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.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      It’ll be interesting to see how the board falls I completely agree with you on TE for us The safety from Oregon would be the cherry on top for Evero’s defense/scheme.  If a OL’men is there that you love it would be very hard to pass up. This fan base seems to just see Walker as a stop gap but I wouldn’t be so sure. He’s the same age as Ekwonu. He’s had a much more impressive career arc/progression than Icky has. He’s the better pass protector. As far as I see it if Walker has a good year I’d bring him back over Icky. Ekwonu isn’t some elite franchise LT. Playing next to Lewis is going to be great for Walker much like it has been for Icky. We definitely need to get younger/cheaper on the OL though so for this reason alone it’s still top of my list come round 1 if board falls this way  Could also use another corner with Mike Jackson’s deal up after this season and needing a nickel but Corey Thornton looked really good in that role in the limited time we got to see him. However he’s coming off an achillies injury and you never know with those.  Then as mentioned above we do still have a need at WR. As far as “weapons” go it’s kind of a 2 man show with Tmac and Coker and neither is a burner. If Jordan Tyson is there at 19 and we can have a young WR group locked up for cheap that’s a huge advantage cap wise  And don’t forget linebacker. That clip in Devin’s Lloyd blueprint they used from Evero saying they need more intelligence there could’ve been left out for Wallace’s sake but it’s true. Wallace is lost in coverage. Pair a smart linebacker with Lloyd and that’s a group with Wallace and Cherelus being depth

      What a Possible Trading Out of 1st Round May* Look Like

      The fact that this is even a discussion is a testament of the level of front office badassery that's going on.

      Not always. LT was for the Giants. So was Ray Lewis. Von Miller was moreso than Manning his final year in the season that shall not be named. It's usually the QB, but not always.
