if steve smith wants to leave THEN LEAVE

who gives a crap,we didnt win anything with him.yes he was and is still a good receiver,but he has attitude problems and to move forward in this organization you can't have veteran players acting like assholes every time a rookie makes a mistake. trust me you have all seen it, he has made is share of mistakes over the years too. throw in a whole new coaching staff next season with probably another rookie qb, new plays and terminology and basically steve smith will be just like a 35 year old rookie.if he wants to leave then leave. all i know is at the end of the day players come and go. somebody wore #89 before steve smith (rae carruth) and somebody will wear #89 after him. the logo will always remain,real fans will always remain.

:willy_nilly: goodness. He is playing like an a**hole?? I am not sure what games you are watching but Smith still seams to be playing is heart out, I still see him blocking on run and pass plays not thrown his way, and he has pretty much kept his mouth shut despite the fact this team has had ZERO QB play and a horrible offense for almost two season's now. In addition this whole "he wants to leave" is still pure speculation.

If he leaves he is abandoning the fans and team that made him what he is, an awesome ballplayer. We stood by and supported him during his shortcomings, retire a Panther Smity.

I don't really disagree, but I can't fault the guy for wanting to win now - his window is closing. It's fairly clear that Carolina is at least year or two away from being back to truly competitive (although I do believe there is a LOT of talent on this team) and I'm sure that Steve wants a ring. I would miss seeing him in a Panthers uni, but it's not like he'd be LeBron-ing the Panthers.

I mean really I cant blame the guy. We are having a bad year. I mean every other team in the league never has a bad year so Yea he should want to be traded. We are going to suck forever now so whats the use of having Smith. Dear GOd whY Do wE SuK sooo MuCh........

Yeah lets just get rid of anybody who shows any emotion or acts like they give a damn that they are losing. Everybody on that team is an adult and they need to take responsibility for what they are doing. Jimmy is sucking and needs to know it. Dont baby an adult. If he needs a bottle on the field then hes the one that should go. Sure smith has done some stupid things but not nearly as bad as Vick and theres lots of retards on here that want him here. He tortured dogs and drowned them and all that other crap. cmon now dude. so smitty punched somebody. big deal. its a physical emotional game. We need more people like him. Not just a bunch of robots who go through the motions.

Yea New England gets rid of guys with this talent every season, I mean its not like anybody is going to know who he was in 15-20 years... The honorable thing to do is retire a Panther but go for it Smitty, whatever.

    • 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.
