Will Steve Smith affect Torry Smith's opinion of signing with the Panthers?

[hepcat]

Torry Smith spent a year playing with Steve Smith in Baltimore.  It's well known Steve is pretty salty after his release from the only team he had ever played for.  Back in September, Smith also made some comments about Cam not being able to read coverages in the red zone which is one of the reasons for Carolina's struggles in converting TDs in the red zone.  

 

 

 

"In fact, he told close friends he doesn't believe Cam Newton sees the field at all, specifically in the red zone. What Steve Smith told friends is that Cam Newton doesn't think fast enough or isn't precise enough to succeed in the red zone.

Wonder if a year of listening to Steve Smith bash the Panthers will affect if he'll consider signing with the Panthers.

No, especially not when we probably don't even make him an offer lol.

If anything it will help us. 

 

Torrey lost a lot of touches and TDs in the first part of the year because of Smitty.  

 

Really hurt TS's FA value.

Fug Steve Smith if he does

Wouldn't surprise me if the Ravens cut or greatly reduced Steve's role in the Ravens offense (especially with a new coordinator coming in) and keep Torry Smith.  After the playoff loss John Harbaugh told Smith to take some time to think about if he wants to return for another season, so who knows what they're thinking.

How have we already gone from a reporter speculating about potential free agents to preemptively bitching about not giving them an offer?

[Moose87Banks]

You really think he's going to sign here?

Thats what makes it so hard to predict these things.  I think Torry leaves but Ozzy is one hell of a GM. If he lets TS walk its for a damn good reason.

My money is on the fact that torrey learned this season how much of a ball hog Smitty is.

 

If I remember correctly, when smitty was going off at the beginning of the season, Torrey wasn't doing squat.

 

When someone comes in and starts taking away your looks and production, at least I would have some friction with that.

 

theres a chance Torrey would leave Balitimore because of smitty and his opinions.

 

didnt Baltimore tell smitty to consider NOT comming back?

[The Huddler]

And Cam is one hell of a talent and people who don't have their head up their ass can see that.

[PandaPancake]

I bet we don't even give Brett Favre an offer. fuging Gettlemagic

[O-Ther]

Probably not. Smitty is gonna be Smitty in the Ravens locker room just like he was in ours. Torrey has probably gotten tired of Smitty's BS because Smitty came in and became top dog and probably made sure Torrey knew he wasn't top dog there anymore.

 

I say Torrey's gonna get out of Baltimore if it looks like Smitty is a Raven next season.

You may want to look up the term "bitching." Or perhaps, check your reading comprehension in general.

That statement was simply saying, we have not made him an offer and I won't believe that we will make him an offer until it's done because some reporter with as much inside info on the organization as a jar of mayo has is speculating we will.

Smitty was supposed to come in and be the #3 option. He jumped everybody and was the clear #1 just a couple weeks into the season. Maybe Torrey's pissed that that motherfuger took his job so he'll come here for less money and be the guy to "replace" Smitty.
