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


SIGCHI222

Recommended Posts

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.

    • Uggh forgot about that
    • I am curious to see if Warren is the elite player that the Huddle Warren stans believe. I am always fairly wary of these first round TE's.
    • The Rossi things isn't going away, either... https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/3312416/unfinished-business-7-players-to-watch-in-back-half-of-nhl-offseason The Wild and Rossi shouldn't be having any trouble hammering out an extension. Rossi, an RFA turning 24 in September, recorded the second-most points on the team last season (60 in 82 games). The smart, skilled, highly competitive 5-foot-9 Austrian is a homegrown top-six center. Minnesota has $10 million in cap space and no other significant spots to fill to finalize its 2025-26 roster. Problems lurk below the surface, however. Coach John Hynes demoted Rossi to the fourth line in the playoffs, dropping his nightly usage from 18 minutes in the regular season to 11 in the first-round series loss to Vegas. GM Bill Guerin's top to-do list item at the moment is to lock up Kirill Kaprizov. The superstar winger, who's been eligible for an extension since July 1, is due for Leon Draisaitl-type money (around $14 million average annual value) starting in 2026-27. Guerin has said there's no rush to sign, trade, or match an offer sheet for Rossi. If he stays, a short-term extension makes sense, since it gives both player and team flexibility. If he leaves, a trade is far more likely than an offer sheet. Half of the league could use a second-line center, and Rossi still has upside. The Hurricanes desperately need to upgrade at 2C (Jesperi Kotkaniemi isn't going to cut it) and have plenty of cap space. Ditto for the Sabres, who picked Jack Quinn one spot before Rossi went to the Wild in the 2020 draft. Mammoth bench boss Andre Tourigny coached Rossi in junior, and they don't have as much wiggle room, but trading top-six winger Nick Schmaltz (plus a pick) could make the math work. Guerin wants to make a so-called "hockey trade" here.
