Smith is taking this break up hard we might have to get a restraining order.

I also sent Smitty a message on twitter, I told him I'm a huge fan but the way he's acting he will end up like Brett Favre in Green Bay. ..don't end up like Brett Favre in Green Bay

This Reminds me of a comersial. Cant remember what about.

Well... he called in to WBT news on his own terms back in February (while on vacation) to comment on Gettleman's quotes:

 

http://www.wbt.com/keith-larson/2014/02/25/steve-smith-responds-to-gettlemans-presser

 

 

 

Then he voluntarily called in to WFNZ to talk about his release a couple of months later:

 

http://charlotte.cbslocal.com/2014/03/13/steve-smith-talks-being-cut-from-carolina-panthers-nfl-future/

 

 

There were numerous other occasions where local radio hosts would be talking about a football subject (or even a life in general subject) and Steve would call in from out of the blue. 

 

Steve calling into local radio to set the record straight has been a normal occurrence for a long time. 

 

So why does Steve feel he needs to do that?  I'm neutral on this issue and I don't think what went down will ever be known, but it seems to be me both parties benefited, the Panthers moved on but Steve didn't.

Nor should he. He was done dirty. That's the business side of it. Our organization decided it was time to move on, but I think we've beat this horse to death. It wasn't handled properly. Love it hate the guy, he deserved better

Yeah. Stabbed in the back by the organization that gave him a chance and stuck with him through punching teammates.

His act, given that he's in a better situation on a team equipped to win now, and given that he had his day to prove everybody wrong, is old.

He's not going to incinerate all the bridges here but he's trying his hardest.

Maybe Smith needs to put a uniform on, grab a rifle, and spend a month out in the poo in Afghanistan getting paid $25K per year to gain a little perspective.

I can't answer that without sounding insensitive to your plight, but trust me I feel you. Different circumstances tho. Both shitty situations, but different.

Gettleman is a prick and it is no secret. The Smith trade was personal, it was botched and it was a mistake. Everybody knew it then and everybody knows it now.

 

I don't care, it's over but Steve Smith is Steve Smith and I'm surprised he took this long to blow. He doesn't pull punches and he doesn't lie.

The other irony of this is that Smitty claims to respect brutal honestly... if what he claims Gettleman said face to face with him is true, it doesn't get any more brutally honest than that, so why the sandy vagina? 

 

I don't think his claims about what Gettleman said are true, or even close, I'm just pointing out his double-standard. 

 

He said Gettleman looked him in the eye and basically told him he sucks and he's a pain in the ass, so why doesn't he respect that?

It's been mentioned a couple of times in this thread - Narcissism.

 

(which by the way is a pain in the a$$ for me to spell for some reason)

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of immature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.

      I don’t get this, I know that is the popular thought process but I just don’t think it’s true.  For instance head to head last year the ACC had a winning record against the SEC.  The SEC had a losing record in bowl games. This year so far the head to head is 2-3 SEC and that’s with a fluke Vandy win in week one.  I see the ACC taking another head to head winning season after next week.  The SEC is mostly hype with 3 good teams, in my opinion.  But to say any ACC team would get exposed I believe is a stretch

      What the hell?  How is presenting Cam's stats hating him?  The point is not to hate Cam, it is to show you how similar Jones is to him and why you take a look at him.  I mentioned Jones has the skill set to take a look--the response is, "look at his 5 years of performance."  So I compare him to the greatest QB in franchise history, and the stats are similar--while Jones was in a worse situation.  Now that is "hating?"  Come on.  This is a meritless, ignorant, personal attack because you are wrong.  Just stop it.  You all attack the poster when you have nothing.  So saying "we should consider a guy with similar stats and size to Cam Newton" is now hating Cam and making me a Jones super fan- that is just stupid.
