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.

      He's handing off play calling duties to fuging Brad Idzik as well so, either that mouth breather can run the playbook and Canales can grow as an all around head coach or it will be a horrible decision and both of them and BY can screw off. I'm fine with that as long as it isn't just another excuse for BY to get another year with another coach worthy of working around his limitations as a qb.

      Not only for Andersen but the whole team, having not beat the Habs this season before tonite.  Shows them that they aren't jinxed.

      I understand why people say things like it could be worse in relation to Tepper but it just doesn't jive for me. Are the optics bad? Yes. Would I want her to be the owner of my team? No. But I mean she's only been owner for a year and the Colts overall are a better run organization. As far as I know they've also never had the distinction of having the worst win percentage in all of professional sports either. Tepper has owned this team for 8 years and about the only thing that has been consistent has been the ability to continue to find different ways to achieve new lows. Even now people are saying things are different yada yada but we said these same things at certain points under Rhule Fitterer and Reich. I'm going to wait to see how the rubber meets the road this upcoming season before I make any strong conclusions about anything in relation to the longevity under this franchise going forward.
