Things over the past year that Smitty has done that don't correspond to the Gettleman style

Look, I know this is beating a dead horse territory, but I was doing some Youtube searches to find some good Smitty highlights to give me some motivation while taking a procrastination break, and I ran in to a lot of videos within the past year of Smitty doing some stuff that I don't think corresponds with Dave Gettleman's philosophies. It really put some perspective and evidence supporting that he was cut more for locker room reasons.

 

It just seems to me like Smitty got more attention for his "fired up" style lately than he has since he got the publicity for fighting his teammates, which I firmly believe he's grown above.

 

This point is brought up, but when you see video after video on Youtube of one player, it puts things into perspective.

 

1. Says he wouldn't want Sanchez throwing a paper bag sandwich. True? Yes. Good for camera? No.

To me it comes down to age and saving money for the future. All the rest is the soap opera drama that is the NFL.

 

It was a decision that had to me made sooner or later and they made it when it suited them best.

 

Cowboys cut Ware, Vikes cut Allen, Chi cut Pep, Eagles cut Jackson, NO cut Sproles, we cut Smitty. All still decent players.

 

The Ravens didn't sign him for 27 odd mill over 3 years like we would be paying him either.

I think it's more of a balancing beam thing.

 

Will his future production and leadership balance out the future outbursts and salary?

 

I probably wouldn't have done it, but I'm way more tied to smitty than Gettleman is.

 

I just came upon some real proof of what he was probably looking at

And the "fan base" continues to shyt on the greatest Panther to ever hit the field.

 

this is not shitting on the greatest player to wear a panthers uniform.

 

the OP is showing what would have rustled Gettlemans feathers. There is a major difference.

 

fwiw. i loved every fuging second of this past season and smitty's antics. his last season as a panther is something i will remember for the rest of my life. think about all the great moments he had this past year. his last year as a panther.

 

I think Gettleman wants Cam in control of his recievers. To be the top dog so to speak. to be the general. There was no reigning in smitty. everyone knows that.

      Unc Basketball thread

      Yeah the only way current set up is fun is if every year a different tiny school builds a super team and makes a run. You just need 1 rich guy to say you know what would be funny, if I drop 30 million and my school has a shot at a national championship.   They won't ever do it but put some sort of tiered salary cap in place and sign them to 4 year deals. You can only transfer up or down tiers no lateral moves because mean ole coach at texas doesn't play me enough so I'm going to Tennessee. So a player at prairie view can transfer to texas and get paid more or a player from UNC can transfer to UNCG because he isn't getting playing time. If a guy is transferring "up" he can get a salary bump if the team has salary cap space. A guy transferring down has to stay at the same salary as he signed his 4 year deal for so the lower tier team would have to have the cap space to sign him. It would stop the money chasing for lateral moves but allow guys who improve massively at lower schools to make more money as juniors and seniors and hopefully keep more guys in one place because the contract is for 4 years.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By Davidson Deac II · Posted

      His third year was worse than Bryce's third year, significantly so.  And he had a game where he threw for 120 yards, two inteceptions, and had a fumble.  He had multiple games where he threw for more int's than td's.
