What Do You Think About Steve Comments

“It’s bittersweet,” Smith said quietly as he headed for the shower. “We get the win, but I have a limited role. So, obviously, I see this game as showing I’m no longer an asset to this team.”

“That’s all I got,” Smith said. “My name’s Steve Smith and I stand by that.”

It was his least productive day since Dec. 24, 2006, when he was shut out during the Wildcat game at Atlanta, when they only threw seven times.

He was asked after that game if he was surprised not to be more involved, and he simply said: “I don’t know, go ask the coordinator.” Then he headed for the bus, adding: “I’m going to enjoy Christmas.”

I predicted 2 years ago that Smith wasn't going to take this lying down.

He isn't happy, and has not been for some time for this very reason.

It's like wasting a fine wine, and that is exactly what is happening to him here in Carolina as bad as I hate to say it. The writing has been on the wall for quite a while now.

Jake's friendship aside, this has the makings of turning ugly unless there are some DRASTIC changes made....and soon.

Steve's a competitor. He's frustrated after the game (and yeah, he should be).

But if we keep rushing for 250+ yards, teams will have to loosen up on Smitty. I still say we should throw the smoke route or quick slant to him at least once a half, and use the reverse or line him up in the back field at least once a game. Give him those 3 extra touches or so and he'll be a bit happier, and will make something positive happen on all of them...and he's liable to break one off.

But either way, he'll be fine by Tuesday's practice. Just post-game frustration.

      One man’s trash…

      Pretty sure Tepper wanted BY regardless of the coach. Unfortunately for Panthers fans. I am confident Reich did not want BY.

      Bills predictions

      By strato · Posted

      Prediction? We likely lose.  Maybe look okay doing it.  It could be different with some turnovers coming to us.   In general I don’t have the same faith in what we will get from Andy that I had in the week three games of the two previous years.   I was very confident as to what we would see last year vs the Raiders and was validated.  The patchwork OL worries me, in pass pro, with him being old and creaky and not exactly being ‘cat like’ in his escapability. And somewhat concerned about his arm strength. I mean in general, I think he could still be ‘as good once as he ever was’ which is a huge upgrade from Bryce.   But it is still another year of aging and at some point it’s over… people say it is for him, I haven’t seen enough of him this season to say otherwise.  Add the fact that they are generally a more seasoned and tested team than we are, players to staff. I am skeptical. But that is why they play the games, we don’t know for sure.
