Interview with of Steve Smith at Wofford wish I could embed it but dosen't look like I can so here's the link. Basically the same things that were tweeted earlier except directly from Smiths mouth.

Says that he's ready to put his "old body" to work. He and Cam practiced together as recently as last Friday. Can't wait to hear reports from how everyone looks tomorrow on the field!

Thank god for Cam Newton. If it weren't for him Smitty would be gone IMO..

I think that is totally true. If Clausen was going to be the starter I think Smith would have left to go elsewhere. He believes what many of us do which is Newton may take some time to learn but he is going to be great down the line. As he said earlier, football players can look at another player and know if he has it or not. Newton has done all the right things including working out with Smitty on the QT.

The fact Smith and Newton have become buddies tell me a lot.

Newton is serious about being great.

Smitty doesn't reach out to just any rookie like that.

Im getting unrealistic expectations now... :lol:

It boils down to respect. Jimmy never got Smiths respect not even from day one and it only deteriorated as the season progressed. Jimmy got smaller and smaller in the locker room and in the spot light and Smith could run all over him as we saw last season. Say what you will about Cam but I guarantee that he won't be getting punked by Smith like Jimmy was last year. Nobody wants to play for a punk

      The question is which Bryce shows up game 1. Do we get week 2 (2024) Bryce, or week 18 (2024) Bryce?  I will say that his progression after the benching last year was amazing. He literally got better every game - sans Dallas. Like every week he did something we hadn't seen him do before. And it wasn't luck, toss it up for grabs plays like Penix did against Carolina. Penix was just throwing the ball as hard as he could in the direction of a receiver and hoping they'd make a play for him. What we saw from Bryce was different. Decision making, reading defenses, recognizing blitzes and where they were coming from, knowing his hot, avoiding pressure and manipulating the pocket, throwing with anticipation, taking shots downfield, and running the ball surprisingly well. Stats don't always tell the story. Did he miss some throws that he should have made - sure did. But the clutch gene is strong with this one. One score game and Carolina has the ball with 2 minutes on the clock - I'm confident he'll give them a chance to win more than he doesn't.

      I really like David Moore. He's a reliable WR. Smart, doesn't drop the ball and he's where he's supposed to be. Now, he ain't gonna route up a DB. He ain't gonna 50/50 ball a DB. He ain't gonna run by a DB either. But he runs a good enough route and catches the ball - definitely an NFL average WR. Every team could use a David Moore. Now if this receiving group can force Dan and Dave to let him go, then this team has come a long way since 2023. A LONG way. But I will say that Horn's speed is a big deal. They don't really have another guy with speed and quickness to blow the top off the defense and make guys miss in space after the catch, though he is still a rookie and hasn't done it in the NFL. If he and Renfrow push Moore out, then we might actually have something gents. Plus I see Renfrow as Thielen's replacement in 2026. I just don't think Coker is the reliable, move the chains guy like Thielen. Could be wrong.
