Sad sad day :(

 

I can't number all the times he scored a touchdown or kept a drive alive by simply plucking what should have been a incomplete ball/interception out of the air. Or the number of times he scored or gained extra yards by pushing over bigger defenders. Fiercest competitor we've had.

 

Greatest Panther of all time. 

 

Good luck Steve, thanks for everything!

 

 

Some of my favorite Steve Smith moments: 

 

2008: He caught two ridiculous lobs from Dehlomme against the Packers at Green Bay to beat the team we were clearly outmatched by.  Also caught a ridiculous lob in the last regular game of that season against the Saints, after the Saints had scored and it looked like we were going to lose -- Smitty came through on a beautiful catch on a prayer of a pass and we won the game to get the second seed in the playoffs and the bye.

 

2005: Playoff game against the Chicago Bears where he just went off and was basically our entire offense.

    • I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.
    • Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.  
    • Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
