Last week I wrote that I thought the perfect time to call the Panthers was right after the fight with Lucas as their patience and trust in Steve Smith might be at an all time low. Now unconfirmed reports are circulating around that the Panthers might be willing to listen.
Normally, teams are always willing to listen but the Panthers ears might be highly peaked at this point. Smith is an awesome receiver. He has great speed and explosive movement. He has what I call Steve Smith routes, which are routes that Smith and only Smith can run. He is very unique and needs to be in an offense that knows how to use his very strange route tree. Teams that use the numbering system of play calling where they can fit his route skills with just calling a number would be the best place for Smith. Teams like Dallas, San Diego, Cincinnati, San Francisco (all teams that use the old Sid Gilliam offense) could conform to his talents.
With the chemistry between Jake Delhomme and Smith it would have to be a very good deal to get the Panthers to make a move. Smith's speed and explosive talents really help make the rest of the Panthers offense work well.
But as we said last week, this is the time to strike if interested.
