Steve Smith Sr on Luke and TD

I spent a lot of time in the parking lot at work this morning (can't get online version)....with engine going.

He got a great call from an original PSL holder that spoke of getting stuff signed by Smitty and then sending a jersey by mail asking for a signature on a jersey for his son going to Afghanistan.  Smitty sent it and every time his son wore it over there he felt like he was back at home.  Smitty said it "gave him shivers"...

Another guy called in and took a lot of time to explain that he was a long time Dolphin fan that lives in Concord.... but he is "warming up to the Panthers" because his kids are big fans.  Then he went on to ask a question about the playoffs and winning teams.

Smitty responded, "well, first off.... as a Dolphin fan I can see why you don't understand winning football teams...."   People looked at me in the parking lot and thought I was having a heart attack I was laughing so loud.

Lots of calls from Panther fans but never heard anyone touch on in depth questions on why he was not re-signed.

You probably heard me too.  I think I was the caller after him, or the next...not sure.

    • To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever… 
    • Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.
    • The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
