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
