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.

    • The blue line is a mess not collectively, but having to shuffle pieces just to get 3 D lines on the ice while playing three perennial contenders in 3 consecutive games without a break, there's not a lot of room for error.  Last night, there was literally not a single defensive pairing that had ever skated together before, either in the preseason or so far this season. 
    • Yeah, I am just looking at our pass blocking stats and the Texans stats being similar, but our oline is way better than theirs IMO. I feel like there are at least 5 times a game 3+ guys come free on a pass rush for opposing teams vs. the Texans. I can't recall too many times I have seen multiple lineman get beat/blow their blocking assignment on the same play this season for us.
    • I agree Someone like CJ who throws one of the nicest balls and throws with anticipation and everything you want just protect him. He has Nico. All other resources should’ve gone into the OL Now with that said I don’t think Young’s numbers would be very far off from Stroud’s had he gone to Houston  I mean since the whole CJ giving Caleb that post game speech their numbers are pretty similar if I’m recalling correctly
