Happy 36th Birthday Smitty

There is a big difference in being an incredibly competitive athlete on the field and being a complete dick and douche off the field.

 

You do not have to be a douche to be competitive.....too bad Smitty is both.

 

 

did you play football?

Steve Smith, straight up the reason I started watching the Panthers as a NC native my junior year in high school back in 2002. The GREATEST PANTHER, and my all time favorite player. Hell I still find 5'9" receivers on Madden to sign, and give the number 89 to and eventually develop into my #1 receiver lol. 

 

I tried to trade for him but the Baltimore user in our league wouldn't give him up. Hopefully we can find another player with his flair, and passion for the game. No one IMO even compares, Smitty was/is/always will be that dude! HBD!

Happy Birthday Smitty! I am a little late. I didn't realize he is only 36. I was thinking older but nonetheless happy birthday. I loved this guy intensity on the field. If this guy didn't play with a chip on his shoulder, I doubt he would have been as dominate as he has been. I recall meeting him right after the superbowl loss in winston. I travel with a few buddies to the dixie claiss fairgrounds to meet him. I was expecting a complete jerk from what I had read in papers but this guy was the exact opposite. He was very humous and signed everything we asked him to. As a side note, Rucker is one of the most laid back and gentle guys that I ever met. He was there as well and he was so humble and friendly to us.

I have a measure of respect for Smitty for what he's done for the franchise and that will never change. However, I'd have even more respect if he didn't burn his bridges here, if he were more of a team player in the locker room, and if he didn't catalogue every incident that someone talked poo to him and proved them "wrong" as he perceives it and went on social media to rub it in their face. It's like that's the only thing that motivates him at this point.

    • The good news is that we are pretty uniquely well established to address all of our needs this season. We have $14m real cap space, and something like $40m in trade deadline cap space. Not sure exactly how that works out. But, we have the room to absorb any bad contracts. With recent rule changes regarding retention, that went into effect this season, we now have a huge advantage in the trade market.  On top of that, while we do have obvious needs, we also have a glut of talent in certain areas that we struggle to find ice time for. We are over-stocked on scrappy talented lil-guys, strong defensively sound 3rd liners and shutdown left shot dmen. Whether it's a package or separate deals, idk. But, one of each from Stank/Blake/Nads, Erob/Carrier/KK/Jank, and Walker/Nystrom; throw in some 1st round picks (and frankly any other prospects they want) and we should be able to come out with a 1b to pair with Bussi and either a 2c with size or a 2c and size.   TL/DR We got the money, you got the stuff?
    • I don’t  think 6’4 was ever considered small or undersized. Baby hands tho, yes that was his thing That’s an interesting idea, like an optical illusion? Sounds like you have personal experience with this! 
    • in the 25' draft the Carolina Panthers had hired Brandt Tillis someone who actually understood how to build a successful team & build through the draft .  this team was yes mismanaged for years prior to Brandt Tillis joining the team in 25' & rarely done anything right in the draft outside occaionaly getting lucky on an UDFA such as Jalen Coker who's dad coincidentally happened to be a huge Carolina Panthers fan, hint hint  ...just saying
