I hear him. But now imagine Steve Smith the player playing with a QB that can't effectively throw a ball on an NFL field more than about 10-15 yards. How patient is that gonna look?

We saw that in 2010. It wasn't pretty and drove Steve to be out the door until Cam swayed him back.

that was not him being bold, that was him saying it isnt teppers fault and for the fans to be patient

Maybe he actually believes that??? Maybe he is saving his own face for being all in on Young? 
Impossible because it’s different than what you think?

This.  And also, love Smitty, but he is an employee, and for much as I respect and love the guy, he never said a sideways word about Tepper or Rhule during the Rhule Era.  He is here for the entirety of every preseason, and he saw and knew the college poo that was taking place while Rhule was here and all he kept doing was pushing the same hype machine that our PR and social media teams push.  He didn't call the organization out for any of the poo he saw that he KNEW was unprofessional.  He essentially protects the brand.  And then as soon as it's safe to admit a mistake bc Tepper deemed it one, then he speaks out about it, just like he did with Rhule.  He's not going to put anything out saying "welp, Panthers Nation, we fuged up.  The coach is horrible and the #1 pick is a bust."  Tepper would have him banned from the facilities for life.

we could really need a player with Steve smith's attitude on the team rn

wilks brought smash mouth and physical mentally last season, this team is just too soft

now, we have:

  • burns too worry about his contract and being taken out by TE's
  • ickey's brain lapse penalty every week and getting beat by a 34 y/o safety
  • Ian Thomas out there like Hellen Keller trying to catch a football
  • Miles sanders dancing for 10 carries and 8 yards and then calling out fans for sucking
  • Bryce fumbling issues

I'm so tired of hearing about Wilks. He came from Rivera and you know how that ended. It would have ended the same way cause he's old and stubborn just like all these old heads. He also missed the playoffs when it fell into his lap. Y'all are looking for anything to justify what you're seeing. It's a rebuild. HELLO?

    • I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.
    • This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.
    • to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
