[Anybodyhome]

Another 60-minute player the Panthers no longer wanted:

They won 21-7, which is what matters.

And yes, he's had three mediocre games in a row. He's still had twice as many 100 yard games as KB and Greg Olsen combined.

17 yards is also less than any receiving total for benajmin this year.

 

See, I can cite convenient stats, too.

 

Smitty's and KB's stats are reasonably comparable.

 

My point was that when smitty has a bad game, he'll do something like this to make him feel better about himself.

"it's just a little bit too much" as a Raven... haha

 

in reference to the stats, yes if is as he was here at this point. He had more to prove so that's why he started off great this. nevertheless, why didn't he do that since Cam's rookie year? 17 yards is not acceptable for any starting WR regardless of team or age. In reference to the Ravens, SS having 17 yards and they pull off a win  proves overall they are a better team than us not Benji's stats. The reality is Benji has had some horrible drops and so has SS even as a panther, but  coaching is the difference in winning. I just hope we don't set Benji as "the" receiver rather than one of our receivers like we did with SS. Neither are a true #1 as of today! And yes SS would have better numbers if his attitude was consistent with his production. He borders on many bonehead plays because of his mouth. Talented but mouthy!

yep the main thing we're missing as an offense right now is steve smith suplexing people all over the place and talking trash which is what his specialty was if things weren't firing on that side of the ball

I find it funny that there are Panther fans sounding butt hurt about Smith's departure as if he left of his own accord. 

 

The main thing the Panthers are missing on offense is any semblance of an identity or personality.

i don't miss the guy that much and i don't think we'd be much better on offense if he was here.  ow my butt it hurts so bad!

The offense wouldn't be much better with the best receiver in the league.... and I wasn't calling out anyone specifically, but if the shoe fits.....

I would agree they are somewhat comparable. Steve obviously has the upper hand, but he'd be doing about the same here.

 

It was a bad statistical game, yes, but they won fairly comfortably. Sometimes you just don't need to target certain players to win. In 2011, for instance, we beat the Bucs 38-19 and he only had 2 catches for 32 yards. We beat the Bucs again 48-16 and he only had 1 catch for nine yards. It happens, it's not a big deal. Now, if he had that stat line in a loss, there would be a problem.

Were you mad in 2011 when he had very similar statlines in comfortable wins against the Bucs? What about KB last game, where he had 18 yards on 2 catches?

[Growl]

I like Steve as much as anyone but anybody that thinks that he is what's missing from this team is deluding themselves.

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

This team is certainly missing his (and Mitchell's) attitude. Nobody except for TD has any balls.

Steve is a great blocker... he is just always trying to blow someone up. He has opened some holes for Dwill and Cam for monster games before.. He is small but a good blocking WR is a huge asset to a team. Alshon Jefferey.. Andre Johnson..
