Why can't we hold opinions about a player and his stance relative to the rest of players in the history of the game without being called a "hater."

Honestly, ask yourself this question: What Panther fan could really HATE Steve Smith? The truth is for a small handful of years he was the only thing to even like about the team. No one here is downplaying his significance to the franchise. No one here is claiming he hasn't had a GREAT career, or isn't the greatest Panther of all time. But, I don't think Steve Smith is a lock for the Hall or even a first ballot guy if he does eventually get in. That doesn't mean I don't want him to get in. It doesn't mean I don't think he should get in. But it does mean I look at the guys he's competing against (those who are currently eligible), the guys he will be competing against (retired in the last 5 years or will retire in the nearish future) and know he's fighting an uphill battle. 

The league's conditions have just produced monsterous talents at the wide receiver position. Steve is no exception. But please remember that just because we're honest about the current climate doesn't mean we dislike Steve any less--even though he's given people every reason to dislike him both while he was here and since he's left.

That is all. 

why would you want to read somebody's well-informed, nuanced opinion on something when you can just call them a name and be done with it

Still trying to figured out how some translated Smith's hate for getts into he doesn't give a poo about the panthers or fans, he specifically called out the two people he was pissed off with, he never said anything bad about the panthers,jr, or the fans. 

 

also i've said for a long time the whole smith doesn't teach young players is a myth,and there are article to prove otherwise

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
