He didn't have to make the trip yesterday. But he did and gave encouragement from the sidelines. He didn't walk with any limp and was on the exercise bike quite a bit during the game. I expect he will be 100% ready to go next weekend.

That will be great if he is he is ready next weekend since he has two to heal.

Smitty knows that this is possibly his last chance to get deep in the playoffs and he will do everything in his power to play.  He isn't going to risk permanent injury either. I don't blame him a bit.  I don't question his fire and desire at all and couldn't see why anyone would.

I see him playing the divisional round sparingly. Rotating in. If we get in a situation where we need him, he'll be out there, for sure. But I don't think we're going to push our luck. We win the divisional game, then I think we'll see Smitty in his usual role for the NFCCG.


Best believe he will be telling guys how hard they played to get to the SB in 03. Having him here is great come playoff time for us. He knows what it takes to get there and knows the intensity needed. I remember him taking that punt to the house in the playoffs when we needed that momentum swing. That was when he stopped taking punts, but insisted on taking that one. Wasn't a question of whether or not it was going to the house the second he started running with it.

Good times

Does anyone else see the miracle in this situation?

 

89 is friggen BEAST MODE in the playoff. Now he will have had 3 weeks of REST and 3 weeks of hunger for the game that he knows he is in the twilight years of...

 

I am thinking this is a HUGE blessing in disguise...  

 

Dude will go off in the playoffs. 89 just got almost a month off to ice up and get 100% when everyone else is going to be tired as hell.

 

LOVIN it!!!

He's going to be a coach someday, hopefully with us. I can't imagine him stepping away from the game forever.

When he retires, he needs to 1) get a permanent sports talk radio gig in Charlotte and 2) replace Eugene Robinson on the Panthers Radio Network. Smith is great when he does his weekly spot on WFNZ.

      No, I'm starved for contention. If you can't see that and keep wanting to turn things like this back around on T-Mac, then you're just either being purposefully obtuse, or is a fan who is happy having 5-6 win seasons just because we're so used to the 3-4 win seasons and you like "just being better"

      You mean the guy who took over a franchise that hadn't had a losing season in the previous 4 seasons... who proceeded to get his team into the playoffs in 3 of his first 4 seasons, only to win 2 games in said playoffs, to then go on to having a 54-74 career record and never won another playoff game after those first two? Who then after being fired from that job, took over a team that was 30-18 in the 3 seasons before he got the job, got into the playoffs that first season, lost their first postseasons game, and then went on to have a 6-26 record over the next 2 seasons? You're literally proving my point by bringing up someone who's claim to fame is that quote. If you just play to win the game, you're never going to be a successful franchise.  You need to play to win the game while ALSO working to make your players better.  Having the former without the latter is a picture perfect recipe to become a stagnant franchise. That's how you work towards being a winning franchise who can contend in the postseason.  And sure, having a stagnant franchise that makes the playoffs every other season is better than what we currently are, but that's not what I strive for with our Panthers, I want to actually contend for championships in my lifetime.
