Steve Smith "It's nice to play for a team that expects to go to the superbowl

[PandaPancake]

Because we have more than a few men who lose their manhood when it comes to giving Pep and 89 their due, acting more like butt-hurt bitches masquerading as Internet tough guys spewing fire---more like poo---from a mouth akin to a second hurt butt hole.

I was hurt when Peppers was so open about leaving. But the dude is a freak. How much of an athlete do you have to be to walk on to the UNC basketball team

i don't blame him. we've been crippled by trickle-down mediocrity since the franchise's inception. the ravens are undoubtedly a huge culture change and i bet it's a breath of fresh air for a guy like steve smith.

89 has been viewed as the face of our franchise for years and years (and the GOAT)

Yet here he is talking about the tone while he was here.....he is the dude that is suppose to be one of the tone/expectation setters.

So basically he is dissing us for what he failed to do.....I mean 89 has a PHD in trolling

[Mr. Scot]

Smitty is that guy who moves on to a new hot girlfriend, but still can't be fully happy with her unless he knows his old girlfriend is unhappy.

No matter how well the Ravens fare, if the Panthers actually have any success without him, it'll gall him to no end.

[King Schhit]

I was waiting for a comment like this from him soon I saw that they made the playoffs. I love some Smitty & after he left I wished him success. But these swipes at us have gotten old. I was hoping so bad that they wouldn't make the playoffs. Now I hope they get knocked out faster than you can say "ice up son".

[bigdog10]

Yeah Smitty, that is what a strong locker room with great veteran leaders and sustained success will do for a team and organization.

 

We've never really had that in Carolina, and guess what.....you were part of that problem.  You are the greatest panther player in the history of this franchise, but on the leadership scale you don't even crack the top ten.

 

Best of luck in the playoffs.  I'm sure we will hear from you again if the Panthers win Saturday and the Ravens lose.

Pie this a thousand times. He was arguably released for this very reason. He admitted to not wanting to help young players.

You're right, but its just football. So I can afford to be irrational in my stance. Fug Smitty until he retires.

Ps.- I still love me some Smitty tho...BUT FUG HIM RIGHT NOW.!

Like other people said, mediocrity is endemic in this franchise, but Smitty wasn't just a spoke on the wheel. As someone who wants to run the locker room, it's his job to set the mentality and try not only to play a great game himself, but to help other players play better in anyway he can. He's in a new environment run by people who actually want to lead which has won before he showed up and will win long after he's gone. He just didn't want to be saddled with that responsibility here. That's why he's not here anymore.

[SpeedOFLight]

I mean, I can't say that he isn't right. I remember that one year when Brad Hoover was being interviewed and he said something to the likes of "it's like someone us don't really care about winning". It is not the exact quote but you get what I am saying. I am hoping someone remembers that here. Well anyway, we have had mediocrity for awhile but I feel the culture is starting to shift. We have the unquestioned leaders in Cam and Luke who have taken the reigns who are tired of losing. We finally have back to back playoff appearances but this is only the tip of the iceberg. I love these young players we have. It hypes me up just watching them. We had a down year record wise but we are 0-0 right now and anything can happen. I wish Smitty the best except playing against us in the bowl

[AceBoogie]

His poo is getting real old, let it go man. Your grudge is against one man, not an entire organization.

[Jackofalltrades]

I agree, the mentality and expectations are a big part of the problem here and it starts at the top.

[TheRed]

Meh, we've been trying to change the culture of this franchise for years.

 

Just look at how much bullshit some of our own fans gave Newton for being upset about losing when he first got here.
