Steve Smith Makes It Clear - HE Will Choose Who He Retires With

Per his Instagram. You know I'm not big on Smitty talk in the Panthers forum during actual football season, but being as this was recently discussed by the MFCEO himself here, I felt it was worth a discussion. 

Smitty being Smitty. Seems he may have heard enough of this retire as a Panther talk. 

I'll always love Smitty for his contributions to this organization, but if he definitely dances to the beat of his own drum, which can rub people the wrong way. 

 

Discuss.

I'd say it's more Smith focusing on his team now than his retirement "later".

Also, I don't really care if they do the P/R thing and he "retires as a Panther". Dude gave his blood and sweat to the team and the fans for over a decade. I don't care if there's a one day ceremonial circle jerk about that.

My feelings exactly. I started a post the other day about Smitty's greatest moments bc I wanted to reminisce about them as a Panthers fan for a great player.

But I have moved on and support this team, this coach, and this GM. Whatever Smitty does from here out is mostly irrelevant to Panthers fans outside of him potentially  making the Hall of Fame.

Smitty is wired differently. Joe Montana, Emmitt Smith, Brett Farve, Peyton Manning, Jerry Rice, etc. all finished up in different places, and it wasn't their choice. That's the way life usually goes. And all of them had at least decent years playing for other teams. Sometimes decisions to move on just have to be made. And it was time for Smitty to go here.

If Smitty wants to be bitter in the end so be it. He gave us 13 damn good years.

At this point I hope he retires a LA Dodger. That's the only logo he's got tatted on him. But in all seriousness, I've never understood the big deal about a guy signing a meaningless 1 day contract. Hooray! He signed our paper last! It might actually mean something if these guys played "one last game" with the team of their choosing. But if you're asking me if I'd get excited over him saying "well guys I just thought I'd take this time to thank the organization for yadda yadda yadda" then no, it's not that big of a deal. He's only going to do it if he gets some sort of apology from Gettleman, and we all know that's not going to happen. Both were too hard headed to co-exist, and neither are going to budge for a PR happy ending.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
