As of last game, Steve has caught 67% of passes thrown at him. Kelvin has caught 51%.

You make it seem like Steve is dropping passes left and right... he's dropped three passes. Kelvin has dropped one. And he has more catches on far fewer targets.

But this is also a direct correlation to Cam's accuracy issues, for example the times he overthrows Kelvin. Because those count into his targeted catch %. Just out of curiosity I wanted to know what Steve's % of caught targets were with Cam throwing him the ball

Steve Smith(2013) : 110 Targets 58.2 catch %

Kelvin Benjamin(2016) : 111 Targets 51.4 catch %

They look eerily similar.

This isn't to knock Cam or degrade Steve its just that going off of catch percentage can be a skewed way of looking at it, since the accuracy or inaccuracy of the QB plays a part.

? Wideout was arguably the panthers' biggest weakness last year. 

We had the #1 passing game in the NFL last season. Team chemistry was the team's biggest strength, which was able to develop only after Smith was cut.

#24 =\= #1 (yards per game). 

 

And even if the panthers were #1, a top ranked attack doesn't preclude improvement from the (re)addition of a stud player.

Hello, ACP here with my daily "y'all are stupid" comment!

Get over it and stop making threads about him.  We all like him.  We all would love him to still be playing for us.  But he's not and hasn't been for a few years now.  He's not coming back no matter how many threads you make.  Let it go.

My god, I think you guys would be making threads if he had retired a panther.  "If Smitty hadn't retired, we'd be in the super bowl!!!". "if Smitty comes out of retirement, we'll win it all!!"

Looks like he's hanging it up.

Longtime Carolina Panthers and current Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Steve Smith Sr. is ready to put up his cleats for good and walk away from the NFL.

The Baltimore Ravens were eliminated from playoff contention on Sunday and the following day, Smith announced that the next game would be his final game of his career.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
