Cam Newton & Steve Smith Sr. break the silence after 10 years

Whether it was Smitty or Cam, Gettleman should have kept Smitty on the roster and play out his contract. I think the 2015 team with Smitty on it would have probably gone undefeated and we would have won our 2nd Super Bowl visit. 

Worse than letting him go was he never address bringing in a Stud veteran WR.

I wish Cam had asked Smitty if he was on the roster in 15, do we win the SB?

I imagine we would. Smith would make Talib his bitch and the NFL would have given us leeway with the officiating having a legacy vet like Smith on the team vs the Manning retirement narrative.

They tried. KB and FunFun were thoroughbreds. KB took over that national championship game with Jameis at QB. Up until spring training of 2015, KB was him. He wasn't Steve Smith, but he was who we drafted him to be. And then, he hate the guy he was supposed to be.

If stories are true, 89 was not allowing Cam lead the team. His prickly attitude and personality was growing old and was a distraction. It was addressed but nothing changed. He was being difficult and there are reports he was not supporting his young QB. It was Cam or 89, and the Panthers correctly chose Cam.
