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!

      ESPN’s recent grades has Charlotte with a B. I haven’t paid attention to any others really.

      Player Led culture vs Staff Led

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      It’s simple. Win and everyone in here will say the culture is good. Dear lord the amount of time spent on these posts is hysterical. We’ve seen the end of season swoons where you can tell the team had given up with many of the same leaders that took us to playoff seasons. When your OL is decimated by injuries, it’s amazing how fast culture turns. When you get on a tear like 2015, everyone’s having fun. You need the right people regardless, but they have to win.

      Player Led culture vs Staff Led

      By panthers55 · Posted

      The difference is about how much player input is allowed and encouraged in the decision making process. Top down teams tend to dictate to players how everything is handled. Disagreements are handled by the coach and players are expected to do what they are told regardless of what they think or feel.  Players are perceived as commodities to be used until we find better. In player led teams player input is encouraged and valued. Players and especially leaders are expected to settle their own disagreements and be accountable to the team but mostly to each other. Players are family to be appreciated and supported in their growth. Is the reality of football the same in both? Yeah there are limited positions, football is a business and winning is the bottom line. Coaches get final say and run the program because that is their job. But in player led teams they feel valued, appreciated, part of a larger whole. Most people who have worked at multiple jobs know exactly what I am talking about. When players try to run the show and don't value  coach input that isn't a player led team, that is a circus which we surely are familiar with in our past.
