Speaking of the guys who call Panther games: Steve Smith, Sr.

Gotta figure Jim Szoke probably gets the first shot at that job (and deservedly so) but you never know.

I remember liking Zarzour when he was on WFNZ. Unfortunately, he was partnered with colossal dickhead Marc (with a 'c') James.

Jim is good in pre-season but he is best as color guy IMHO.  Taylors play by play delivery is smooooth (so much better than Mic).

I haven't heard any of Zarzour's play by play at least not that I recall.

I did think he was good on WFNZ though.

Szoke is as knowledgeable and has seen as much if not more live Panthers games than anyone.  He has a wealth of experience to draw from and that's why he is best suited as someone to discuss the team not necessarily call the games. I've interviewed Jim myself and hes a natural radio talent.  It was so much fun picking his brain for the 30 minutes he gave us.  Good guy too.

Smith is a goober-head of a person, but I think he will tell it like it is---and that is great for preseason.  I liked Rucker, fwiw, but he was nice all the time.  Smith is likely to be more candid.

One thing that bothers me about some recent players who hit the booth:  They tend to relate everything to their situations.

Rucker was awful in the booth

I was not a Rucker or Donnelly fan at all, rucker did get better after a few years. I got no idea how smitty will do, hes hit and miss on NFL. His timing, wording, and delivery are his issues. I do like his real comments, hes still rough about waiting his turn and getting mush mouthed. Smitty sorta reminds me of Shaq, who is too thinned skin to be around the goat Charles. How will smith react when someone questions his statements live or when he is incorrect on a players name or just making live mistakes in general ??...hmmm Smith is the type that wants you press his buttons or he doesnt respect you, Jake did and they got along great. I never get along with those types.

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
