CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith downgraded himself Thursday, saying his return from a sprained left knee didn't go as well as he had hoped in his second practice back from the injury.

 

"Seventy-one [percent] yesterday," Smith said. "I think I overdid it. Fifty-seven [percent] today. Just went down."

Asked if he considered it a setback, the team's all-time leading receiver said, "If we're on a curve, no. If we're on a curving grading system, there is no setback. If there's no curve, then it's a setback.""Just didn't go as well as I thought," he said. "It will be all right. A little treatment. I did everything. I just probably overdid it."

 

Coach Ron Rivera obviously had been coached by Smith when asked how his leading receiver did in practice.

"Fifty-seven percent," Rivera said. "That's what he told me. But he looked good. He moved around pretty well. He's not his normal self yet, but he was out there. He did things he was supposed to do. We'll see how he feels tomorrow. He came in and felt a little sore."

Rivera didn't sound overly concerned.

 

"When you watch Steve and watch the way he does things, there's a smoothness to his movements and stuff, and it's not quite there yet," he said. "It'll be work, and it's just a matter of time."

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.

      Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
