He's not a hybrid player. Too slow. Limited what the offense could do when he was on the field.

People don't like this being said because it doesn't fit whatever narrative they have going on, but offensively he just wasn't a good fit.

I've got my issues with the coaching staff and I'm no fan of Rivera, but this wasn't one of the things I had a problem with. 

And no, I don't have some axe to grind with CJ either. I was pretty neutral about him before getting here and was excited about the element he could bring, but when you look at everything the offense is doing and the motion and deception that's going on, it's using fast players that bounce around all over the place and CJ just didn't fit what was going on. 

Everyone on the field is a decoy and I'm guessing he didn't like being one of them and/or wasn't good enough at it. 

Either way, I don't think that it's all that big of a deal. The offense is built around Cam and CMC. You take one of those pieces out for very long and you have to scrap a major part of the playbook.

Could we have used a bruiser to get in the end zone those two times we blew it this week? Maybe, but I get the feeling what we did down there was more on Ron and what he feels comfortable with in those situations and I don't feel it was the best utilization of the talent we had on the field.

  So who is this “hybrid” player that we have now that can come in and spell CMC? One that doesn’t “limit” the offense? CAP? Seriously? 

  Name any available RB that fits better as CMCs backup right now. Considering we’re still paying him? Did we get better or worse as a team? And pay more for it? 

No narrative. Just questions.

      Steve Smith on Ron Rivera

      By strato · Posted

      He was saying Ron hid when he was cut/traded whatever that was.  I get being resentful, and feeling like that was gutless.  He, and Ron, neither are from the ‘breaking up with someone in a text or email is okay’ generation. That avoidance is seen as a lack of character.  Talking about it on camera how many years later? Why? And it is all one sided he said she said stuff. As he is speaking I am thinking well I bet that ain’t the whole story.    Between this type of stuff and him cheating on the wife stuff some of his shine is wearing off.

      Steve Smith on Ron Rivera

      By frankw · Posted

      I was very critical of Ron Rivera as a coach for a range of reasons. But Steve Smith has been playing the victim for years now and it's just not working anymore. We know for a fact that he was disgruntled from the moment we drafted Cam Newton because of his own ego. That says more about him than anything he could say about Rivera. And yes Ron Rivera had a lot of faults. No excuses for it. We were right to move on from him. But ultimately Steve Smith couldn't hold it together with that group the same as he struggled to hold it together under previous regimes. He needs to grow up and accept his own role in the last few years of his Panthers career because there are things he could and should have done differently the same as anyone else. Stop seeking to only shift blame to everyone else and evolve or just stop talking and fade away. This isn't helping anyone and it is certainly not helping his image.

      A friend of mine was involved in building Steve Smith's house and nearly came to blows with him during the process.  Love Smitty as a player, but I've heard very little good about him as a human being.
