Of course we have Proehl and other vets. No one here is discrediting what they could bring. However those players never reached Steve's level of greatness while in the league. The man won the TRIPLE CROWN....which if I'm correct only Jerry Rice has also achieved.

And Sterling Sharpe (since the NFL/AFL merger).

Avant and Cotchery are here to be stop gaps and teammates.

 

If you guys think that they are going to be out here literally holding rookies hands, you are woefully confused.

 

 

The success or failure of a player ultimately falls on nobody else but themselves at the end of the day. These are grown men.

 

 

You or I were never on the practice fields or game fields with him or any other player to know what he did or did not do.

 

Honestly this scapegoating of Steve Smith for our ineptitude at developing a WR is pathetic.

 

I doubt KB is sitting around worrying about whether or not he has a "mentor".

I bet KB IS worried about who is going to "mentor" him. If you think rookies come in with all knowing powers you ARE sadly mistaken. Have you never heard the phrase "Wide eyed Rookie".

I can tell you never played sports. UpperClassmen help the kids, same in the NFL. Vets help the kids learn the game. Coaches are only around a short amount of the day. Where do you think rookies learn most of the nuances of the game? Madden?

 

 

Who cares what his jersey number is, are you really going to be thinking about that when he's catching touchdown passes from our QB?

OH, but you couldn't me more wrong. What number a player wears is absolutely important. Otherwise there would be only 1 jersey. You would buy a Panther jersey, or a Lions jersey, not an individual players jersey.

You really have no clue how sports work do you?

Dude, glad to have you back. I have missed your snarky, (precieved) superiority.

Did you learn everything you know in life from your parents? It was there job to teach you things when you were growing up. No, they taught you everything they could to the best of their ability I'm sure but you learned a lot of what you know from peers, friends, experience.

It's not just on the coaches when a young player is learning.

 

Exactly...   Proehl cannot be up his KB's ass all day long teaching him.   You learn more from your peers and VETS.

 

You won't find a bigger Steve Smith fan but he wasn't that leader he needed to be of the WR.

 

Gross and Kalil were leaders among the line.  Edwards and Cole were helping Star and KK.    You can go throughout the roster and point out guys that lead others on the team.

 

It may not be his job but if he is a team player he should be guiding the youth to get better.   Maybe why some of our other WR never panned out.   They didn't have a leader showing them the bits and pieces that the coaches don't.

Don't know why some Panther fans can't just except the fact that Smith was a great player, but not necessarily a great teammate. 

 

This has been obvious for years, but was conveniently overlooked due to Smiths production, and tangentially the worship of his personality ("Ya gotta love Steve, he's such a pisser, huh"), from all the crap he said and did!!.

Okay you guys have convinced me. It's definitely Steve Smith's fault that Dwayne Jarrett had more DUI's than touchdowns in his whole career.

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
