Throwin’ it back to the day when 89 officially became Fred Smoot’s Father. 

2005 Smitty was the best Smitty—productivity AND theatrics.

I was lucky to be at that game.

He will be our first drafted HOFer.  I would love for anyone to tell me a tougher WR.  5'9" with the biggest chip on his shoulders than any player I have ever seen.  Stiff arm that is legendary and was not going to be denied.  

I miss him and loved watching him play.  He was one of those players you held your breathe because you knew something was going to happen when he touched the ball.

Love Smith.  Most dynamic Panther ever.   What’s always missing from his highlight reals is all the quick 1-2 yard out passes that he would then take it to the house.   He did that often and I think it was either the ‘03 or ‘’05 season he did that like five times.  I want to see all those again.

Nearly every time he had a chance to get the ball in his hands, magic happened.  Dude was an unrelenting monster on the field and made sure he outplayed everyone.  Can you imagine if Smith was, taller, bigger and faster?  Thing that made Smitty special was the chip on his shoulder from constantly being told he would not make it in the NFL ( too short, not fast enough ).  Smith took it upon himself to prove everyone wrong, every single play.  Even when people were telling him that he was the best in the game and possibly one of the greatest of all time, it still was never enough for him. We will never again see a player with the ferocity that Smith brought to the field.  How people call themselves Panthers fans and somehow hate Smith is beyond me.  Dude had anger issues, its well known but its part of who he was and what made him so great on the field.

I don't hate him but the guy was a poo teammate despite being one of the best in the game. He was no different than any other superstar WR with drama.

You must be from the crowd that isn't even old enough to know about greatness of number 89 and say things you have no clue what you are talking about.

Difference with Smith was that he wasn't looking for the limelight just because, he was trying to win. A lot of times he was the only one on the field who seemed to give a damn. He was a bad teammate to Ken Lucas for sure, but most of his "drama" was just trash talking opponents and calling guys out for not doing enough.

This.  He was actually the opposite of the typical drama queen WR.  I think he just played with a lot of passion and practiced the same way.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      By Rocky Davis · Posted

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
