I think he is most upset with being a legit WR threat in an offense with no veritcal passing plans. Whether that is Davidson's elementary offense or lack of faith in a QB who knows. I suspect some of both. As long as you have Fox, Davidson and Delhomme I can't imagine attacting or retaining any FA's to come to Charlotte. But yea Smith is a hot head. Has always been a hot head even though he managed to contain it some.

A few? Try half a season. With no end in sight either. The only way they are trying to get him the ball is on screen passes that the entire defense knows are coming. That's his biggest problem with everything. They are trying to get him the ball by being the most predictable team in the NFL.

They threw him a deep ball late in the game. Smitty never even looked up for it. They threw him a ball where he gained 10-15 yards in the first half. He yelled at Davidson never to call it again.

His mind is not with this team any more. Which is a shame, because not too many teams would have given him as many chances as the Panthers have.

I agree with you, but from his perspective he is on the backside of his career and he is a guy who loves to prove everyone wrong, and he has the worst starting QB on a one dimensional team, would you be frustrated?

The throw down the field wasn't even close to where he was running. He looked up for it, and it was over the other shoulder by 5 yards or so. Had they both known it was going to that shoulder it would have been a catch. Don't know who to blame there.

The pass he was mad about was like a gain of 5 wasn't it? It just had a personal foul tacked onto it. And it was yet another screen pass just to get Smith the ball.

And I don't really know what you are talking about with "chances". He's been one of the best receivers in the NFL for quite some time. And now we can't get him the ball, we are losing. It's as simple as that.

He's punched out teammates on at least three occasions that I know of. The last one had the defense talking about payback in training camp. Would you get away with punching a coworker once?

Every time someone else on the team gets a big contract, Smitty goes into one of his snits.

He's talented enough that you could get something of value for him. The Panthers aren't going to the Super Bowl this year, with or without him. Send him somewhere else and fill your locker room with players who want to play for you. Fox proved in 04 that he can win with backups as long as they're all rowing in the same direction.

By this thought process, Fox has also proven he can't get to the playoffs without Smith.

But if we get rid of Smith, is Jarrett now our #1 receiver? You want a less-than-average QB throwing to what appears to be a draft bust? I dunno about that.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
