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.

      What?!?!?! Chark's 1,000 yard season was 4 years before he played for us and he only had 525 yards in 15 games as our #1 WR.  Dude has 3,100 yards in 7 seasons, he's the literal definition of a JAG and you think he is better than half our current WR room? T-Mac is literally already better than Chark was at his peak, which again, was years before he ever even put on a Panthers uniform, and there is a real argument to be made that XL and Coker were both better as rookies than Chark was for us in his one season here.

      Im glad we're starting low. It's nonsensical to put us at 28 IMHO based on objective things IMHO (I think 21-24) is far more appropriate but whatever. Washington was at the bottom last year FWIW.  In 2003, Sports Illustrated said our best chance to win the division was to transfer to the ACC. In 2015, everyone wrote us off as a team that snuck into the playoffs with a losing record in 2014 and lost our best WR in TC (Kelvin Benjamin). All these videos are fodder for conversation, but this prediction has no more validity than saying the Panthers are making the SB bc we're starting the season against the Jaguars again. If Bryce plays like he did down the stretch we will end up the season just fine. This roster is much better than it has been the last 2 seasons. No one knows who any season will ultimately end up, but this team is finally being built in the right way, and the idea that this roster can't compete this year is as insane as being it was when we were gaslit in 2023 that we were a rookie QB from winning the division with that roster.
