Decent read from USA Today - nice to get some national exposure.

"Life is a process," he said . "You've got to look at what things are important, how you've handled things, how things have transpired. I've never been afraid to admit mistakes. Some people may say he seems like he's always reflecting. I'm just telling how I feel and it is the truth.

Tuesday at TC, after it ended, all the guys walked out at that far corner.

We were standing further down the field towards the hill behind the fence watching him talk to a couple coaches for about 10 mins. We figure he would just get up and walk off, but he immediately walked over and started signing autographs for people.

Even had a little bit of conversation with us, talked to me about my official playoffs growl towel I had him sign. He said "man, this old school". A couple of us in the crowd said things along the line of yeah, but we will be back there very soon and you will be a big part of it.

He said earlier he was sorry for being an ass and I think he's really making the effort to pay attention to the fans and get back on the right track with the team. I have a feeling he's going to have a very big season.

Why revel in what could have been? Winning is going to be easier with 89 around... I cant wait to see what hes going to do... Smitty has always been good for a bailout throw from Jake, like to see what he does with Cams arm. I never really watched Cam, but watched some highlights, kid's got a cannon. Should be an exciting year...

Smith always starts off the year with the best of intentions. Lets see how long it lasts this time. He is always reflective in the offseason andat the beginning of the year. But his competitive fires end up interfering when things start to fall apart.

Just sayin................

have you ever seen him break up a fight before?

take the player to the side and calm them down? be the voice of reason?

just seems different in a great way

He has done that one of the last two camps. Can't remember who it was between.

Would love to have seen what he could've done with better QB play.....unfortunately the front office never bothered to give him that luxury....

Can you imagine his career under like a Brady or a Manning calibre quarterback? Geez, he's a beast and did it almost all on his own. I know that I'm beating a dead horse and this has been discussed several times over the years so take it easy on me.

And to think, this guy was told that he'd never be anything other than a kick returner. Did someone actually say this? I'll bet those words were eaten along with a lot of crow.

Smitty is and will probably always be my favorite Panther. He just needs to get back into the game and come out firing. It usually takes him a few games to really get into his groove. I am praying this year that he breaks off something big against the Cards. Don't they know that CATS eat birds?

Hopefully we can eat another bird in our division twice this year. Even if we don't win another game, I want to beat Atlanta. I can't stand Mike Smith but I do have alot of respect for Ryan and Gonzalez. Although I don't consider Gonzales a real Falcon.

Yep. He's a leader butr needs to lead by example. It pains me to say that because I love the guy. All of these kids drafted during SS's tenure have always looked up to Smitty with an "I want to be just like him" mentality. He's usually the first player that they talk about. Rookies love his spark...unless he's giving them poo about their mistakes.

      Wild Idea.. Trade for Shemar Stewart

      By PNW_PantherMan · Posted

      Poverty franchise behavior.  If you don't like him as a 3rd rounder then why'd you draft him there?  As others have said, they likely found out some new information and have buyer's remorse. Our FO didn't give DJ Johnson a hard time for being a bad pick.

      Wild Idea.. Trade for Shemar Stewart

      Best I heard its a clause the bungals want to add. It prevents them form paying the full guaranteed amount if triggered. No one knows the details of the clause, but guesses are it relates to off-field stuff. Stewart is in the right here. Before they signed burrow, chase, and Higgins they were the cheapest team in the league bar none. Unlike tepper or jarrah Jones or any other NFL ownership, all Mike brown owns is the beagals. Every other owner has many other money making businesses, not bungals.  I still remember when Brenston Bunker was starting on WFNZ and he told the story about the beagals telling him to pick a used cup form a huge pile, LOLS! They been on hard knocks and I remember Marvin lewis telling the players not to take home Gatorade bottles........* but in that case, I believe some players were taking a back pack and filling it up with drinks. Still you make millions(around 200million) in net profit and Im sure coke gave the team those bottles, still... Its a 32 team billion business, someone has to the cheapest.....Panthers were around the next cheapest team before tepper bought them and he has POURED millions upon millions into the team. He bought a bubble that Richardson never would, so the team had to gather in a old building during the rain. He spent millions on coofus machines that he just gave away like the bubble. Tepper made that AC trailer a thing. I've trashed him about his concerts and taking away end zone seats from fans. But the guy will spend money any way in efforts to better the team, dang I just remembered the deal he gave Rhule- more than Andy Reid at the time.  I know results have not came, but Id 100% take Tepper over Mike brown as a owner.

      TIME TO SPECULATE

      By PNW_PantherMan · Posted

      There's no way they're shipping you some uniform you haven't seen lol.  I feel like they'd just refund you and ask if you wanted the new one when it launched. Probably just making the blues the primary, or a new helmet for a new alternate/variation.
