Steve Smith needs some Help!

[bobcats55]

I am looking to start a new Panther franchise this weekend once I get a new xbox (old one suffered the ring of death after a fall) I am content to address the defensive weaknesses in the off season and draft but the offense I want to get right in year one.

What would be a way to get Steve Smith another WR to take some of the pressure off of him. When I play most teams, Smith always gets covered close. The tight ends are great, but I would love to get another WR, possibly a deep threat to move Smitty to the slot.

I would trade either Williams or J.Stewart if I could address this issue. Also, would it be realistic to sign either T.O.(as if I would really want to in real life lol, but his ratings are good tho) or TJ Houz...? Both of these guys could help a lot.

Any input is greatly appreciated!

Not sure if this works and its kinda unrealistic but you can try Williams a first and a second/third to the cowboys for Dez Bryant. they could use RB help and he is not their best WR(rating wise).

If you think you can pick up a wr in the offseason, I'd sign TO for a year.

Otherwise, I think i'd try and trade one of your running backs to get Demarius thomas from the broncos

96 speed 6'3 229 after 1 season he is around 80 overall.

Awesome, thanks for the feed back guys! Keep it coming


I love using Dez. I am not a big fan of miles austin, so when I use Dallas I always throw to either Dez or Witten( and my boy Tashard Choice lol)

I have not used Thomas yet, even tho he sounds like a beast. I am assuming he is a rookie or atleast young? That makes both of these guys great pickups. I would let DeAngelo go for these guys, I still have J. Stew and with Carolina going to more of a passing offense in real life, it would be more realistic to pass more often anyway.

Any chance I could swing a deal for Dez, and Choice? Just from looking at the stats it appears Dallas is not going to use him as a major back. Plus they drafted Murray.

Yes Thomas is young

As for a trade involving Dez and choice...

Williams would have to be the back to go. Probably would cost you a 1st/3nd round pick in the current year, and a 2nd or 3rd next year too to pry dez away from the cowboys at this point.

That is a steep price. He is a good player tho. Could I sweeten the deal much by throwing Nannae into the mix? I have a lot of faith in LaFell and with him as WR #3 plus Shockey/Olsen, there is not going to be many passes left to dish out. Choice would be a super pick up because he is a good receiver as well as a solid back. Stewart/Choice/Goodson with Smith/Dez/LaFell and Shockey/Olsen is a better team hands down.

Also, does Carolina have the budget to sign T.O. or TJ Houz...? I know the game lets you sign them for like 680K but would Carolina have enough to sign one of these guys today to a realistic contract?

Haha I was hoping that maybe some teams would see him as a development project or a possession receiver. He is just an average wide out for us so we need to upgrade big time
