Lol at Steve Smith Doing a Great Job Trolling Us.

[PantherFanOne]

if this kind of action got him kicked then it was atotal farce.

 

 

 

 

Panthers management said  Steve Smith had become a distraction to the overall good of the team because his negative behavior, out weighed the positive effect he made,his skills and playing performance did not warrant that type action.

Steve Smith,his  skill set aside, proved over time he could be a pain in the ass, with a personality that curtailed development to a young QB like Cam and young WR's that he resented and had no desire to help. Don't think for a minute the Panthers brain trust just suddendly pulled thoughts out of the air and said Steve Smith and the team need to part ways..

AHAHAHA HAHA HAHAHAHAHAHA!

So instead, we try to culture the development of our young QB by not giving him much better options at WR, and fielding probably the worst line in the history of football.

But, yeah, Panthers management is my go to source for logic and smart football decisions.

[djp14]

The fact that the Panthers make bad football decisions doesn't negate the the fact that Smitty is an asshat.

 

And vice versa.

[The NFL Shield At Midfield]

Not counting 2001 (rookie year) or 2004 (injury), the Panthers were 91-85 with Smith. But, even narrowing it down to such a non-encompassing number is basically a derpa derp statistic. We had an ENTIRE SEASON with Jimmy Clausen as our leading Passer. We had Jake Delhomme, one of the most overrated QBs and overappreciated good guys ever. We had 97 year old Vinny Testaverde. DeShaun Foster led us in rushing for three consecutive years without crossing the 900 yard mark.

 

We can speculate either direction, but history tells us that Smith was our leading WR 10 out of the 13 years he was here. One of those years he was a rookie that didn't get time at the WR position. Another one he was hurt in the first game. Last year, he was in a Mike Shula led offense that is certainly piling up the points as we speak.

 

He caught over 1000 yards worth of offense seven out of 13 seasons, which is really seven out of 11 not counting his rookie or injury years. This is coming from outstanding perennial Pro Bowl legendary QBs Jake Delhomme and Vinny Testaverde. Sure, Cam lit it up with him 2/4 years, too, but Smitty was at the twilight of his career for the last two (and with Mike Shula calling the plays.)

 

We had exactly 4 thousand yard rushers during Smitty's 13 year career. Two of them in the same year (Williams and Stewart in 2009), Wiliams in 2008, and Davis in 2003. That's a lot of help from the run game. Especially when you consider that most of the Fox-era offense forced the run more often than not.

 

He also had to spend an entire season with Jimmy Clausen throwing him the ball.

 

Aside from the years he had Moose, he also never had a solid WR opposite from him.

 

So do I think he WAS our offense for most of his time here? Absolutely. Do I think he MADE Jake Delhomme? Absolutely. Do I think he might not have been the greatest teammate sometimes? Maybe not. But I never saw him stop running hard or playing hard or trying to get any junk that was thrown to him or making something out of nothing by making people miss.

Therefore, I speculate that we would have absolutely been worse without him during those 13 years. Write it off as "fanboy" logic all you want. You're the one letting an emotional situation make you disregard logic. That just makes you a hater.

 

this is a lot of fuging words to put forth an argument that i still fundamentally disagree with

 

unless steve smith can play offensive tackle, we're not a lick better this season.  and yeah, you are a fanboy.

At this point you may as well be asking Grits how he feels about Cam Newton if you mention Steve Smith's name here.

That is a fact the Steve Smith Nut Huggers want to overlook, when they point fingers at the Panthers organization for cutting him.

 

Smiths release could have been handled  better,no doubt,but when Steve Smith directs his cutting remarks toward the Panthers,actions that may hurt them getting free agents,instead of taking the high road,along with the $5 million,those type endevours make him as guilty as the Panthers were for their supposed ,rude actions.

 

Just shut the hell up Steve Smith and play out the rest of your career with the Raven's,a team that you said had mind set (heaven forbid), exactly like yours.

[Cpt slay a ho]

Or our gm could learn how to be professional......

for whatever reason they cut SS it has not worked out for them and the fact they were not professional enough to know it was a mistake  is troubling and doesn't instill much confidence. I think your kind doth protest too much about SS and this is evident in using his latest response which is nothing at all to the reasonable person, but is a scathing lambasting of the whole panther universe to the haters.

[heel31ok]

I guess he still hasn't learned this is a business yet.

 

LOL, SS is playing the "business " game , I guess you haven't figured that out yet.

[Kevin Greene]

I'm just amazed at how well Cam is now leading this team now that that little runt isn't running all over the field catching passes.

Gettlemen really made the right call, it's payed off big for Panther fans so far!!!!1!!!1!!!1!1!1

Great post^^. Front office won't admit, but they know they fugged up releasing Smitty. Would have been nice to see Smitty chomping KB's ass for some of those dropped passes, nobody else did.

[tiger7_88]

...except that Manning plays an entirely different position, had a supporting cast, and won a Super Bowl with the Colts...

 

 

Which means nothing.

 

He was still released by the team that drafted him, nurtured him, and wears the jersey he will enter the HoF in.

 

Yet he handled it like a mature adult.

 

Unlike another player who insists on handling his business like a small child.

[Lilsmitty09]

I love the Panthers more than Smitty...but when he said stuff like this everyone was rubbing his nuts but now he takes a shot at DG and you all hate him? Wut?
