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

[Jeremy Igo]

You dodged the main point of the argument.  Like I have always said, the two weren't mutually exclusive.  And even though you may believe that they were, others don't.

 

The Panthers do.

[top dawg]

So, KB is not man enough to handle his own against Smitty?   Ha!  I absolutely scoff at the notion.

[Captroop]

All I am saying is that KB's accelerated development which stemmed from KB being the obvious favorite in OTA's, Camp, and Preseason would not have happened with Smith here. To think that it would is just silly. Smith would see KB as his competition, not his teammate, as he did with every other receiver on the roster.

 

It's possible. We'll never know. Smith used to push Colbert to be better, which he never did. Not saying you're wrong, but we never got to see how Smith played with a solid #2 after Muhummad left. After him, all the Panthers gave him was a sloppy, hot #2 in every sense of the word.

 

Truthfully, i would have loved to see him play alongside KB. Part of the reason I think Smith will be successful in B-Mo is because Torrey Smith draws all the attention and Smitty is a mismatch against a #2 corner.  We could have had that here ( I know, I know, we were paying him too much for him to be a WR2. Again, don't blame him for front office failure.)

Steve went on WFNZ, like he did every week, and openly stated that his sole mission was to make it to the Hall of Fame. I listened with my own damn ears.

No. Dave Gettleman did (and by extension, everyone else fell in line).

The mere suggestion he would have to "handle his own" against a teammate is cause for concern.

How many Panthers staff and players have you spoken to on the subject?

It's just an expression.  Any NFL player and man worth his salt "handles his own".

[top dawg]

[Jeremy Igo]

How many have you?

 

Plenty of both.

You're either naive or don't know football at all. Competition is a huge part of being in this league. People battle with teammates for roster spots to move up the depth chart all summer and all season. You can still be a good teammate, but if you think that they aren't vying for their jobs, you're foolish.

[Nick81]

How many have you?

You're not going to win this argument man, just calm down.  Jeremy is closer to the action, players, coaches etc. than we'll ever be.  It's his job, so he kinda knows a poo load more inside stuff than we ever will... unless we have a similar job also.

[top dawg]

Plenty of both.

 

So what you're suggesting is that the Panthers organization---players,coaches and all---were on one accord that Smitty was a nuisance and hindering receivers' development?  The Panthers---one big monolithic culture!  You do know how that sounds, don't you?

[Toundra]

Some can erase 10 years of Panthers history in a blink some can't, so yes i am still a big fan of Steve Smith and i f** don't care if someone is disapointed or unhappy with that.

I am still a Panthers fan and i want the Panthers to win week 4 and all the players to play a good game but i will still be very happy if Smitty is scoring a TD or more.

End of the story.
