Steve Smith talks some more


Kevin Greene

Recommended Posts

Whether he is buying the New Orleans Saints and their receivers:

“You don’t really have to buy anything. They are doing a great job. Great receivers? I wouldn’t go there. I am just being… Marques Colston is a good receiver but…Henderson, those guys got Drew Brees throwing to them. You don’t really…You sneeze good and turn around Drew Brees is really just square in between their numbers. I am not hatin’ but I think honestly I have watched those guys run routes and they don’t necessarily have to run the best routes because their quarterback is ridiculous.”

More importantly, IMO, he had this to say:

Whether he is going to be in Carolina in the years to come:

“My contract goes to 2012 but I also know that this is a business and it is not personal. Whatever happens happens. I am not saying that I don’t want to leave and I am not saying that I want to stay but it is really not up to me. I don’t really call the shots to that extent. I know I probably have six good years left in these short, squatty legs. I will see wherever God wants me to play so I am going to go and my family is going to come with me and they are going to be happy.”

...scary?!?

You would think that all of this type of press recently has sent a wake-up call to the FO. I wish we could just start posting the exact opposite of what we really think the Panthers should do so they could in turn, do what we actually wanted them to do. We pull a Reverse on'em. HAHA

What I don't get is how people act like he's the team's only hope. He's a freaking wide receiver, for God's sake. Mark Carrier was replaced by Moose as the go-to guy. Moose was replaced by Smitty. Smitty will be replaced by someone else, someone who doesn't punch out teammates and cost the team 15 yards in key moments of games.

Why would it be scary if Smith wants to leave in 3 more years after this one. At most he would have one or two years left and he will be going on 35. If he lasts that long it will be great. But given that he doesn't have the best physical attributes and has to do everything with sheer desire and fierce competitiveness, there is no guarantee in 4 years he will even be able to do half of what he does now. He wil have lost a step or two, a couple inches of vertical leap and may not have the fire he does now. By then we will ridden that pony as far as it will likely go.

    • I could be waaaaaaay off about Kon. I do fault myself into, to borrow a NFL phrase heavily "RAS" nerd on players, too much. There are PLENTY of athletic freak shows that are playing overseas(or Amazon delivery) cause they never figured out NBA ball. I can easily miss seeing the talent. Plus did he only have 2 dunks on the season??(is that for real??) I didn't watch over a few hours of duke, but not one point did I think "That Kon guy is a top 4 pick in the upcoming draft". IMO I still foresee Ball bringing the ball up, doing his weak isolation game and never even looking for Kon. That's his best trait according to everyone, shooting right? I do not see ball, bridges, miller or even williams making the extra pass to Kon for him to shoot a 3.  Then defense-wise, Im not ready to type the amount of questions I foresee in his ability for guarding NBA SGs or bench SFs for that matter. Not that NBA players care to defend, but still..... I just feel he's a bad fit for the current hornets, trades are taking place tho... Liam to me is a decent comp for Kon and he fell some, but was a 29 overall pick. Still around 13-21 was the good solid range for Liam and I thought the same for Kon. This is just a classic case of I need to see it. It add to this, Kon is like garlic. Ball is like sugar and Miller is like flour. Mix it together and chef Lee is not going to get me to eat that dish..... Honestly I don't know why Im this vocal about Kon. In past years I would be patience and not post and see what the kid has. The other side, insert classic white boy terms here- _____, ______, _______< etc >. Hornets do desperately need them. His crafty back door cuts, his willingness to stay a extra 2 hours to refine lees plays, keep playing with bruised limbs. I heard from many reports he's mentally tough and hornets by all gods need that. God they are such pussys.  I hope Im wrong and if so, I will give Kon his just props.
