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.

      OK, I'll apologize...somewhat

      I mean, I think you're being a little hyperbolic with the last statement, but point taken.

      Pass rush was the biggest issue in tonight’s game, and we were tied for 28th in sacks this season. That is a major area of need that has to get addressed this offseason. I just don’t see a path where there’s a game changing QB you can bring in with where we are drafting and quality of veterans that will be available. We certainly can do better than Dalton as a backup, and should ideally have a developmental guy  (perhaps a day 3 pick this year). We have bryce for one more year on a reasonable contract and then I think 2027 is the year that you reset that position (unless he massively improves).

      Agreed, honestly basically bringing this group back as a healthy unit would be alright.  Brady Christensen should be resigned to a very reasonable deal with him recovering from the Achilles.  Atleast we're alright at 4 of our 5 spots with Lewis, Mays, Hunt, and Moton, Nijman was decent.  While if we can snag a deal on someone, take a stab, however our resources need to go to Linebacker, Pass Rush and a real option outside Tmac (coker is amazing, but if we can get someone who isnt braindead opposite Tmac, we can fully unleash Coker AND Tmacs full potential, cant move him into the slot if racoon boy is out there licking doorknobs).
