I’ve seen all offseason scouts saying not to even bother looking at his 2024 tape because he played injured all season and his 2023 tape is what to expect from him. Despite the injuries and other issues he still put up huge numbers this year so I think that speaks to the kind of player he can end up being for us.

Smitty lost credibility to me when he started kissing Tepper’s ass (and ring) to curry favor with the organization and exchanged his integrity in the process…  from co-signing Rhule until he was gone, to hyping up guys like Shi and Minho when the organization wanted him to.  I really dgaf what Smitty’s evaluations are anymore.  Maybe if he spent less time kissing ass and rearranging married women’s IUDs, his evaluations would be more meaningful.

I have seen some suggestion that T-Mac has issues with work ethic. I hope those reach his ears and he takes that as motivation to work extremely hard to be dominant. 


Him and Bryce will not get along if T-Mac is lazy.

I always liked Smitty he is one of my favorite Panthers but don’t care for his WR analysis or any thoughts on football he’s just not that good.  I remember when Larry Fitzgerald was a rookie, Smitty was on WFNZ radio after a game saying how he looked slow and wasn’t impressed. Needless to say Larry had an even better career 

He is rarely even coherent.  Smitty is a great Panther but not broadcaster or talent evaluator

He’s one of my all-time favorite players, but he’s historically been a pretty shitty person.  I had first-hand experience.  I trusted Smitty’s WR evaluations when he put his stamp on Cooper Kupp.  But like I said, once he started making evaluations of our players based on what the organization told him to say versus what he knew to be true, he lost all credibility to me.  And like I said, him toeing the company line about things like Rhule while he had a front row seat to see what a fuging joke he was but continuing to hype him up on broadcasts, all while taking cheap shots on easy targets like Joey Slye or some bottom of the roster straggler…  it’s reflective of shitty character.

Smitty has little man syndrome, even in his evaluations. It seems like every receiver over 6'2 he has to belittle or take down a notch. He is a classic example of not being able to take emotion out of evaluation. He builds up the little, tough guys because he relates to them. But he looks at the fluid, effortless big guys as being overrated or not hard working. He's usually wrong about a lot of his assessments because he can't get outside of his own head.

Smitty has a bit of the Chris Simms complex.  Became a personality, identified a mid rounder who became great (Kupp), and then ran on that juice for a while, as someone with that keen eye for talent.  But over time, the hit rate adjusts and you see he's not the best at it by any means.  And now they have a falsely built-up confidence in their evals and get all defensive about it.  

It's all good.  I hope McMillan proves to be a top-WR in the league and shuts these knuckleheads up.  Now it's time to get this team rev'd up for a big improvement year.

Steve Smith has a dislike of tall receivers. I feel like Smith's main purpose is to boost up small, lesser-known receivers.

Every time I've heard T-Mac speak, he just seems to have that it-factor vibe. I love how natural of a catcher he is. He's going to make some fascinating plays that's for sure.

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      The Carolina Huddle

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
