I was listening to SS on The Kyle Bailey Show yesterday, and he went off on Charlotte fans for them being down on XL and the team in general. Called Charlotte a “weak ass” city. I kind of get his POV as he saw it personally as a player, but damn, the fans can only handle so much losing. And yes, I am aware of my username, but I do actually like Charlotte fwiw

He speaks on it around the 8 minute mark.

Smith was a great player in the NFL but his opinions can be very hit or miss. It’s hard to defend XL’s numbers especially when our other first round pick is getting heavier coverage which should free him up. Effort shows on film and you can’t  deny that he has had lackluster blocking, route running, and most importantly RESULTS.

He needs to actually watch him play.

It's year 2 and they had to spend a top 10 pick on a guy who he could have been. Put up or STUF

Yeah, Smitty is talking as an announcer. Would Smitty have said that if he was playing on the same team as XL and watched XL kill a drive because he couldn’t drag his toe on the third step? I don’t think so.

89 has turned into a clown. 

Hit folks with the if you didn't play above HS level ball you really shouldn't talk about NFL players sucking lol.  

yeah, Steve,we will.  I bet if your insurance agent sucks butt at his job....you are going to comment on it without having your insurance license. 

I don't need to of played in the NFL to know XL isn't even meeting HS level expectations....walking back to the line in a hurry up.    I have known my share of NFL folks over the years.  They aren't all super humans w/ advanced football IQ brains.    Some are just insane athletes.  It's why the NFL career is so short. 

and don't get me started on the good ole boys club of coaching.  Just like everywhere else, lots of bad folks are working in the NFL because of who they know....just like literally every other profession on the globe.

XL's jaw would already be wired shut from when 89 broke it.  89 would have HATED XL. HATED.  He checks all the boxes of what 89 hated.    First round pick.  Commercials.  Money.  No play.

We root for players that clearly try and that show some potential. They don't need to be super stars even. Of course, when they show early potential (Coker) or are already making a major impact (T-Mac) we are pretty damn excited about them. And many of us made excuses for XL last year, but this year... Man, he's just not it.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By 52Beast · Posted

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
