It's become painfully obvious that Steve Smith...

...Just isn't the dominant receiver that he used to be. From the playoffs last year to the first two games this year. Case in point: the 4th down interception. Old steve smith would have easily come away with the ball the way it was placed in that one-on-one coverage.

Couple that with the drops, the deflections that have led to interceptions, and his inability to get separation in one-on-one coverage. Steve's best days are behind him.

I know, you'll say, "but his statz!"

Target any other starting caliber receiver in the league as much as we do to Steve and they get identical numbers.

Either he's lost a step or he's half-assing it out there. Knowing Steve, it's probably the former.

Smity was open, Jake threw it too late.

The coverage was good, of course he threw it too late. 3 years ago smith would have snatched it easily for the first.

I'm not saying smith isn't better than average. Just not dominant anymore.

I think he's getting beat up too much, and we put too much of our passing offense on his shoulders. He's a small guy to begin with, and he's in his 8th year now, and he has had major injuries before. Throwing more to our TEs should help him and Moose, and getting Jarret more involved is vital too, so we can develop HIM. We have other weapons, but they're no good to us if we don't use them!

maybe its the fact that hes lost some "chemistry" with delhomme, doesn't trust him much anymore.

Remember the catch by smitty in the saints game last year? The one where Jake chucked it up and he caught it in double coverage. THAT was "old" SS as you would call it. are you telling me he lost a step within two weeks?

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By bandu · Posted

      there is one common denominator in the 2003 & 2015 Carolina Panthers teams they both had ELITE top tier Qb play.  it would require a MVP type of season from Bryce Young to have the same type of success that Jake Delhomme had in  2003 & or Cam Newton in 2015 & lead this team to a SuperBowl is this going to happen or is there any reason to believe Bryce Young is capable of playing similar to Jake Delhomme in 2003 or Cam Newton in 2015 ? well no there is no absolutely NO reason whatsoever to believe that this is going to happen in 2026 ..just saying

      Trevin Wallace - One Final Shot...or is Cherelus someone to watch?

      By CmC2k · Posted

      I'd actually like to see Cherelus get a fair shot to win the job in camp. Wallace is decent in drop zone coverage, but he gets abused in the play action game and is often times out of position in the run game. It might just be me, but I swear every time I watch Wallace play, I see multiple plays a game were it looks like he's just trying to be blocked. Watching Cherelus last year he at least looked like he was trying to hit someone on every play. Wallace plays like a LB who doesn't trust what he sees and it makes him passive and cautious versus Cherelus who regardless of if his decision is right or wrong goes at it 100%.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      Agreed.  Hasn’t happened to me either, but I feel very strongly about it.  That’s not just one of the worst things a woman could do to a man, it’s a power inherent to only women and is one of the worst things a HUMAN being can do to another.  A man can’t “hide” a pregnancy or maternity.  It’s impossible.  And that sucks for anyone that has to go through that. I always got a weird vibe off her and just found her very unlikeable.  Annoying even.  I’ve always been good at reading people and there was just something about her to me that was off-putting, somewhere under the surface.  And here we are…  she is despicable.
