There was some internal strife with Smith and Gettleman decided his production on the field no longer matched the headache he was in the locker room. Additionally, it was pretty obvious the Panthers needed some young talent at WR, and Smith has gone out of his way to let every rookie WR the Panthers ever had it was "his" team. They were just sick of it.

So the Panthers let him go and now he's waging a warpath and running his mouth which he always does. He'll wear down as the year goes on, however, and said on a conference call this week he'll retire a Panther.

Of course Benji is putting up Rookie of the Year numbers so maybe Gettleman isn't stupid?!?!

They don't have major injuries. The worst is Eifert and he's coming back later.

I think Zeitler going down is a pretty big deal, plus Marvin's foot, AJ Green missed the entire Atlanta game, Burfict's brain is slowly leaking from his ears, plus Eifert's arm. There are no major, out for the season, injuries, but those are some pretty important players that have been seriously dinged up in the first 3 weeks.

I forgot about Zeitler, but he's coming back in 2 weeks. AJ missed a game and came back the next. The rest will be ready after the bye week (with a big maybe on Burfict). I wouldn't consider any of those injuries major or worth worrying about.

I think had Tim Couch gone to anyone besides the Browns that year he would have had, at the very least, a mediocre career. Ditto David Carr for that matter.

Couch under the wing of Reid and McNabb on the Browns is certainly an interesting what-if.

And if we didn't drop a couple of passes and let megatron loving loose we could be 3-1 or even 4-0. The Giants just aren't built to be that good that early though, it would end in such a spectacular fireball.


The Giants do not start trying until the first "Has Tom Coughlin lost the team?" article hits the papers.

I don't think he's saying the injuries themselves are major, it's the injured people that are missing from the games are major. Zeitler, Green, Eifert, Burfict, and Jones all missing at the same time is pretty major.

I'm surprised the NFL aren't forcing the team to play him at RT all game tbh or something. The NFL and their media associates over here love Menelik Watson because he's perceived as having the chance to be a NFL starter (he'll never be a NFL starter but 2nd-round pick from a year ago at a position no-one can evaluate means it'll be a while before people give up on him), he's very visibly and proudly British and is perceived as British first and foremost, he's on a team who probably have more name recognition than almost any other in Britain (you see a LOT of Raiders merchandise in London because of it being a fashion thing and such), and so on.

The magazine I write for had him on the front cover this issue and had like a three- or four-page feature on him inside, as a Raiders fan it's kinda hilarious to see the hype train he's got going.
