Steve Smith takes Cam over Tebow anyday.

Count Panthers receiver Steve Smith among those who aren't fawning over Denver quarterback The Golden Calf of Bristol.

While acknowledging The Golden Calf of Bristol's run of fourth-quarter comebacks, Smith said he'd still take Panthers rookie Cam Newton over The Golden Calf of Bristol any day.

“You can't compare Cam to The Golden Calf of Bristol. I think Cam's a more complete player,” Smith said. “The Golden Calf of Bristol has the wins. But everybody wants to crown The Golden Calf of Bristol. Yes, he has the will to win. I think The Golden Calf of Bristol is no different than any other professional. But The Golden Calf of Bristol has a great opportunity to play behind a great defense.”

Smith also took exception with characterizations of The Golden Calf of Bristol as a versatile quarterback.

“Versatile would mean you can throw the ball very accurately, run the ball, create things. And the only thing he's creating is running,”

For anyone asking him to compare Newton and The Golden Calf of Bristol, Smith had this response: “Come check me out in five years, jack, and you'll know who's the better quarterback

Hmmm

That is the second time in less than a week that it suggests Smith may want to play for five more years. That is largely due to his rejuvenation under Newton. I seriously doubt that he would be very excited to be playing with The Golden Calf of Bristol. And he would be nowhere close to 1000 yards.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I feel the same way. Bryce hasn't proven himself to be so good that he would clearly lap anyone that we'd bring in the compete for the starting job. I think the team is actually afraid to do that. If Bryce goes down does anyone think Kenny Pickett is solid option to replace him?. We can control him for 2026 and 2027. The problem is 2028. Unless he takes a massive leap forward ability wise, I don't see how Carolina can justify paying B.Y. $50 million a year. So far, Bryce has not shown that he can CONSISTENTLY carry a team. He needs to be carried by a strong offensive line, running game, pass catchers and a respectable defense. If he's lacking any of those things I don't think we can make the playoffs in 2026/2027 unless the NFC South is as bad (or worse) than 2025. Unfortunately, athletes and agents have EGOs! When he has a chance for a 2nd contract his management team will probably insist on a "market deal" and feel insulted if they don't get one. That leaves a couple of options if his play hasn't significantly improved. 1) Let him walk and test the market. 2) Franchise him for the 2028 season if you're still not sure about what to do. 3) Extend him to a team friendly deal that pays him below the "current market" which would allow the team to continue to build a solid team to support him. 4) Over pay him and pretty much ruin any chance of becoming a consistent contender. The last option is the LEAST DESIRABLE ONE. The 2026 season is a pivotal season for Bryce and the Carolina Panthers. The success of the next 5-7 years could ultimately be decided on how well plays the next 2 seasons.

      Drake Maye ended up putting almost 300 on them lol. Bryce was stunned from the beginning to end. I know that's an easy comp for the Bryce truthers but no one else put up those puny QB stats against them all season long.
