Rivera says Steve Smith no longer a deep threat.

You'll say a lot of things when you try to justify a bad decision.

John Harbaugh - Smith's new coach - seems to think he can still be a deep threat. Given he's a fantastic route runner and will be in slot, facing up against second or third cornerbacks on a consistent basis with little to no double teaming, I would not be surprised in the least for him to be an effective deep threat. For that matter, Harbaugh thinks Steve's work ethic will be a great example for young players (Rivera also complained about his work 'causing injuries') and that he'll be a great veteran leader.

Smitty clearly did not have that Smitty gear the last two seasons. He actually was slightly overweight imo..or just has put on that 35 year old weight. Makes you oldman strong.

Well Jacoby Jones and Torrey Smith are both deep threats so Smitty takes over the Anquan Boldin possesion reciever role. However with three burners it makes for some good scheming as you never know which WR is going to go route on the secondary. I predict a career year for Torrey Smith and Dennis Pitta.

Not really what he said.

What he said boils down to two points.

1) He's still fast, but not as fast as he was before.

2) His durability isn't what it used to be either.

Looking at last season, can anyone really argue those statements aren't valid?

      The Carolina Huddle

      Been here since middle school right when it started around 2003 after the charlotte.com one. Living outside of Carolina it was tough to find good Panthers content, news or analysis. And no one to talk to about it. This place gave me a lot though I don’t often post. In the later days, I particularly Loved PhillyB’s write ups. They were fire. Too bad I go let it go. I appreciate the hell out of @MHS831 @TheSpecialJuan @Jackie Lee and others who have been posting great content and keeping this place worth coming back to. Particularly during the offseason. Appreciate y’all!

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Nice explanation, but I was just messing with you. Thought that would be obvious. I dont have the energy to keep on trolling. Last season I compared our situation with Bryce as a potential Alex Smith, but what we should be looking for is our version of Mahomes. Some people will read that as one sentence, to me that single sentence is equivalent to a half A4 explanationf of the teams pathway forward.

      I dont know how much of his salary would come across and how much a trade would cost but I feel Kmet would be the sort of TE Canales and Morgan would like
