There's some good stuff coming in early from Steve Smith and Brandon LaFell

Steve Smith

@Panthers: Steve Smith talking to the media. Said the team had a great time at fan fest and appreciated the support. http://t.co/eRviNnEmLW

@jjones9: Steve Smith has been eating organic since 2006. Buys milk from local farm and gets it delivered every Thursday

@jjones9: 89: They can say this or that or he punched a guy or whatever, but they'll never say I didn't work hard

@Panthers: Steve Smith says Armanti Edwards and Brandon LaFell are two guys that made a drastic improvement after putting in extra work this offseason.

@Panthers: Smith also praised the addition of Ted Ginn, saying he'll have a big impact on the #Panthers offense.

@josephperson: #Panthers WR Steve Smith on refs calling ball spin as a taunting penalty this year: "We're working it out."

@josephperson: Smith said he might have to alter his spin. Guessing he meant creating a little distance btwn him and defender before spinning it.

@josephperson: Smith on whether he's lost a step: "What I'm doing at 34, there are GMs hoping and praying they can draft a guy that can do what I'm doing."

@josephperson: Smith also said he tries to drive to Greenville for lunch some days so he can eat organic. ... Eat your vegetables, kids.

@PanthersBryan: WR Steve Smith says emphasis on taunting won't mean end of him spinning ball after catches: "It's still there. I'll just have to alter it."

@PanthersMax: Smith admitted LaFell beat him in competition to see who runs a better stop-7 route. LaFell laughed and confirmed his win upon film review.

@jjones9: Smith said the WRs have been owning the secondary the past 4 practices. If they continue it, "it'll be 11 straight days of tappin' it."

@josephperson: #Panthers WR Steve Smith still going strong at 34.

Brandon LaFell

@Panthers: WR @Blafell1 meets the media. Says he is trying to be the best no.2 receiver he can be. http://t.co/l9lUqGLk6V

@Panthers: Brandon LaFell says if you remove the numbers from every player on the field, you'll still know who 89 is by the way he plays.

@Panthers: LaFell says Armanti Edwards has been one of the best receivers in camp. "It's great to see him come into his own."

@jjones9: LaFell: I love all those guys (WRs), but Armanti has really been pushing me more than anyone else

@PanthersBryan: Brandon LaFell says Steve Smith has pushed him from his first day as a Panther and he thinks now he's "not far" from being a No. 1 receiver.

@PanthersPR: #Panthers 1st & 2nd round draft choices Star Lotulelei and @kk_mr93 w/ @taylorzradio & @marcjames @wfnz http://t.co/TUEv8khe3o

@Panthers: Star Lotulelei meets the press. He joked that fellow Utes Steve Smith and Jordan Gross often make fun of his hair. http://t.co/XCrNpdTDr0

@Panthers: Lotulelei went on to praise the strong leadership that Smith and Gross have provided, making his transition to the NFL easier.

    • I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years. 
    • I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
