My last shot at Steve Smith as a man...

The 5 stages of grief are denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.  In the spirit of Zod's last shot of Steve Smith as a Panther post, I just wanted to say a couple of things.

I do not take back any of my rants on this forum, my comments to friends, my call-ins to the Mac Attack, my rants to the Whiner Line.  I truly believe we are better off without Steve.  He is older.  He has lost a step, maybe 2.  He is not a good teammate and he was not good in any way for Cam's maturation process and he would have been even worse as a mentor to a new receiver like Kelvin.

When I heard Steve was gone my heart broke, got really pissed but then justified my anger by exaggerating his diminishing skills, skipped the bargaining phase along with the depression (self medication is really under rated) and now I accept it.

 

Not that any of you give a poo, but I am done beating the hell out of Steve Smith. 

 

I can't write flowing articles like Philly B or Zod or pique your intellect like Mr Scot (who I think is actually Irish), or piss you off in the good way like Frash, or make you laugh like SCP, or do whatever everybody does on this forum like so many do.  But I can tell the truth.

 

I'm done hating SS#89 for not being here.  It wasn't his choice.  He was a good Panther..........a great Panther........and we should be proud that he played for us. 

 

Sorry for the rant but I had to get that off my chest.

Not to be "That guy", but, couldn't you just have posted this in the original thread? jk

 

Where's the fun it that?

 

Plus it's got nothing to do with Jeremy's last pic.  That is actually special.  My poo is just poo.  A rant.

 

Don't want to get rant in special.  They have nothing in common.

The only thing Smitty deserve is respect.

He is not a Panthers anymore, ok.. maybe even for a good reason, but still he deserve a lot of respect for all the good seasons and good moments.

Personally i always forget the bad and keep the good, life is too short.

Carpe diem dammit.

 

This is like all those average sportcasters with Thomas Davis..

Thomas Davis the man with 3 acl injuries..

And never Thomas Davis the Outstanding OLB with 628 tackles, 15 sacks, 6 interceptions, 11 FF

Shall we invite Davis to Hawaii? no no Davis this is 3 ACL injuries!!!!! We will give him the medicine nobel prize..

 

For me Smitty this is 10 years of pur happiness and good moments, all the TDs, All the funny trash talks, etc.

Some will resume Smitty to a couple of punches.. This is your life..

I did not respect Smitty.  He sucked as a teammate.  He was a gamer, but the $$ we would have had to pay him to keep a 35-year old here was stupid.  4 TDs, 745 yards.  Benjamin will do better than that.

 

I think it is quite possible 2 of our WRs this year do better.

 

Smitty was a dick, for the most part.  To fans, to teammates, to the opposition.  A self-promoter.  Maybe he should go for the professional hat trick and punch out a teammate in Baltimore.  I doubt Harbaugh would put up with it.

For many years, Steve Smith was the only  Panthers offensive player that any other team feared.

 

Like many NFL players in general and WRs specifically, there was an ego and he was a little man, playing a big man's game.

 

He's gone now, probably 2 years too late, and had he played for a team that had a decent QB the last 4 years of his career, there

would be no question that he would be in the hall of fame.

 

The fact is we know little about the people whose jerseys we wear and whose efforts we cheer.  Some are better than we think and

some worse than we can ever imagine and some get too much forgiveness when they should be in jail.

 

I wish Steve well.  We all should wish him well as a man, a husband and a father.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By CRA · Posted

      The framing continues to be if you disagree with this top 10 play making….its then somehow spun as denying his improvement or hating. if you take Bryce’s career and exclude his last 2 starts……there really is no objective argument that isn’t a bottom tier starter to date. Is yeah, it’s cherry picking, recency bias and his surprising inability improvement driving it into a bit of silliness.  Literally nothing argued here except the top 10 stuff is overkill.   But it’s also the same time of year when folks can get bashed for saying Frank is a bad hire, Fitterer sucks and should be fired with Rhule, Ben McAdoo was a joke hire for a staff that forced into rejects, Rhule doesn’t know what he is doing and clearly exposed when reporters got into camp, the Sam/Baker comp and not picking one is dumb, and on and on.  Lot of frankly conservative takes are spun as wild hate this time of year.

      Doing a little digging and it looks like PFF didn't penalize him for the XL drop during that Chiefs game.  I also think the moral of the story is most teams aren't chunking it 20 plus yards for completions multiple times every game.  Hit a couple of those and you can be one of the top "deep" ball passers that week.

      Of course he needs to put together a full season and there is no reason to suggest he won't. His progress last year was great and unless you think he has already reached his ceiling he should continue to get better. That is why folks are excited for the first time in years. Who knows what will happen but to have a qb who finished the year playing excellently and is only going into his 3rd year, you need to be excited. At least until we have reason to think differently.
