Sad Trend: Steve Smith Hinders Our Offense.

Ok, let me be clear with this before you idiots' heads explode. Steve Smith is the greateset panther to ever play and one of the best WRs to ever play the game. Yes he STILL is our best option...

 

But..

 

The game against Arizona got me thinking a lot over the passed 20 or so hours. First and foremost, the lack of progression in the play calling hurts our offense the most. Its like we are calling plays we have no matter what with no adjustment to defensive looks or trends. The offensive line being unable to protect fuels this fire. Now on to Smitty...

 

Steve Smith, 34, has obviously lost his step he once had, and it seems hes more reluctant to go up and get a ball if its not thrown in the right spot. In otherwords, hes making Cam do all the work when last year and 2 years ago, you saw him going up and snagging the ball like weve seen him do his whole career. I realize that there is less designed plays that would call for that situation, but when it does arise, you can tell something is off with Smitty. Why i think he hinders our offense is because he still demands touches like he is the same player he was in his prime. This is forcing the offense and cam to force throws/plays just to "keep him happy".

 

I get that we have no better option, but this is a big eye opener into just how important it is to have a face of the franchise type of WR.

 

I love me some Smitty, i love his tenacity, i love his passion for the game, and i still love what he brings to the table, its just time to start looking at this in a realistic light. Hes at a point in his career when he should be a slot receiver with two better/younger outside receivers.

 

 

 

What once was.

steve smith doesn't hinder our offense, lack of other productive receivers hinders our offense and lack of an offensive line that can give guys time to get open hinders our offense and the lack of a coaching staff that is qualified to coaching something other than punters and independence high hinders our offense.

Im reallllllly getting tired of him acting like he fuging made the most amazing play in the world after he makes a 5 yard play, after he dropped two key passes already. His act after every single little catch is getting really old.

If we were winning we would love it. He's been doing it for his entire career. 

 

How do you feel about Cam's first down celebration?

 

Honest question. It is starting to wear on me.

Ditto...  It started bugging me probably 10 years ago !  He was probably planning his touchdown dance instead of catchin' the damn ball !

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
