A smartass question deserves a smartass response I suppose.

I think he was just analyzing that.

I like the NFL article way better than Steve Reed's.

I like the NFL article way better than Steve Reed's.

But Reed's, IMO, holds a lot more water.

Unfortunately I think Reed is closer to the truth about Smitty. But given the uncertainty of this year and everything else, he isn't going to demand a trade and either have to eat crow if they don't move him or if no one will give enough to make it worth our while play for less than the 15 million he is scheduled to make. He is going to play it close to the vest and once the season starts he will quietly get traded to another team while we bring in someone else to replace him.

I will hate to see him go, but I was a Panther's fan before him and will be one after him as well.

I agree... i just like living in a fantasy world where Steve Smith is staying for as long as I can...

don't take that from me...

So you can basically choose to believe whichever article that reinforces your own personal opinion. In my mind they both are a wash since neither come from Steve Smith or Marty Hurney.

I'm not buying the "it's what he didn't say" argument that Reed speculates about. I don't see any reason for Steve to be spouting off the "rah-rah-rah" line that Reed so desperately wants to hear to convince him that Steve is coming back. Why would Steve say those things. He wants to know the plan and the shape of the team. Without free agency not even Ron Rivera knows that. Steve is still in wait and see mode and doesn't want to tip his hand, a smart decision from a smart player.

I, just like all of you are just going to have to wait and see what Marty and Steve do..

He took a stab in the dark like he often does and was wrong. Now he is trying to twist Smiths words so not to look foolish.

Smitty needs to stay a Panther until he retires.

that's an awesome way to keep a team from ever winning a championship.

loyalty to a player over making the team better = fail

We are a better team with Smitty. IMO.
