well then show us what you're made of, guy. I don't just want to see talking like we've always seen I want you to follow through.

"You can’t worry about making a mistake. You’ve just got to go out and play. That’s something I’ve always been able to do, and I didn’t do it well on Sunday. How do you fix it? Well, it will be fixed, I promise you. It will be fixed. I’ll be back to me."

I'll tell you what, if Jake can overcome his last two games, that man is one of the strongest-minded people in the world. No matter what he says, his confidence has to be as low as it can get. You rarely ever see a good to serviceable athlete just completely lose it, but when you do you never see them get it back. It will be one of the greatest stories in Panthers history to date if Jake can turn it around and lead us to the playoffs. I will have even more respect for him as a player and person than I do now.

i'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt right now. next week? cross that bridge when we come to it.

i want to see how he responds. i want to see how the team responds to all of this. off the field the response has been good but the only response that matters is while the clock is running.

luckily for jake, there's only one direction he can go from here. :)

no, there's two. he can get better (yeah right)

or he can be benched (most likely not until another game or three like his last two)

my guess is, the staff will keep him in, he will continue to suck, and will be benched after mid season and we will win only 4 or 5 games the entire season.

didn't we just see how they responded to the arizona game?

so, you want to see how they respond to a failed response?

then what, see how he responds to the bad response of a failed response?

then..... how he responds, to a ..................

      THIS MIGHT PISS OFF SOME STEVE SMITH SR. FANS:  He WAS detrimental to this team.  Sure, he is on the hall of fame ballot and is probably our best player ever--but he punched 2 teammates--and that is the tip of the glacier.  Remember, I watched him haze and belittle Dwayne Jarrett at an OTA. Jarrett even reacted by giving me a hard hand slap when I mentioned it to him--.  I know bullying when I see it (educator who has written books about trauma caused by abuse and bullying) I have commented on the fact that nobody seemed to be friends with Smith except Kasay.  He was a bully and the coaches allowed it. Bunch of Alpha males chewing the tall grass. Here is a list of all the WRs Steve Smith 'mentored" after they were drafted:  2003: Walter Young 2004: Keary Colbert, Drew Carter 2007: Dwayne Jarrett, Rhyne Robinson 2010: Brandon Lafell,  Armanti Edward, David Gettis 2011: Kealoha Pilares 2012: Joe Adams That is 10 WRs drafted and only 1 had some degree of success, Brandon Lafell, who averaged around 600 yards a season for 8 years in the NFL--it is noteworthy that his numbers increased after leaving Carolina for NE.   This proves nothing, but it is interesting and coincides with the list of free agents we brought in during that time.  My argument:  It is possible that whatever Smith contributed to this team could be a result of bullying others into more diminished roles--Smith called it competition, and in fairness, he was the hardest practicing player I ever watched at OTAs over the years.  But it seems he was Napoleonic in his approach to teammates, possibly damaging the unit and keeping young players from developing--transitioning from college to the pros must be intimidating--especially when an established player is constantly attacking (challenging, to Smith) you as you are trying to learn the plays and culture.  It was so bad when I saw him doing it to Jarrett, it pissed me off.  I think Jarrett was pretty slow and was unsure of the plays etc--it was his rookie OTAs.  This is not proof, just an interesting possibility.  If you have ever had someone at your place of employment with some authority start harassing you, you might understand how a 21-year old kid might feel.
