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.

Will always be remembered as the GPOAT.

Thanks for the memories Steve. You are by far the best Panther of all time.
