My last shot of Steve Smith as a Panther....

He's my favorite player in the history of the franchise.  In terms of having a favorite player for this season, someone I can really identify with, I'm still not sure.  I'm not happy with how it went down and I may not ever be, but you can't turn back the clock and you can't reverse the past.  I guess what I can hope for is a Baltimore/Carolina SB with the 'Cats taking home their first trophy but Steve having a good enough year to be cemented in the Hall.

for a guy who's my favorite play of all time it's strange to me how completely i've moved on

same here.

i always thought it would bother me, but instead i just don't care. i'm too excited about the team we have right now and the potential they have this season and going forward. my mind is set on the guys wearing the jersey right now. when smitty retires as a panther, i'm sure i'll feel it more, but for now he's just another guy on another team. i've got no hard feelings toward him either because i know that if it were up to him he'd still be here. i just hope he has a bad night when we play them this year.

Now that Smith is gone can we start wearing black socks with the black pants?

Oh...Dear...Zod! What have you done?!?! ;)

[Chaos]

Do they make a single camera lens goggle similar to what the cyclops minions wear?  Remember, there will be blood and guts everywhere and you've invested some change into your photog gear.

Yeah I'm in the phillyb boat. When he hangs 'em up I'm sure I'll get the feels but right now I just want to crush him and watch him weep when we play them as I do every other team.

The fact that espn has made his "devastating" departure their needed reasoning for our "inevitable destruction" so one of their favorite teams can climb back up to relevancy this season really makes me care less about his leaving as well.

I have been trying to but I can't drum up any hate for Smitty.  He is the only player I have ever watched where I have not once questioned whether he came to play. I mean he is like family.  Do I dislike some of the things he has done? Yeah.  But it comes down to the fact that he is family, and you love him anyway.  Other than when he is on the other side of the field, he will always be one of my favorites.  That being said I hope we crush Bmore and he doesn't get a catch, but for the rest of the year I hope he balls out.

Even MJ didn't retire a Bull.

Been reading the Ravens board, its funny as hell. A lot of them dont understand his recent "bully" comments; saying he needs to shut up... I think that statue needs to come sooner than later. Whether both parties have moved on or not, 89 is fugin legend.

Great shot. Regardless of how/why he left, Smitty deserves a statue out front next to Sam Mills. Hope he signs a one day contract and retires a Panther.

I can't stop buying his autographed cards even though I don't collect non panthers.

I just bought a card I've been looking for quite some time it's numbered out of 10.

 

 

beautiful card.
