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.

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov  
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
