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.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
