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

[savage]

yes, almost everyday i think about what steve could do on another team. what a waste that he is a panther.

really? wtf? hell no. worst thread of the month?

[Davidson Deac II]

Wasting would have meant getting thrown out of the league after a couple of years because of behavior problems. He has made a boat load of money, had some fun, and got to play in two NFC championship games and one Superbowl. That is certainly not wasting. If you mean no championships, well there have been plenty of greats that never got a ring. I doubt they feel they wasted their time.

[CRA]

People downplay the QB Jake was at one time.

[PantherPhann89]

NO, how could someone who has shined most of his career have wasted it here...Smith the Panthers!

[Rip Saw]

No I dont think he has wasted his talent here. Do you think he would have signed his latest contract if HE thought he had wasted his talent here?

[Panths]

This'll be a moot question when Smith has his statue next to Sam Mills'

[csx]

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.

No. I am a Steve Smith fan because he plays for the Panthers. I wouldn't dislike him if he was with another team but he would be of no interest to me.

[Peppers90 NC]

from the dude that has that old ass fugees album as his avatar, can't take thread seriously.

It's moo.

[Khaki Lackey]

He probably would be heading to Canton if he had a top 5 Qb the majority of his career.

Who cares? Guess how many teams are lucky enoug to have top five QBs each year. (Hint : 5)

That's just as dumb as saying Jerry Rice should not be in the hall of fame because he was lucky enough to have elite QB's his entire career.

i agree

[TheGreatestOfAllTimeCam]

Gotten a chance to play in a super bowl, playoff games, might still have a chance to win a SB, will retire one of the greatest Panthers ever....

He's accomplished a lot. He's on Cris Carter level now.

[rayzor]

i wonder how much he benefited from dan henning's "feed the stud" offense and no real help across from him for much of his career here...

[nickzz]

could he have put up better numbers and had a better career elsewhere? sure.

did he waste his talent here? fug no. we relied on him so much his entire career there is NO WAY you could even think that his talent was wasted.
