I'm notorious for hating on Steve Smith but dude speaks the truth.

[Proudiddy]

Wow... From his presser:

"These are the times that men become boys, or boys become men... Depending on how you want to view it."

I'm actually a little worried. Smith is like a bomb-sniffing dog. I can't think of anyone that Smitty has chewed out in the past that didn't wash out.

Namely I'm remembering him calling out Keary Colbert. But also Greg Hardy, Kris Jenkins, Josh Norman and Ken Lucas. Bad company to be listed in.

God, do I love Steve Smith. What chrome plated balls on that guy. I might actually cry when he retires.

Steve doesn't have clarence to talk sideways to Cam. Cam is the heart and soul of this franchise and where he goes the Panthers go. If he wanted to talk with him, he could schedule some time with him during the coming week if he can clear it with Cam's personnel and agent. Cam is above being talked down to.

Get the fug outta here with that horseshit.

Well, apparently he is the only one with enough balls to call what he sees.

He has also earned the right to call what he sees.

We certainly don't see it in a headcoach who calls his QB 'Mr Mopeyhead'.

Newton needs a strong coach or he is never going to get it. I said preivously that his ego was writing checks that could not be cashed on the field and got called down for it.

He needs someone when he makes a stupid mistake that calls him over and says 'now, just what were you thinking there and i'll tell you what this is how you are going to do it from now for the rest of the series, quarter, game, year.

I don't see anyone doing that with this kid, no one.

That pitiable press conference and the sitting with the towel on the head that all but screams 'hey you come talk to me, I don't come talk to you' bullshit has got to stop.

I supported Newton's drafting.

I support him as the franchise QB.

I don't support him as being untouchable.

He appears to be a 6 year old in a man's body and that's not what you need for a $650 million dollar franchise.

One thing is certain in the NFL, everyone is replaceable.

If there is anyone on the team who could talk to Cam and get through, it's Smith. Steve has come a long way from where he was as a youngster and he's been to the superbowl, playoffs and he's been through a historically bad season. He's an extreme competitor and so is Cam.

I honestly think Cam has trouble getting over how bad this team can be but he's a part of it. In this league, it doesn't matter if the defense made complete scrubs look like pro bowlers, that the offensive line didn't block well enough, or that DeAngelo can't run the ball vertically, most of the crap is going to fall on him. It sucks, but it's the life of a up and coming QB on a developing team.

LMAO!! WTF??

ahhhh poo

Cam's the face of the franchise, but theres not a chance in hell he's the heart and soul of it.

Smitty, Beason and Thomas Davis have all earned that right.

Cam isn't there yet,

Beason ain't got the current play to pull a Peppers type move at the moment.

[Carolina Fan]

And how verifiable is that comment.... with old smith i wouldn't doubt this happened, but it seems he turned over a new leaf and keeps his mouth shut in public.

Though i wish it did happen, i wish everyone would just vent their frustration so we can fix it.

[Panther17]

LMAO!! WTF??

Probably Who Dat Pat trolling.

[Sam Mills Fan]

Smith confirmed this on the record to Joe Person if you're still doubting.

[Proudiddy]

where at smf?

[Proudiddy]

Nevermind, see it...
