It's become painfully obvious that Steve Smith...

[neverlosethefeeling]

In this case I think blatant stupidity, not BSJS is the silent killer.

With posts like this, Jase, I'm beginning to think YOU are losing a step, not Smitty.

Did you see how fired up Smith got after his pass interference? That's the Smitty we all know...nothing's changed with him.

Get real, bro!

[Jase]

Fired up? If you mean pissed off that he got caught, sure.

[Jase]

Keep in mind I still think Smitty is good. Top 15 receiver for sure.

Just not top 5 anymore.

[neverlosethefeeling]

Can you honestly say with a straight face that you don't think Smith is dominant?

What part of today proved that? Larry Fitzgerald is dominant, no one would argue that, but the man didn't even have 40 yards today. Smith had well over 100. You've seen today how much better our offense is when we get the ball in his hands. I think you need to take the rest of the night off.

Ask any defensive back in the league and I bet they'll tell you that Smith is top 5. Ask any casual fan (not even Panthers fan) and they'll all tell you that Smith is top 5, and pound-for-pound one of the best in the game, bar none. Bryant and Fitz are the 2 guys I can think of that people would put ahead of Smith. The rest are debatable. Smith is still Smith. I don't know that there's anyone else I'd want on the team given the choice.

This is obvious a troll post. No way the OP is that stupid.

Steve Smith not dominant? BAHAHAHA. Please stop smokin that stuff. Either that or pass some over here.

[Kevin Greene]

Of course. It's all Jake's fault that he trusts smitty to make all the tough catches that he used to be able to make.

Pardon my ignorance.

BSJS. The silent killer.

I suppose if Jake put the ball where it is suposed to be this trust wouldn't be necessary.

[Jase]

The throw was absolutely in the right place, the only place that smith had a better chance of getting it than the defender. Shallow, and almost out of bounds.

Smith pussied out and waited for the ball to get there.

The DB did what smith should have done and caught the ball at a higher point.

Smith a pussy? LMAO. You should have seen him curse out that Falcons player in today's game. That's the total opposite of a pussy.

I agree.

Smith, Delhomme, and Moose are seasoned vets now. So is most of the defense.

The younger guys on the team, Stewart, DeAngelo, Beason and some of the younger guys on defense, they are becoming the most reliable players on the team.

Smith and Moose are still receivers that can catch balls and win you games, but the Panthers needed to be grooming a young QB and younger WRs this season, and they're not.

They're OLD in football years, and that's part of the problem with the defense and some of the offense.

CAN YOU READ?

He never said that Smith was "A PUSSY", he said Smith "PUSSIED OUT."

There is a difference, you know.

To be "A" pussy is to "ALWAYS" pussy out. To "PUSSY OUT" on one play is to either take the play off or not go after it like you normally do.

Smith and every other player messes up on a play here and there.

Smity was open, Jake threw it too late.

I do have to agree- HOWEVER-- out on that field everything happens at 10 million miles an hour, its easy for us to re-wind the dvr and say; "oh man, he should have thrown it 2 seconds earlier and we would be good"

Jake took the best option he had, and it didnt work out.

It IS HARD TO WIN when your defense gives up a TD every outing (i think it was what, 4 straight today?)

we get our defense sured up and we will be hard to beat.

Our guys have to find their confidence.

1000 years ago, a lot of people would've told you the Earth was flat.

You're damn right. And until I saw proof to the contrary, I'd believe them.

I've not seen one inkling of Smith slowing down, or being an less reliable/dominant than he once was.

Until I see something that can prove that he's not the same, he's the same.
