The Best VINTAGE Steve Smith Highlights


The Huddler

Recommended Posts

Youtube is saturated with beast smitty Highlights, but past his prime..

I present you with a highlight real that showcases what Smitty was in his prime..  when TV was a square, and not a rectangle..  When making ESPN's Monday Night halftime highlights was making it big! I have been searching and searching for Vintage Smitty highlights, and this Vid delivers, and what better time to share than after he was inducted into the Hall of Honor!!

 

(looks phony, but man, is it nostalgic) 

 

 

 

 

*Fun fact no one cares about: ..  I first witnessed smitty halfway into his prime.  I can declare my first conscious season as a  Panthers fan watching all 16 games via new and innovative Sunday Ticket in 2007.  The 2007 losing season was my first season where im like .. "ok im a Panthers fan, im watching these games"..  in 2003 i was in 3rd grade and i remember rooting for the Panthers in the SuperBowl...  in 2007 Thats the year i was like "this is my team, my dad has sunday ticket *at the time was the utmost technology.. watch your team week in and week out?? yes please!!*  Im gunna watch my team!!"

 

well, my dad said if you get straight As, ill take you to a Panthers game..    well, I got straight As my 8th grade year, the following fall as a pimple freshman i picked the Monday Night Panthers vs Bucs in 2008 and holy fugIN ASHIT WHAT A NIGHT..

 

cool story brah?  meh story..   (10:40) 

 

Enjoy the Vintage Smitty highlights with no past prime bleeding in.. its Panther Fan Gold 

 

edit: I forgot to add...   when i first consciously paid attention to the NFL and made the Panthers my team, Smitty was in his prime and filled my eyes with wonder..  I have so much love fore smitty...  everyone has that childlike nostalgia and Smitty was mine...

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
