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.

      Clark played 2 seasons in college and had a grand total of 1,340 yards with 6 TDs. T-Mac had 1,402 and 10 as a Sophomore and 1,319 and 8 as a Junior in one less game since they didn't make a bowl (not to mention his 702 and 8 as a Freshman). Chark's only 1,000 yard NFL season (which was only 1,008 yards to begin with, and only 3 games over 79 yards that year) came in an offense where the only other non RB's in the offense to have more than 35 targets were Chris Conely (90 targets for 775 yards) and Dede Westbrook (101 targets for 660 yards).  His 2nd best season, his competition for targets was Keelan Cole Sr (88 targets for 642 yards), Laviska (79 targets for 600) and Conley again (63 targets for 471). Beyond his 1k season, he had seasons of 706, 525, 502, 174, 154, and 31 yards, despite being the #1 WR on his team for 3 of his 4 seasons that he had over 174 yards. Any 1st round WR should already be considered a better WR than that, let alone one taken in the Top 10 and has the college statistics that T-Mac had.  Had we traded back and taken Egbuka or Golden, I'd still be saying the same thing about them vs Chark, this has nothing to do with my personal love of T-Mac.

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      I'm not sure his idea of us being 28th at the start of the season isn't wrong. It's hard to project who we are based off the fact all the rookies we are depending on to contribute but know nothing about. we don't know what derrick brown looks like week 1.. hunter renfrow t-mac,legette, and our tight ends. we are going to have two new starting safeties no matter what. I think it's hard to know just which way the dial can swing on this roster.

      That's certainly what we hope but c'mon... stating it as fact when he's never played a down of NFL football?
