STEVE SMITH TALKS PANTHERS TRADE-UP

To be honest-  we’ve never made this kind of big move before.  Not THIS big, so I think that’s why people feel the way they do.

Yeah, it IS different, that's for certain.  Folks are really 'interested' because the Panthers are going "all-in". Sort of 'rolling the dice.'
It reminds me of when Ron Rivera started taking a few chances on the field....turned into "Riverboat Ron."  Same feel to it.
