I mean if we're talking straight mass it's not a hard hole to fill, 5'9, roughly 190lbs. 

Smitty plays like he's 6'5" though. 

I have no hate in my heart for him. 

I will be at his hall of fame inductment ceremony, but I would pay big money just to see him play one more snap in a panthers uni.

STEVE SMITH A FOOTBALL LIFE

From 1935 - 2005 there are Fifteen members that have received a Triple Crown award as a wide out. Steve Smith is on that list out of 73 years of players awarded. As a Carolina Panther he is on that list. So, I don't quite understand your point.

Are they gonna talk about how him and Cam butted heads and that's why they let him go?

Thats what I read earlier today. 

They did.

Gross and Proehl talked about it.

They basically said Cam would keep messing up and Steve was not going to tolerate it. That led people in the team (Probably Gettleman and Rivera) to believe the Smith would hurt Cam's emotional growth.

The show made it look like Delhomme could handle Steve and Cam was unable to lead Steve and the offense like Delhomme. Gross and Proehl made it appear the team was coddling Cam Newton as though he had a fragile psyche that Steve Smith would break.

I was always of the opinion that if Steve Smith does not make you a better player, then that means something is wrong with that player and maybe they are not mentally tough enough for the NFL. In that case move on.

I think Cam would have developed the same, if not better, with Steve. Yes, it may have been rough for Cam making all those mistakes, but at least someone would hold him accountable. I do not care who the QB is (Joe Montana or Cam Newton), a good/great WR must be able to hold their QB accountable in game and in practice. If the QBs feelings are hurt from their WR holding them accountable, then tough. They need to learn how to lead a team.

Good gosh In one play Steve blocked Von Miller better than garbage Remmers has ever in life. Lord if we could have had Steve instead of Jericho and Remmers we would have won the super bowl no question emoji30.pngemoji30.pngemoji30.pngemoji30.png

you missed the part where the panthers lost that game by like 20 points and steve smith stomped all secondaries to help the panthers finish 7-9

one of the most annoying things people do here is take our team in any given year at face value and adding somebody to the top of it and that's automatically supposed to have gotten us 2 or 3 more wins, or 24 more points in the superbowl, or the construction of additional pylons. this completely ignores every other intricacy or facet to the game that doesn't get translated into a number on nfl.com and limits every discussion to stat-whoring and over-analysis.

you guys have the evidence right in front of you where teams that bring in a ton of players don't go anywhere and it happens every single season and every single season you guys still make the same fuging points. so the 2015 team could've looked entirely different with steve smith on it. but no, the chips do not fall exactly the way they did the whole year, except smith adds 900 receiving yards and turns aqib talib into a sock puppet in the superbowl and also neutralizes von miller by just staring at him the whole game. that's not how the fuging game works.

I love me some frash, but him on the subject of Steve Smith is like TonyN or Grits discussing Cam Newton.

Meh.

sorry dude, smith shackled this team for years while he was dancing all over the field. he bullied receivers, basically emasculated one of the coaches, punched teammates, and got away with all of it basically because he is manipulative enough to fall into favor with ownership (his meal ticket).

I don't honestly disagree with a lot of that. But what's done is done. His time as a Panther is cemented, good or bad.

What baffles me, through all the things you mentioned above, he was still all but worshipped here by fans at the time. But fast forward to now, if Newton so much as frowns in a press conference, it's the end of the world. Funny how things change.

My advice is don't watch Smitty's HOF acceptance speech. Doesn't sound like your kind of party.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      He had games where he was a top 10 QB that week, vs Saints, Falcons, Eagles, Chiefs, Bucs.  Amazing performances that I think show what he can do consistently.

      We both know there's more that goes into batted passes than just the height of the QB. Most people here have readily acknowledged this and there were numerous discussions about it before we drafted Young. But if you are presenting a POV that Bryce's height hasn't tied to issues with his footwork then there's nothing anyone is going to be able to say to sway you and you know this. Even beyond the footwork I recall a redzone play where Bryce couldn't see around his right tackle at all where a receiver was waiting practically alone in the end zone for a touchdown. There are real world circumstances that are going to show up over the course of the upcoming season and it's up to Bryce and Dave Canales to make adjustments and do anything they can to mitigate negative instances and yes that begins with Bryce's footwork again. Thanks for your time. Have a nice weekend.

      I'm arguing that should those supposed deficiencies, like height or pocket footwork, be as consequential as you and others have claimed, then there would be a clear, observable impact in the data. That's not unreasonable. For example, batted passes are often used as a size-related concern (see: Baker Mayfield), yet Bryce ranked among the lowest in deflections at the line. If his stature is such a limitation, why isn't it showing up there? Or are you suggesting that's why his passing yards fall short of your expectations? If the latter, I would hope that you're not discounting yards left on the field due to drops (of which he led the league in).  Also, asking for specific, measurable benchmarks isn't aggression... it's accountability. If that feels uncomfortable, it might be worth reflecting on how much of your anti-Bryce argument is grounded in subjective perception rather than objective metrics. So, again: do you have any specific KPIs beyond total passing yardage, height, and weight that you consider relevant to evaluating whether a QB is top-10? If you want to add YPA and passing yards per game to those metrics, that's fair, just be clear about it. But let's not pretend that asking for clarity is some kind of provocation. I'm simply trying to understand the actual criteria... not just the vibes.
