Steve Smith is on and I called in and got through . I mentioned the Carolina Huddle and asked if he would think about coming back to retire a Panther. He didn't really give a clear answer but I thought it was cool anyway . Shout out to the huddle!!

Unless JR passes away between now and Smitty retiring, he'll be back on a one day retirement contract if nothing else. If JR does pass away, all bets are off because he's burned a lot of bridges here. 

I'm one of those bridges. Before he left I knew he would come back and retire a Panther and that made me feel good. Then after all the crap he pulled and said I now just don't care either way.... and that's sad.

Then you never understood Smitty in the first place and didn't deserve him anyways.

I kind of expected Smitty to talk trash.  When has he ever not talked trash about an opponent?

I'm not talking about trash talk. Go back and look up the things he did last year. The subtle jabs at the Panthers when they were not the topic to that crap about Cam struggling in the red zone. We all knew he would trash talk and that didn't bother me he took it to another level. The problem is he isn't the first or last person to be cut from a team and sooooo many more people showed more class. 

It is what it is. I still love Beason of course he didn't show his ass though.

You wouldn't be upset if your family set you out on the street?

This is valid. But KMC's point is also valid because every fan of a team that isn't the Panthers hates Steve Smith. Just like we can't stand Richard Sherman or Colin Kaepernick or Russel Wilson. 

So it's understandable to love his antics while he is on your team and then loathe him after he isn't. Not everybody is necessarily gonna give him a pass based on "Smitty gonna Smitty".

And that view is wrong. The Panthers did as much for Steve Smith as Steve Smith did for the Panthers. They made a decision and it was a decision based Solely on Steve Smith and his actions. At the end of the day cutting Smith made the Panthers better (I don't think Benjamin had as good a season last year if Smith was on the team) and put the leadership into the hands of the man who the team wanted to be the leader moving forward (wasn't going to happen with Smith still here) 

But it also worked out for Steve who admitted he busted his ass to get in the best shape his been in in years.... "to show them". He played well and was on a team that made it to the divisional round of the playoffs.

No I don't feel bad for Smith (there's a reason we never developed a #2 under him and it wasn't all USC curse or Hurney's piss poor drafting) and I think as a fan I can be more grey when it comes to Steve. Its not black and white. I DON'T have to love him just because he gave us X-clown and played here (he got paid well to play here) but I don't hate him either. I just don't care if he retires here or not because of the way he handled things... which ironically gave me all the proof I needed to justify cutting him and moving on.

come on dude

there are players who are going to be cut from the panthers (and every other NFL team) in camp and the preseason this year that aren't going to be in one fiftieth of the shape steve smith was when he was released.  we've heard him make comments about the nature of the NFL being a business at its core but all that fell apart when the impossible actually happened to him.

I think th worst part for me is he said he was ok just collecting a check from the Panthers. Then when he was cut he played at a higher level. I will never understand how so many people were pissed at Peppers for the same thing yet Smith gets a pass.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      LOL! We have ourselves a funny one over here.

      Would you trade Derrick Brown to get a top QB prospect?

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      That’s why I love Jake and always will.  He was so fuging gritty and definitely was a gunslinger.  Like a not-quite-poor-man’s Brett Favre.  Like an economy version lol.  He was damn good.  Yeah, he’d throw a pick here or there, but more often than not, I trusted Jake.  He’d make some throws that really made you think, “damn, he’s even better than I thought.”  I loved that he loved to gamble, but more importantly, he gave his guys a fuging chance to make a play.  When people have been criticizing Tet for drops, it pisses me off, because they say it like these are some gimmes that he’s dropping.  but, at about 6’5”, if your whole body is moving one way and you have to stop or slow down to come back to a ball thrown behind you, or low, that poo is not easy.  Bryce isn’t really giving him a chance, and I can see why he’s dropping them.  Versus if you look at this highlight reel of Moose: at about halfway through is when Jake stepped in.  The passes he was throwing are CRAZY.  There’s multiple passes in there where he is throwing across his body while running the opposite way - and he still had the strength to get it on target.  Then there’s the throws where he lasers it in a spot only the receiver could get it - seam routes, out routes, over the top. The longer you watch, the more obvious it is that so many of these (what should be basic) throws are completely absent from our offense with Bryce.  There was a play today where he started to scramble, kept looking, looking, looking, then just threw it into the ground near the receiver.  Let them make a fuging play.  His best pass of the day?  The long one to Tet?  If you re-watch it. About 10-15 yards further downfield, XL smoked his man on a post route.  You get maybe 3 chances at that a game usually, and when you don’t even attempt it when it’s there?  That poo is so demoralizing.  I can’t wait for Bryce’s time here to be fuging over.  If they cut him tomorrow I would feel free.  I would feel like I just won the fuging powerball.  If they signed Heineke, Perkins, White, PJ Walker, or Hooker to start the rest of the year, I would be fuging ecstatic like we just trotted Cam out for the first time.  That how fuging life-sucking Bryce is as the QB.

      A historical perspective on just how statistically bad Bryce Young as a passer this season.

      Aren't they about the same size too? Why TF are teams all of sudden drafting these small ass QBs that have an EXTREMELY low hit rate at an already extremely low hit rate position?
