Do you feel that Steve Smith has wasted his talent here?

I mean, look at the QB problems we had before Cam. The demise of Delhomme, the underachiever in Matt Moore, the worst QB in Panthers history with Clausen, the horrible offensive coordinator in Jeff Davidson etc. Truth be told-- Steve should have hit 10,000 yards two seasons ago. Even though Steve is still a force now, it's a matter of time until father time catches up with him. So he could end his career with respectable career stats(probably not spectacular) without any HOF consideration.

Anyone ever wonder what could have been? I appreciate Steve's loyalty in staying here the remainder of his career, even though he had people around the league telling him to leave and Chris Harris/Peppers trying to recruit him to Chicago, he still stayed here.

wasted? There is no telling what would have happened to Smitty elsewhere, while Delhomme isn't Peyton he isn't Ryan Leaf. Who knows if Smitty would have ever even had any chance if he was on the lowly Browns.

If you think his career is a waste you have exceedingly high expectations.

Hey, it's never a bad time to give props to what is arguably the greastest Panther of all time. I mean, how many threads does it take until Steve is adored properly?

I don't think he wasted his career. Careers are what they are. I will say that if he finishes off with a flourish. He will get all the accolades he deserves. Maybe voters will take into consideration that even with all his stats, he only played a handfull of years with an elite QB. Impressive career? I say yes. HOFer. I say, I wish I had a vote.

Umm... No

Steve smith is quite possibly the greatest receiver I have ever had the privilege of watching his entire career. He had his problems of course but no matter the obstacle or terrible offense he was a part of his star still shined bright. Steve smith and waste should never appear in the same conversation. There is but one 89 and he should be respected and honored as the greatest panther of all time.

Time to highjack the thread...

Who thinks Josh Gordon would be a good receiver to pair with Steve Smith, Brandon LaFell, David Gettis, Kealoha Pilares, and Joe Adams?

That way, when Smith retires we already have our future in place at the wide receiver position with Josh "Flash" Gordon, Brandon LaFell, David Gettis, Kealoha Pilares, and Joe Adams...

Maybe a third (we have no fourth) or fifth round pick in the supplemental draft.

      OTA's

      By Udogg · Posted

      It would depend on how we lost... If we lose a bunch of 17-13 . 20-7 type games where the defense plays well and offensively Bryce is sh***TING the bed...then he wouldn't get fired.  If we are losing 40-9, 38-14 type games..then yeah it's a possibility.   Couple that with our tough schedule.. if we show well in lets say half those games.. win either Seattle or New England game, at least 1 win vs division oponents.. he's good.  So imo.. to get fired he needs to : Loose badly against the top tier teams ie Blown out Show no progress offensively from last year. Show an unwillingness to bench Bryce again if he is horrible over multiple games ..  Get swept by the Saints again.

      I think he's gone, and rightfully so, if he turns in another losing record. The "talented roster," regardless of how true or not, is a double-edged sword. If the roster is so much improved now from 202X then why are you still producing losing seasons? On one hand, maybe that's what needs to happen. Have the GM hire the new coach, and then have the new coach pick his guy to run his system. That is typically how it works in the NFL. Not the forced inheritance deal we have had in place.

      The running back situation....

      By Johnstonny · Posted

      Hinging on Brooks to be our spark...be good if it happens... but not holding my breath....RB next draft. Morgan gambled...it would be a 2 year payoff if thing happened.
