Rivera says Steve Smith wasn't a distraction

[BuffaloBills62]

Why are you on a panthers forum?

I can say with confidence since its still very early that our receiving group this year will be more dangerous and reliable than last season.

 

Is there a reason I should not be on here?  Is there anything I cannot add to the discussion?  If you are seriously asking - I can answer.  If you are just upset with what I say, then I am not sorry you disagree.  A lot of people think the Panthers are doing a lot of poor decision making and are going to struggle next year as they appear to be in a mini-rebuild.  I get it, ya'll are Panthers fans.  Fan is short for fanatic.  That likely means you know everything about the team and follow it closely.  That's not always the best view to see whats going on.

 

Either way, I live in the Carolina's.  I enjoy following the Panthers.  I became a fan of the team when half a dozen Bills started the team.  From Polian to Reich to Metzelaars and Beebe, there were several key Bills that started your franchise - and many of those players were guys I was fans of for the Bills and Panthers.  I have free time from time to time that allows me the opportunity to join in the discussion.  If you don't like what I post - don't read it.  I don't really care.

Which receiver would you rather have based on their last 5 years production?

 

Receiver A:  327 receptions, 4849 yards, 24 TDs (76 games)

 

Receiver B:  420 receptions, 5437 yards, 27 TDs (71 games)

 

Cam has improved drastically, but look at the QB's Wayne has had.  It helped.

I never said I don't like what you post so take a deep breath and sit down lol.

I simply asked why are you on a Panthers forum? I have never in my life went on another teams forum to discuss their offseason decisions, so naturally I found it odd.

All you had to say is that your a bills/panthers fan living in Charlotte. How easy is that?

Meh, I'm a little emotional right now.  Jim Kelly dying.  Ralph C Wilson passing on yesterday.  I guess that's part of the reason I am on here now, the Bills pages are just sad, sad places currently - and I was also looking about what FA news ya'll had.  Kenny Britt choosing between what looks like the Rams, Panthers and Bills is funny.  I don't know if I want him on the Bills.  The Panthers could use him but probably not worth it.  Plus, it'd be irony that Smith was cut and Britt joins.

 

I don't live in Charlotte, though.  I live in the country via WNY and a few other stops.

Its not like anyone knows what was really going on. Just foolish to keep making speculation threads. Even if smitty has 1000yds 8 tds it still was probably the right decision.

Of course ron isnt going tonthrow smitty under the bus. Doesnt mean hed prefer him to be on the team

[UpstatePanther]

I'm taking a break from the huddle man, people are really trying to pretend Cotchery is and upgrade over Smitty. Keep drinking that kool aid, from Jim Jones.

 

dont let the door hit you on the way out man. no offense but every comment ive read from you since the season ended has been negative doomsday stuff. take your break and come back in September. let the Front Office do their job and have some patience.

 

also... aside from the one poster above, who has been saying that Cotchery is going to be an upgrade over Smith? i havent seen it. the Huddle seems to understand that Cotchery is simply a stopgap until Carolina grooms a younger WR core.

Please be serious...and if serious please do not come back until you have ONE positive thing to say.

We lose the best player in franchise history, and have yet to replace him. There is nobody in FA or the draft at 28 that can replace him. So it's safe to say he won't be replaced this year.

Our Pro Bowl LT retires and the team think's Byron Bell(a player most thought shouldn't even be on the roster)is a replacement.

We wipe out our entire WR core and haven't gotten any younger at the position (unless you count king and mcnutt)or better.

We fail to sign a hometown kid that was arguably the best replacement for Steve Smith.

As of right now and most likely going forward we will be banking on a young unproven oline and mediocre wrs. Who will be catching passes from fuging Joe Webb until training camp.

And to top it all of, my fuging PSL season tickets have gone up.

But hey we signed Jerricho Cotchery!!! woooohoooooo!!! And the HAIR, omg we signed the hair. The HAIR is in Charlotte ladies and Gents!!. I'm thrilled, I really am.

[KillerKat]

I told you guys the media made up the whole distraction bs and everything else. What didn't come directly from Gettleman's mouth was made up.

I've accumulated the most pie in the shortest amount of time. I'd be missed too much.

aren't you that guy that admitted he skipped out on bills games so he could sit on the beach and sip peach daquairies with his wife?

only by the followers of your panther apocalypse.

Smitty had a lot of drops last year. Too many, bottom line.
