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 !

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
