This was 02 or 03. Smitty got into it with a backup defensive back. Think his name was Cordell Taylor or something like that. The offense stands on one side of the field, the defense on the other. From the defensive side comes the unmistakable sound of Jarrod Cooper's voice....

"Hit him again, Cordell! Shut up, Steve, ya bitch!"

Players laughed. Media laughed. The Panthers PR guy comes running over to Stan Olsen from the Observer, telling him not to run that. It was awesome.

Either that or 06...Stanley McClover was doing his barking thing. Ken Lucas made a play on a goal line stand and he started to bark. Stanley came over and Lucas set up for a chest bump....McClover pancaked him. Even the offense was laughing.

In 2002 he battered teammate WR Guilian Gary and put him out of football.

"This is the third-such incident involving Smith. In 2002, he was involved in a fight with rookie wide receiver Guilian Gary, who left camp after the incident."

"In 2002, Gary was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Carolina Panthers of the National Football League (NFL).[14] He attended training camp, but left after being involved in a fight with fellow receiver Steve Smith, who has a history of physical altercations with teammates."

Another thing... I find ironic how there's some guys that I'm sure have talked sh*t to Smitty that he hasn't punched out. Coop seemed like a pretty big, bad ass guy.

I'm not saying Smitty is a punk, but I think he's targeted guys he thought were weaker. Bright seemed like an easy going guy, trying to make his dream happen and seemed very humble and modest from the interviews the media did with him when we had brought him back to camp that year. He also, from what I remember was a pretty skinny guy.

Lucas, although I can't remember where I read it/heard it, some said was a bit 'sweet' if you know what I mean... Although he was a pretty sturdy looking guy, if that was the case, to a lot of people he would be seen as soft. His open field tackling the season before that didn't help his case either. On top of that, Smitty punched him from behind - pretty dirty move.

I'm just saying... You don't see Smitty in trouble for socking Buckner, Kemo, or Peppers in the face.

In 2002 he battered teammate WR Guilian Gary and put him out of football.

Wow, I had knew about ending Bright's career and obviously the Lucas thing, but I never even heard of, or at least remember the Gary incident. The other two incidents were publicized instantly, but I don't recall anything in print when the incident with Gary happened. I wonder if he actually got into a fist fight with him?

That as badly written as Steve did not have a bad history before 2002, did he?

Smith never showed a great deal of interest in his classes in high school and didn't take the SAT. By the time he landed at Santa Monica College, he was just as raw mentally as he was physically.

"Not long after he got here, I had to go to him and say, 'You've had three or four fights here in the last three or four weeks,' " said Taylor, his junior-college coach. "I had to ask him 'What's wrong?' He said, 'I don't know.' I asked him if he was mad at anybody, and he said he didn't know. I asked him why he was fighting with other players and he said he didn't know that, either.

"During his two seasons at Utah, Smith was known to get into fights in practice, and that behavior was followed by several publicized incidents in the NFL."

But what kind of fights were they? You get into an argument or a scuffle with a guy versus breaking someones face... different story.

Either way, it doesn't really matter to me. He has did a lot of stupid poo and is lucky to still be playing.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
