Looking for opinions from those who saw it.

Smith was, as always, himself. His opinions were unfiltered, his stories were interesting and his football insights were... insightful.

On the downside, I'd like to think he had a roster sheet available to him but he kept getting player names wrong. Heck, he credited one play to Lano Hill (Hill was waived last Wednesday). Taylor Zarzour had to uncomfortably correct him a number of times.

Overall I'd say good, but also needs to work on a few things.

Right before the game started he talked about the preseason practice and said we won on Wednesday and lost Thursday.  We lost on Thursday is correct but we won on Friday.

I enjoyed Steve #89 

looking forward to more air time with him, he gives a player perspective many broadcasters lack. 
 

his honesty is appreciated. 

And, other than getting some names wrong, he was crazy smart, and had insights all over the field, not just WR.

My favorite quote from yesterday, "that flag is for being stupid!", against a Colts DB.

Noticed this but overall this is acceptable (to me).  Would rather have the occasional mistake with brutal honesty than polished empty commentary. I thought his announcing was raw and honest.  Overall he gave praise and criticism when it was needed.  He does seem to have a soft spot for Grier which I found interesting.  I don’t think he went so far to make excuses but did go in-depth on occasion to not heap blame on him.   Overall very refreshing.

I liked it. A lot of of honesty. You could tell he had his roster favorites but that's alright.

Our broadcast was much better and much more honest than the Colts'. If you were Colts fan taking their commentary to heart you would expect a roster of all future HOFers and would experience grave disappointment at anything less than an undefeated SB season.

You also have to take into account that 2/3 of the players on the field yesterday don't even make the team, let alone get meaningful snaps.

I loved it.  All kinds of grace for whatever slip ups he had in the booth.  I think its a good omen that he's there and its just great to have him back in the Panther family where he belongs.

Good OP.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      By frankw · Posted

      If you draft a guy who is healthy and has no concerns about that whatsoever and he goes out and tears his ACL in his first few games in the regular season on a physical play that's a freak accident. But when you trade up to draft an RB who is already rehabbing from a recent ACL tear and he spends the next several months continuing his rehab only to tear the same ACL again after less than a handful of regular season carries in a non contact circumstance that is no freak accident. That is a textbook example of why you do not do what we did. Particularly for what is now a plug and play position. And when you have the highest paid OL in the league over the next two years. None of that makes any logical sense. Legitimately it is and was some Scott Fitterer type foolishness. Now as for XL. The guy has not been committed to his craft. I think anyone with eyes on the situation can and would recognize that. However the warning signs were there. One season of legit production raw prospect that we knew would take time to develop etc. But Morgan and Bryce Young's own father were very high on him. I think in some capacity the reality of our limitation at QB is entering into the equation. Even TMac got a lot of flak over the course of his rookie season for not being able to haul in all of Bryce's passes. At the end of the day our fourth year QB also needs to do his part to maximize the talent we have available. As far as this year. Again. WR round 1 boils down to where are we going to get the touches for the rookie? That would require eating into not only our 8th overall picks touches but also our #2 WR whom oh yeah by the way was UNDRAFTED. I am happy to discuss WR prospects here. I was thrilled we invested what we did last year in TMac because it needed to be done and it made sense from all angles. But nowhere is it written in stone that you cannot draft a good or great WR outside of the first round. Except in the Panthers building apparently. That is not a good reflection on our scouts and front office let me tell ya. Because there's no way on this earth we are going to get back to relevancy and legitimate contender status if we can't pick some gems in the later rounds. Simple and plain.
