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.

      Draft Week Rumors, Leaks and Media Draftniks Final Mocks

      By Panther53521 · Posted

      After watching Dan for 3 yrs now, I think I understand his plan. It’s a simple plan that should work for the long run.     I saw some of this last yr. Dan wants a vet and a young player at each position. I really think we go OT if one they like there. Moton is aging, Icky will not be back until 27, if ever. We need to get ahead of the tackle problem

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      You are just stressing too much about these particular positions. You want to upgrade from Bryce and I understand that but you aren’t going to really get that without getting into a bidding war for a QB2 potential QB1 like Willis. You could possibly trade for Mills or the backup for Chicago but they are still gambles and their teams will won’t decent picks.  Again the Eagles thought KP was a capable enough backup to trade for him once their backup was hurt and won a Super Bowl with him as QB2. The point is most teams aren’t rolling with some stud QB2/3 that is going to push even a bottom tier starter. They are better off the building their roster in other areas. The Rams are rolling with Bennett right now as QB2 for example.  The goal is winning absolutely. We overachieved last year even with stumbling into the playoffs. Another year and this staff needs to take the next step in building a team. Will Grier has little to no impact on that….

      Three straight first round WRs is straight up Matt Millen poo. Considering the draft capital we have tied up on Bryce after that trade we would basically have spent damn near all of our draft capital in recent years on QB and WR just to put one of the most anemic passing offenses in the league on the field. Clown show poo.
