None of the remaining receivers were indispensable if they were DG would have tried hard to keep them. Smith hurts a little only because he seem to light a fire under the team with his passion, but that can be a double edge sword. Lafell dropped too many passes for my taste and definitely could not hold on to Newton's hot passes in the slot. Ginn was a speedster and it was much harder to complete those long passes but he also dropped alot of cathable passes. I miss Ginn and Smith moreso that Lafell but they can all be replaced.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1757788746378060243.post-89055017716430896432014-03-27T17:55:10.227-04:002014-03-27T17:55:10.227-04:00Smithy is gone!......GET OVER IT!

Depending on Smitty to carry the team got old and teams love it, cause it has been sooooooo easy to take him out of the game. If letting him go is going to cause this team to fail, then why 10 points in the play offs as if keeping him the results is gonna change. Give me a dog-on break! Let a team u coach punch u in the gutt like that and see what u do. I'm glad I'm glad I'm glad time to spice up the offense!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1757788746378060243.post-34119616821141865772014-03-27T15:13:58.721-04:002014-03-27T15:13:58.721-04:00Hi Scott,

Must replace Ginn in the return game though. Panther Draft Strategy:<br />#1. OL (a starter)<br />#2. WR (a starter)<br />#3. OL (more OL to protect Cam and make run game go)<br />#4. CB (need depth)<br />#5. WR (take a flier)<br />#6. WR (return man)<br />#7, WR (best available)<br /><br />That would give us 2 more good O-Line and 4 new receivers plus DB help. Gettleman needs to also sign 2-3 more free agents and cut Godfrey to free up some $. Go Panthers, keep the faith!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15262039211015800253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1757788746378060243.post-19106826389627218932014-03-27T07:43:01.845-04:002014-03-27T07:43:01.845-04:00Deepenwide,

But Your basis for making Ginn the #1 over Smitty is a little off. Given the numbers you posted Ginn had nearly a 53% catch rate, while Smitty had a 58% catch rate. So, that doesn't suggest putting Ginn ahead. Ginn did have slightly better yards per catch (15) than Smitty (11). But both were first down makers. And they only had one TD difference. To me, Ginn has issues with route running and position within a route. And also locating the ball. He did an ok job, but not irreplaceable. And certainly not a #1 receiver! Brandon Lafell had a 56% catch rate. Either way, they're all replaceable.

Smith had 4 td's last year...deepenwide says...<br /><br />Smith had 4 td's last year not 1. Smiths stat line was 64-745-4.<br />In comparison to other Panthers:<br />Lafell 49-627-5<br />Ginn 36-556-5<br />Olsen 73-816-6<br />Smith's stats actually compare to Tiquan Underwood's stats last year. Underwood's stat line last year was 24-440-4 in only 12 games. Underwood only had 46 passes thrown to him from a rookie QB.<br />The Panthers should have used Ginn as the primary WR last year. Ginn's 36 catches came on only 68 attempts at getting him the ball. Smith had 110 passes thrown to him resulting in his 64 catches. <br />Ginn was not a starter and out performed Smitty and Shula should have benched Smith and used him in 3 receiver sets. Can you imagine how well that would have went over with the fan base? <br />The Panthers had no choice but let Smith go if they wanted to bring the Lombardi trophy to Charlotte.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1757788746378060243.post-59830520953414101912014-03-26T11:16:28.377-04:002014-03-26T11:16:28.377-04:00With all due respect Scott, you're not privy t...With all due respect Scott, you're not privy to both sides of the story so to speculate on whether it was wrong to cut smitty is, wrong in itself.. The Panthers did him a favor. He's making more money and doesn't have to be #1 in Baltimore. The Panthers are trying to get young. Smitty was alos a distraction from a leadership role. DG wants Newton to be the guy everyone looks too as their leader and not have players look at Newton and then smitty to acknowledge with smitty that its ok. But I guess thats why they have journalists, to create a "story" based on specualation rather than facts. The facts are that smitty was not productive. 1 TD last year. They brought a leader in with Jericho that won't compete with Newton. Jericho is also very productive, 10 TD's last year. Gregnoreply@blogger.com
