That was an awesome interview!

Smitty: "#22 had something to say to me..on the field..so, a lil' youngster"

AC: "What did he say?""

Smitty: "Ahh, you know just telling me who he is, so I had to establish the rules and regulations of the game..."

AC: "Which were...?"

Smitty: "Which was 89. Bottom line..."

I think its a classic...

I loved the way Smith just stared at Andrea Kremer after saying "89."

It was so good to see Smith back to "his old self".

When will these players learn that trash-talking Smitty is about the worst thing they can do?

Smith attitude is something Carolina needs as a team. That competitive fire, that desire to prove oneself again and again is what makes him our star player.

On the other hand, our team and the high character players we have retained have been exactly what Smith has needed over the years. Without the likes of Kasay, Fox, Hoover, Moose and others, Smith might have been out of the league the first time he punched a teammate.

Hope he stays with us for a long time, for his sake and ours.

Did anyone else notice that after Smith finishes and sprints off towards the locker room, the aforementioned "#22" for Minnesota goes by in the opposite direction towards his locker room. Almost as if he hung around to get in a parting shot to Smitty. Or could be a coincidence.

I love pointing out meaningless poo.

Smith isn't the best. With respect to sheer talent, I might take Moss, Fitzgerald, Andre Johnson or CJ in his stead.

He is grossly underrated by most fans, though. If he played for any major franchise, he would be pampered by the media.

wow ur not a panthers fan and a fool. pound for pound i dont care what arguement u make smith is the best wr in the league. smith has put up numbers on par or better than those people with jake delhomme. did u hear me i said JAKE DELHOMME!!!!. but on the real if u go catching,leaping,catch in traffic,production,after the catch,speed,ect u ll see that smith is better overall than the kids u named.

Personally I think Smith and Andre Johnson are the best. Both can make just freakish plays. I don't think Fitzgerald is one of the best at all really I think he's somewhat overrated. Every one got on his jock in the 08 post season. If he was the best than he should be close 2000 yds in a season with the type of offense they have in ARZ.

CJ is probably the most talented and will be the best in the next couple of years.

In judging how good a wide receiver is, it depends almost as equally on the guy throwing him the ball. In which case, Smith is easily arguable the best. Half the guys you named have questionable hall of famer QBs, I wouldn't even count those.

If Smitty was the #1 receiver in the Patriots, Cardinals or Texans offense, he would be putting up absurd stats. There's no doubt in my mind that if he was in that kind of system with a top tier QB throwing him the ball, he would outdo Moss, Fitzgerald and AJ in every statistical category. As it stands, however, he's here in Carolina, in a run-first offense with a slightly above-average QB (and before him, the worst QB in the league), constantly underrated by everyone outside of Carolina. I sure am glad he's here, though.

Yup. Just imagine if it was Smitty instead of Welker that Brady was throwing to. No knock on Welker, as I think he's as tough as they come, but the ways they find to get Welker the ball makes me wish we could do the same for Smith. He'd be back to leading the league in every category in no time, heh.

      How many Qbs can you name better than Bryce Young?

      By CRA · Posted

      I don't need that many words to say Bryce Young has not yet surpassed the caliber of QB play that current Joe Flacco represents.   I have watched every game Bryce has played.  He doesn't give you average QB play.   He can't make a ton of throws.  Bryce is consistent overall in what he is.  You can take outlier games on both ends of the spectrum out of play and judge him or any QB.....for Bryce it is unquestioned bottom of the league play.  All you have to do is watch the two play.  Flacco is good enough that if you can keep up right and give him time.....he presents a level of play Bryce can't do as a passer

      Not sure.  Which ones have more GWDs in the same time frame?

      You kinda gloss over this, but this is really at the crux of this whole argument....which Flacco are we talking here?  You bring up that he played with 3 different teams but ignore the fact that his performance varied quite a bit from team to team. 2024 Colts: 65.3% completion, 12 TDs, 7 INTs, 220.1 YPG, 7.1 Y/A, 90.5 rating 2025 Browns: 58.1% completion, 2 TDs, 6 INTs, 203.8 YPG, 5.1 Y/A, 60.3 rating 2025 Bengals: 63.4% completion, 12 TDs, 3 INTs, 290.6 YPG, 6.8 Y/A, 96.2 rating 2025 Flacco (Browns + Bengals): 61.1% completion, 14 TDs, 9 INTs, 252.0 YPG, 6.1 Y/A, 80.8 rating vs. 2025 Bryce: 62.7% completion, 14 TDs, 7 INTs, 196.2 YPG, 6.2 Y/A, 86.0 rating I bolded the comparison that I think objectively makes the most sense...just simply comparing the two QBs for the entire season.  Otherwise you'd be cherry-picking Flacco's time with the Bengals and ignoring his earlier stint with the Browns, which sounds an awful lot like people cherry-picking Bryce's stats in the second half of last season. So again, which Flacco?  Basically the only thing consistent with Flacco across each of these teams was his W/L records: 2-4, 1-3, and 1-4 respectively.  I'd say if we're comparing each version of him to Bryce this year: Colts Flacco > 2025 Bryce, Browns Flacco <<< 2025 Bryce, Bengals Flacco >> 2025 Bryce, and 2025 Flacco < 2025 Bryce - Flacco this year only beats out Bryce on YPG but in part because he throws significantly more passes (almost 60 YPG more than Bryce, despite a lower Y/A which is pretty telling) .  Flacco is maybe the most apt case study about how important a QB's circumstances are to his success.  He was easily a bottom 3 QB in Cleveland and arguably top 10-15 in Cincinnati...and we're talking about the same player from the same season.  All that happened was taking him from one team and plopping him onto another team; nothing inherently changed about him as a QB.  Funny enough I think that's all that one dude on here was trying to say when he made that long poorly-received post after having an epiphany working for PFF behind the scenes or w/e.  That it's largely short-sighted to just try to evaluate QBs in a vacuum when there are so many variables at play that ultimately decide whether a QB is successful or not.   I think Bryce has been mediocre at best this season and I'm ready to move on regardless of how he ends this season - I'm highly skeptical a strong end to the season will carry over into next year considering how last year ended and this year began.  I would certainly agree that he's a bottom-third QB this year.  I just don't understand you scoffing indignantly at anyone holding the opinion that Bryce has had a better season than Flacco...I can only assume it's recency bias.  Or maybe you know the stats don't support you, which is why you're conjuring up the god-forsaken arbitrary "eyeball test" which is the kinda thing people in here were saying about Fields for years, pinky promising that he really truly was a franchise QB despite his awful stats.  Perhaps it's called the eyeball test because I roll my eyes anytime I hear someone bring it up seriously as an argument.
