Steve Smith out for season with torn achilles


TN05

Recommended Posts

Final stats in 7 games were 46 receptions for 670 yards and three touchdowns. Average game: 6.5 catches (second-highest in career) for 96 yards (third-highest). As it stands, both are far and away the highest per-game averages of any player 36 or older. 

Harbaugh seems to think Steve will return. I hope so but I don't see it happening. Achilles tears are brutal.

I don't see him returning just because he's already expressed his desire to retire.
Achilles are no jokes, esp for a WR that depends on speed, cuts, and agility.

However I could see him not wanting to go out being carried off with a towel over his face (though he'd said many times he feels he'd have to leave the Panthers kicking and screaming with them pushing him out)

So who really knows.  Just know I'm thankful for his years as a Carolina Panther. One of the best to ever do it.

Peter King and Jason La Canfora are reporting he is leaning towards coming back for one last year.

Godspeed, Steve.

That is one crazy mofo........if he proves me wrong than he will be the GOAT at WR, to come back from such a debilitating injury that even younger athletes struggle to ever get back to 80% of who they were.  Ice up Smitty!

    • Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"
    • Yeah your right the owner was copping hand shandies while all this was going down 
    • I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
