It isn't that surprising.

Pep is a first ballot HOF like he is, and probably the defensive counterpart Panthers GOAT.

Moose/Proehl were his positional biggest/best supporting cast/mentors in his career here.

Suggs got the Baltimore nod that he knew he'd have to throw in there.

Olsen was vocal and fiery when people didn't get their stuff together/know what was going on on the field, just like Smitty.

Gross was his teammate at Utah and they go way way back.

Hard to pick 5 for anyone.

He didn't pick Cam the same way he didn't pick Jake. I ain't mad at him for it.

When a legend (GOAT WR IN NFL HISTORY) talks, you listen and appreciate it.

Would have liked to have seen Jake, but did it to probably not stir up poo with Cam. Surprised to see 

 

Surprised to Olsen and Suggs so high as he only played with them for what 2 or 3 years each?

Note that the question asked him to list the best players he played alongside. Being a great “teammate” in the locker room/leadership sense is only one aspect albeit one Smith would have a unique perspective on. Love Jake, but I think it’s fair to say he wasn’t of the same caliber of talent as the rest of the list.

nothing surprising about that list.

keep in mind, these are his top 5. i'm sure his top 10-15 would include some other names that people think should be there.

...and I seriously doubt newton would make his list at all. two different personalities from two different worlds. i just can't see the two of them being anything other than cordial to each other.

exactly, and on top of that he was only with cam for what 3 seasons? he'd probably put jake in over cam since he played with jake longer.

      He'd be a huge upgrade for this year, but we're still not going to be contenders with him and I'd rather keep the cap space to roll into next season to spend on a younger player who can be an impact starter for us for the next 3-5 years while we're hoping to contend.

      Because playoff hockey and regular season hockey aren’t the same thing.  It’s a combination of the game intensity being dialed up with loose officiating.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      The last 8 weeks, Nix had 2,022 yards, 21 TDs, 6 INTs on 70% completions While Bryce's last 8 games he had 1,709 yards, 12 TDs (albeit adding 5 more rushing), 3 INTs on 61% completions. I'm not going to pretend I watched those Broncos games to know exactly how Nix actually looked, but in retrospect, his statistics were better.  Hell, in just his final 8 games, Nix had only 5 less TD passes than Bryce has in his 30 game (28 starts) career. And you said he had better WRs than Bryce did, but I'm not even sure that's even true either. Sutton and Thielen might be completely different types of WRs, but I'd say they are pretty equal on effectiveness if not even a slight edge to Thielen (63.6 YPG for Sutton to 61.5 for Thielen).  Then XL and Coker vs Marvin Mims and Devaughn Vale, again, at worst a push, if not lean in our favor there too. Why is it so hard for some Panthers fans to just objectively look at our team/Bryce and be honest with themselves. ? He was significantly improved the final two months of the season from his first season and a half.  But he was still a below average QB during that time, even if he had a few good throws and clutch moments.
