Final stats in 7 games were 46 receptions for 670 yards and three touchdowns. Average game: 6.5 catches (second-highest in career) for 96 yards (third-highest). As it stands, both are far and away the highest per-game averages of any player 36 or older. 

Harbaugh seems to think Steve will return. I hope so but I don't see it happening. Achilles tears are brutal.

I don't see him returning just because he's already expressed his desire to retire.
Achilles are no jokes, esp for a WR that depends on speed, cuts, and agility.

However I could see him not wanting to go out being carried off with a towel over his face (though he'd said many times he feels he'd have to leave the Panthers kicking and screaming with them pushing him out)

So who really knows.  Just know I'm thankful for his years as a Carolina Panther. One of the best to ever do it.

Peter King and Jason La Canfora are reporting he is leaning towards coming back for one last year.

Godspeed, Steve.

That is one crazy mofo........if he proves me wrong than he will be the GOAT at WR, to come back from such a debilitating injury that even younger athletes struggle to ever get back to 80% of who they were.  Ice up Smitty!

      Qbs aren't defined by physical abilities. Brady, Brees, Manning, Montana, Warner,.....doesn't seem to correlate.

      Corbett might not be gone

      By MHS831 · Posted

      If we are going to spend the money anyway, maybe the signing is not as bad as it seems.  Mays outperformed Corbett (before his injury and if you go back to last year, Corbett has been below average) and then Christensen took the job and Mays quickly took it from him and never looked back.  He could use improvement reaching to the next level (LBs) but picking up stunts and blitzes---he was surprisingly good.  Run blocking needs some work, but he is 25.  Corbett, in my view, should be G/C depth and if Mays steps back, he is there.  Mays should start because this team is building for the future and 30 year old players are not building blocks.  We shall see.  That is how I think about it, but there are many factors we do not know. Having said that, I like what Zavala is doing, and I do not want to bring in someone who would take opportunities away from him.  Zavala was really good at RG down the stretch, and in limited duty, was awesome. In fact, we have a guard from the PS who played briefly and did well, but he only played a few plays.  He is 25 and I recall that fans of his former team were upset when we signed him.   Maybe as the backup center only (Corbett).  You need 2 centers to run practices efficiently.  I cannot say enough about the OL coaches on this staff.  What they have done is overshadowed by the Lewis / Hunt signing.  Mays, Ekwonu, Zavala--impressive growth.
