At the risk of beating a dead horse, as of late with the Football Life special I've seen a lot of comments about Smith and whether or not we should have let him go. I know this might be a fodder-ish thread but I'm just interested in the numbers when there's a thread with an actual poll.

Take into consideration that it's now an actual quotable fact that he and Cam had some issues, but do you think those could have possibly been fleshed out with time and the maturation that Cam has underwent? Participate in the poll, post your thoughts. Or just tell me the threads trash. Either way.

89 was spectacular to watch on the field. His mastery was....masterful. Getting to see him on the field made the losses palatable. But football is the ultimate team sport. From everything I've seen reported it seems 89 could not put the team before the I. Thus he had to go by he wayside. I hated it then, I dislike it now. But ultimately we had to go with a more team first approach. Thus he's no longer with us.

 

thats how I see it anyways. Count it worth a hill of beans.

I do wish that 89 could fit in with this team, yes. Unfortunately that's not a reality. Hope he signs the 1 day contract to retire a Panther officially, but I also kind of hope he postpones his retirement a little longer so he can get to #2 all time receiving yards behind Rice. Definitely still has it in him if he wanted to play through 39 or 40. Bet he retires after the year though as he's been saying.

    • Facts it's still crazy that they made him sell over that especially considering what some of the other owners have done.  JR was a rich 80 year old white man from the south I'm not at all surprised about him making some "inappropriate" comments about what a woman is wearing water is wet what a surprise. That's just the way things were done during his time, and he should and did get punished for his actions by paying some hefty fines, but it definitely wasn't something that he should've been forced to sell his team over.  I'll never forget him insulting Peyton Manning during a negotiation, reportedly belittling the quarterback’s knowledge of player safety and asking, “Do I need to help you read a revenue chart, son?
    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.
