Ray Lewis has a statue, and he killed a guy.

Peyton Manning has one, and he flashed his pecker to an athletic trainer at UT.

It's not a testament to moral character.  It's a symbol of the most bad ass person the franchise has ever seen.  In Carolina, that is Smitty.

Put his statue right next to Jerry's in the dumpster.  Steve's career wasn't even an issue of on-the-field performance vs. off-the-field issues.  This dumbass was beating down his own teammates on the field and in the stadium.  Absolutely no reason to honor a guy like that.

i am actually glad he does not want to come back and "retire a panther"....keep his dumb-ass away from our team

I personally agree. Great players do not get a statue. Great LEADERS do. For all the 89 was, a leader he was not in terms of TEAM play! Let him get into the HoF. That's enough for him. Statue at OUR stadium after he retired from another team? No way man. 

Some of you ride 89 way too hard, and speak to how mediocre we have been over this years to add that fool a statue.

Baltimore can have him.  They already seem happy honoring a murderer, so what's a guy who likes to sucker punch his teammates?  Why would you honor someone like Steve Smith when you'll have guys like Thomas Davis, Julius Peppers, Cam Newton and Luke Kuechly soon enough? 

No one is debating his performance on the field, but you're 100% correct in that you can't take the man's statue who built this franchise from the ground up due to his lack of character and morals but then give Steve Smith a pass.

      Canales Addresses CB position

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I think they are holding back to see what they have in the young guys, but I think it's a near certainty at some point they will bring someone else in. Right now (assuming we keep 5 CBs which is normal), the top 5 IMO are: 1) Jaycee Horn 2) Mike Jackson 3) Chau Smith-Wade 4) Shemar Bartholomew  5) Akayleb Evans   Obviously Jaycee is the alpha in that room and paid as such. Need him to stay healthy and continue to play at a Pro-Bowl level. Mike Jack did pretty well all things considered last year, and they gave him lower-level starter money. Fair deal for both sides.  Smith-Wade showed some promise as a slot CB. I think low-key he's a lock for the team. Different size and skill set than the other CBs. Shemar Bartholomew was the most sought after waiver claim last preseason. Was 5th CB most and inactive most of last year. Had a few defensive and ST snaps. Nothing of note good or bad but too small a sample size to make any judgment. Akayleb Evans was a 2022 4th Rounder for the Vikings. Has started 19 games (including Week 18 for the Panthers) in his career and played in 43. Was pretty good in 2023 before getting injured and falling down the depth chart last year. There's some other guys on the outside looking in, but until they show more in training camp I dont see anyway they make the 53. And only Jaycee, Mike Jack, and Smith-Wade are locks to make this roster IMO.

      Houston Texans... You Suck!!!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Was just reading the Ask the Old Guy story on the team's website and was shocked to see that only two 2nd Rounders have signed so far, 30 of them haven't. That isn't normal, the Texans really screwed things up for the rest of the league, no other explanation that I can think of for 30 of the 32 picks to still be unsigned at this point.

      They need to address CB before season starts. This is not going to cut it.
