was capable of being successful in the NFL.

 

 


We're told these locker room concerns were paired with a very real feeling that Smith had declined beyond the point of being effective. It was Gettleman's belief following film study that the veteran receiver had lost a step, couldn't jump like he did in the past and had concerns about his focus following a career-high season in dropped passes. Whether you agree with that or not is inconsequential, it's how the team felt.

Smith first found out about his status during a private meeting with Gettleman in which we're told the veteran receiver was informed the Panthers believed it would be in the team's best interest to attempt to trade him, or release him outright if a partner wasn't found. This was due to two things: A belief the receiver was declining and a mounting fear that his dominating personality was too much for a young team to withstand, especially while grooming new leaders.

Never understood the hate for Cat Scratch and visa versa. I actually enjoy both these sites.

 

That being said its a good thing they can't cut me from my fandom for critizing Shula or I would have been gone a loooonnnnggg time ago.

    • As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
