Smitty may be even more pissed than we thought (Panthers related)

[Kevin Greene]

pure PR he doesn't give a poo about that kid

 

 

I know, what a bastard right?

[top dawg]

For the vet min...me too.

 

 

Would have been nice, but we're still paying him more than the vet minimum now if I'm not mistaken.  That's part of the irony.

[TheRumGone]

Smitty is probably going to rage so hard when he steps on the field he will black out/pass out at his old age

[SIGCHI222]

Again, it's a player's word against what you feel. Unless you have any evidence to suggest otherwise, why would I believe he was lying? The quotes are from an interview he gave to sports illustrated.

 

Seen Goodell's  quotes lately?

 

[General_Purr]

hahah fuging love his motivation to beat you

[SIGCHI222]

Would have been nice, but we're still paying him more than the vet minimum now if I'm not mistaken.  That's part of the irony.

 

And part of his overall plan.

This thread may be one goofy MFer. But it is still tons better than having to read 12,000 pages of opinions on Hardy.

Yes, what has that got to do with Steve Smith's interview with sports illustrated? If you don't believe what Smith said, that's up to you but you are not going to convince anyone that his words should not be trusted when you have no evidence to prove otherwise.

Smitty has credited Ricky for helping to make him into a more complete WR. So...yup, Smitty has gotten groomed by someone.

 

Cmon bro. Steve Smith returned the opening kickoff his rookie year for a TD. He earned a starting spot in 2002 and had 54 catches that year. Ricky Proehl didn't come until 2003. Steve was already well on his way to be very successful. No one held his hand and gave him opportunities. Ricky Proehl is great, but Steve was already on his way to be great before Ricky Proehl dawned a Panthers jersey.

Week 4 Prediction:

Steve Smith lets his bulldog mouth override his puppy dog ass and Thomas Davis sends his ass running for the tunnel with his tail tucked between his legs.

I'll say this, Steve Smith is by far my favorite athlete/celebrity of all-time. It's not even close. I think he is a truly great HOF-caliber player and I grew up watching him. I've come to terms with him being cut, it really sucks but I understand it. I've also come to terms with the fact that he is immature and will never grow up. It's okay because it's part of what makes him so special. He has rare talent but his small stature and fiery attitude are what makes him unique. At the same time it's kinda sad and embarrassing, though. The man is 35 years old with a pregnant wife and 3 kids, along with his well known history here, yet he still acts like a petulant child and has the maturity of a 10 year old. Seriously. He's also a hypocrite on so many levels. He'll preach to people about god and living the right way, then turn around and drop F bombs. He gets all upset that Carolina cut him (which was 100% the right move, he wasn't worth the salary & would've hamstrung the team), yet before he was cut he blabbed and joked about how he wouldn't take a pay cut and literally said he was in it for the money and personal stats at this point.

Here's what's gonna happen Sunday. Steve is gonna be amped up and he's gonna run his mouth and go after one of the young DBs (Norman, White, etc). There will be minor scuffles, yet Steve won't let it go. He'll keep pushing and pushing with one of them till he goes too far and it turns into a fight. Then Thomas Davis is gonna step in and beat his tiny ass into the ground. I'm sure Steve and Thomas are close friends, but TD will not let Smitty push around one of his teammates. Same goes for Hardy, Luke, CJ, etc. I know Steve is a serious badass, but so are those guys. As much as they love and respect 89, once he crosses a line with one of their teammates they will gladly put him in his place.

It's too bad Steve can't grow up and be the bigger man for once in his life.

Football is an emotional game. Steve plays best when he can feed of emotion; mostly anger. Steve has given we Panther fans many wonderful moments. Nobody in the Panthers organization would try to assert that Steve can no longer play. No knowledgeable fan would try to say that either. Anyone who has watched the Panthers for the last few years can see a drop off in production. The front office could see things we do not have the vantage points to see. If Getts felt that Steve would help the "new school" of Panthers, he would have kept him. For Getts to in effect pay him to go speaks volumes about how Steve was fitting into the vision for the future of this team. I am a Panthers fan. I want to see the best for the future of the TEAM. Apparently Steve is (and I can't blame him) concerned for the future of Steve and I would venture to assume, his family. Good tidings Steve. I have nothing but love and respect for what you have meant to this organization. Nobody meant to disrespect you. Most of the fans still love you man.You have been great for us. Times change Steve. It is you who seem to be showing that disrespect that you are claiming is directed to you.  If you choose to disrespect my boys, however, you have to go down . At least for that game. Best wishes to you and yours...otherwise!

Man it's gonna be a game week 4, all hell will break loose that day.......dg fugged up on that one i will say, he's done a good job clearing cap and signing players we can get the most out of but this decision was one of the dumbest

 

and before someone say were paying him too much he was never asked for a pay cut

 

he puts in 10 plus season with us and is release without dignity.

 

I hope smith proves him wrong.............i just hope it can occur with the ravens taking a L that day

[jumpman910]

The majority of the football world saw how pedestrian Steve had became last season. Some big plays here and there but that was it

This is the same guy that played for us for 12 years. He needs that attitude to accomplish the things he accomplishes.
