Steve Smith "It's nice to play for a team that expects to go to the superbowl

Because we have more than a few men who lose their manhood when it comes to giving Pep and 89 their due, acting more like butt-hurt bitches masquerading as Internet tough guys spewing fire---more like poo---from a mouth akin to a second hurt butt hole.

I was hurt when Peppers was so open about leaving. But the dude is a freak. How much of an athlete do you have to be to walk on to the UNC basketball team

i don't blame him. we've been crippled by trickle-down mediocrity since the franchise's inception. the ravens are undoubtedly a huge culture change and i bet it's a breath of fresh air for a guy like steve smith.

89 has been viewed as the face of our franchise for years and years (and the GOAT)

Yet here he is talking about the tone while he was here.....he is the dude that is suppose to be one of the tone/expectation setters.

So basically he is dissing us for what he failed to do.....I mean 89 has a PHD in trolling

I was waiting for a comment like this from him soon I saw that they made the playoffs. I love some Smitty & after he left I wished him success. But these swipes at us have gotten old. I was hoping so bad that they wouldn't make the playoffs. Now I hope they get knocked out faster than you can say "ice up son".

Yeah Smitty, that is what a strong locker room with great veteran leaders and sustained success will do for a team and organization.

 

We've never really had that in Carolina, and guess what.....you were part of that problem.  You are the greatest panther player in the history of this franchise, but on the leadership scale you don't even crack the top ten.

 

Best of luck in the playoffs.  I'm sure we will hear from you again if the Panthers win Saturday and the Ravens lose.

Pie this a thousand times. He was arguably released for this very reason. He admitted to not wanting to help young players.

You're right, but its just football. So I can afford to be irrational in my stance. Fug Smitty until he retires.

Ps.- I still love me some Smitty tho...BUT FUG HIM RIGHT NOW.!

Like other people said, mediocrity is endemic in this franchise, but Smitty wasn't just a spoke on the wheel. As someone who wants to run the locker room, it's his job to set the mentality and try not only to play a great game himself, but to help other players play better in anyway he can. He's in a new environment run by people who actually want to lead which has won before he showed up and will win long after he's gone. He just didn't want to be saddled with that responsibility here. That's why he's not here anymore.

I mean, I can't say that he isn't right. I remember that one year when Brad Hoover was being interviewed and he said something to the likes of "it's like someone us don't really care about winning". It is not the exact quote but you get what I am saying. I am hoping someone remembers that here. Well anyway, we have had mediocrity for awhile but I feel the culture is starting to shift. We have the unquestioned leaders in Cam and Luke who have taken the reigns who are tired of losing. We finally have back to back playoff appearances but this is only the tip of the iceberg. I love these young players we have. It hypes me up just watching them. We had a down year record wise but we are 0-0 right now and anything can happen. I wish Smitty the best except playing against us in the bowl :)

    • Not football related, but UNC basketball player Seth Trimble used his NIL money to buy the Ben & Jerry's franchise on Franklin Street in Chapel Hill. https://www.tarheelblog.com/unc-basketball/46475/seth-trimble-now-owns-ben-jerrys-in-chapel-hill Definitely a smarter move than buying a Lambo.
    • I was bored at work today so I typed up my ideas for CFB realignment: D1 college football would be split into 2 tiers of 5 conferences each: Power 5 (P5) and Group of 5 (G5) conferences. To bring the total number of FBS teams to an even 140, the following FCS teams would make the moved up into the G5 tier: North Dakota State, South Dakota State, Montana State and Sacramento State. The P5 tier would consist of 50 teams with 10 teams per conference. Every team would play every other team in it's conference every year. There would be no conference championship games in P5 tier since teams will play each other during the season to provide the head-to-head tie breaker. The G5 tier would consist of 90 teams in 5 conferences of 18 teams split into 2 divisions. Teams would play every team in their division every year along with teams from the other division on a rotating schedule. G5 conference championship games would be held the week following the Army-Navy game between the two division winners from each G5 conference. In the event that Army and Navy are the two division winners in the American conference, the Army-Navy game itself would decide the conference championship. P5 tier would retain the current 12-team playoff structure and seeding rules with the existing Bowl Game rotation remaining in place. G5 tier would use a 16-team playoff with conference champions guaranteed the top-5 seeds + homefield advantage in the 1st round. Seeds 6-16 would be decided by national rankings. Homefield advantage would be decided by seeding in the 2nd round with the G5 National Championship held at a neutral site. There would be a promotion/relegation system in place. Each P5 conference would have a satellite conference in the G5 as follows:  - ACC/American  - Big 10/MAC  - PAC/MWC  - SEC/Sun Belt  - SWC/C-USA Every 5 years the team in each P5 conference with the worst W-L record over the previous 5 seasons would be relegated to their conference's G5 satellite. Likewise, the team with the best W-L record during the previous 5 seasons will be moved up into the P5. Any other movement of teams between conferences would be subject to approval by the CFB Competition Committee and teams are only permitted to switch conferences once every 10 years. The Walter Camp Award will be awarded to the best player in P5 tier. The Maxwell Award will serve as the G5's equivalent award. The Heisman Trophy will be awarded to the best player in the nation, regardless of conference or tier. POWER 5 CONFERENCES: ACC: Clemson Duke Florida State Miami N.C. State North Carolina Pittsburgh South Carolina Virginia Tech West Virginia BIG 10: Illinois Indiana Iowa Michigan Michigan State Nebraska Notre Dame Ohio State Penn State Wisconsin PAC-10: Boise State BYU California Colorado Oregon Stanford UCLA USC Utah Washington SEC: Alabama Arkansas Auburn Florida Georgia Kentucky LSU Mississippi State Ole Miss Tennessee SWC: Arizona Arizona State Kansas State Missouri Oklahoma Oklahoma State SMU TCU Texas Texas A&M GROUP OF 5 CONFERENCES: AMERICAN: NORTH DIVISION: Army Boston College Connecticut Delaware Maryland Massachusetts Rutgers Syracuse Temple SOUTH DIVISION: Charlotte East Carolina James Madison Liberty Louisville Navy Old Dominion Virginia Wake Forest MAC: EAST DIVISION: Akron Bowling Green Buffalo Cincinnati Eastern Michigan Kent State Marshall Miami of Ohio Ohio WEST DIVISION: Ball State Central Michigan Iowa State Minnesota Northern Illinois Northwestern Purdue Toledo Western Michigan MWC: EAST DIVISION: Air Force Colorado State Montana State North Dakota State South Dakota State Tulsa UNLV Utah State UTEP WEST DIVISION: Fresno State Hawaii Nevada Oregon State Sacramento State San Diego State San Jose State Washington State Wyoming SUN BELT: EAST DIVISION: Appalachian State Coastal Carolina FAU FIU Georgia Southern Georgia Tech Kennesaw State UCF USF WEST DIVISION: Jacksonville State Middle Tennessee State South Alabama Southern Miss Troy Tulane UAB Vanderbilt Western Kentucky C-USA: EAST DIVISION: Arkansas State Houston Louisiana Louisiana Monroe Louisiana Tech Memphis Missouri State Rice Sam Houston State WEST DIVISION: Baylor Kansas New Mexico New Mexico State North Texas Texas State Texas Tech UTEP UTSA
