Thought about Smitty...

Just got to thinking about Smitty and that knee and how he has been playing it in the media.


Initially, he reported that he was scared it was VERY serious (which is to be expected, as I'm sure that is what he felt).

Then, he said "well, not as bad as I thought, but it certainly hurts like hell".

Then he said, "I'm at about 60%"

Then, more recently, reported that his practice Wednesday didn't go as well as he thought it would, then he proceeded to downgrade himself for Sunday (Ron would later say Smitty looked good and they limited him to be safe).

Smitty also has said that he is "just an old dude" who "isn't on the same level as Crabtree".



Does anybody else get the feeling that he's sandbagging to screw with the media and SF? Also, it feels like (at least, to me) he is a bit pissed at all the attention that Crabtree is getting for this game as being a big play receiver. I feel like he comes out Sunday and just blows it the fug up, because I think that chip on his shoulder blew up a bit going into this game.


Just some thoughts. Now back to one of the 20+ threads about "experts" picking against us and Ric Flair.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
