Steve just keeps losing points with me over the years unfortunately.  I know it is probably an unpopular opinion around here, but I don't mind taking heat for my opinions.

Loved the player, not terribly fond of the person.  He’s better at a distance.

I never thought steve the "man" was a person to look up to but Steve the "player" to me one of the best WR to ever play the game

yeah on the field dude was an absolute monster and is IMO a top 5 all time WR. What he was able to accomplish in his career with the QBs he had and literally never playing in a pass-first offense was unbelievable. Also set the tone for winning and actually giving a poo about winning -- something I cannot say at all about our passive fuging players the last half decade. 

Luke was actually very similar in that regard (on the field). The difference was Luke could obviously just immediately switch personalities into "normal person" mode and Steve can't. Based on everything I've seen he's a douche off the field but still one of my top 3-5 favorite players of all time. Nothing he does will change that.

Steve has trouble being reserved and hiding his faults.  Doesn't excuse a single thing he's done regarding fighting team mates or cheating on his wife but it does make him human.  He faced the consequences of those actions and there's a lot of room to argue he caught off lite in some instances. 

Doesn't make him the devil nor should he be considered a Saint.  I don't know the dude but he's brought me a lot of happy times and good memories as a Panther fan.  I wish all of the people I looked up to or admired didn't do things that are bad but as an adult I realize that isn't remotely realistic.

    • It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.  
    • Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.  
    • I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
