How will you remember #89?

Recommended Posts

When I was 13, during a preseason game in 2007 during warm up's I leaned over the railing yelling and waving at Smith, he came over and gave me a high five along with a few other kids. Some little kid shouted "your my hero Steve" He said, "You guys are my hero's" I'll never forget that and I doubt those kids will. Steve has been apart of my childhood since the beginning. Steve has never refused to sign any of my gear at training camp, he always waves when I see him in the CLT area. He is more than just a player, he is the heart and soul of this franchise. I'll never forget Smitty returning the long ball in 2001, I'll never forget when he took it 69 yards in double overtime to advance us to the NFCCG. I'll never forget when he threw up in a trash can right before catching a TD, I surely won't forget how he threw up 10 minutes later before scoring another TD. I'll never forget how he broke away from everyone on the Texans defense to score a TD, back in the day. How could anyone forget the 100's of fights and skirmishes he has been in over the years. How about last year when he changed a ref's mind and he reversed the call? You better fuging believe I'll never forget the small things he did for this franchise. Steve is coming up on 35 years of age and I knew it would end some day, I just had no doubt in my mind it would end in a Panthers uniform. I hate that changed.

 

Most of all, I'll never forget what Smitty did to get here, from High School, to breaking his neck in college, making it as a 5'9 WR in the NFL. That's what made Steve himself. That's how I'll remember Stevonne Latrall Smith.

I remember when he caught that deep bomb from Jake in the Monday night game against TB years ago.  I was sitting about 12 rows up in that endzone.  I barely caught the play because I had my head in my hands thinking Jake had over thrown him by a mile.  Smitty had to slow up and damn near stop waiting for that ball to get there.

I was pretty young when he joined the team, my 3 memories...

 

1. Watching 3rd round of the draft with my dad and I've got all my draft sheets and available players list out and I'm hoping for RB Lamont Jordan... pick is in... Steve Smith WR Utah (Who the heck is that... a return man in 3rd round!)

 

2.  taking his first career touch on kickoff return for td in Minnesota to open what had to be my hardest season as a panther fan ever.  

 

3. TD catch in 2OT against Rams on deep post route to win the game! that is my all-time favorite Panther moment.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
