Steve Smith in Melbourne Australia at the Aussie Open

Was watching some Australian Open tennis on ESPN (about 2am Friday) and they were showing American and fellow North Carolinian (from Greensboro) John Isner's match and they cut away to his cheering box and did a quick interview of Steve Smith. Throughout the match they would show him also. Apparently John Isner is a big Panthers fan and Smitty is a Isner fan. Few days ago Terrell Owens was in Australia also supporting Andy Roddick.

Don't post ever, but read alot -- just thought I'd share.

Thats kinda weird, both Smitty and Owens in Austrailia, watching tennis.....we just hired Buffalos WR coach......hmmmmm. Not trying to start any rumors here, but do you think its a plot to get T.O. to play in Carolina?

Oh man that is quite a thought u got goin on there buddy. Much better than mine. I thought Smitty wanted to get traded to the buccs b/c of the colors he is wearing there or even worse, he is wearing Atlanta gear, maybe he would rather play there. What ya think? As long as we get TO, who cares right?

well, not too keen on the idea of Owens ever playing for the Panthers, but not so much worry about Smitty. He is always rockin a Braves hat....

Just thought it was kind of weird and all, nothing to get worked up over.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
