"To show you jackasses at 37 I can still play"

[L-TownCat]

Smitty 4 life.

 

Again I have to ask why is it that the people with the dumbest takes always have "Tar Heel" in their name?  

Who in their right mind trashes Smitty?  The guy that gave us a reason to watch panther football for years while we sucked fat greasy ass bubbles out of roadkill raccoons.

I can instantly tell the new generation of fans (or the child of a Smitty hater) by how they reference the absolute best player to ever lace em up for us.

Just an FYI, you look dumb.  Get educated.

Ill always root for smitty. That dude is a monster. He gave everything to this organization and he balled hard for us. I hope he makes it to Canton because he is truly one of the more feared receivers ever this game has seen at his size. He deserves to be in Canton and if the Panthers were to all a sudden shut down I would go for Baltimore. I wish he was here in his final year. I hope he retires a panther (although I dont see that happening). But I do wish him best of luck this year and he goes out ballin'.

Sort of feel like he is that girlfriend you had a bad break up with but put aside feelings but know there is no chance of dating her again. Just corgial but know her past and she knows yours and is cool with the family.

Tougher than a nickel steak, meaner than a junkyard dog. Smitty will play for as long as he wants to and he'll be a starter that will out work and out play anyone else on the field.

We didn't let him go because he was worn out and useless. We let him go because there can only be alpha dog for a team. It was the best move for us as a team. Still hated to see him go, though.

well at least his mouth hasn't lost a step

It's hard to bet against Smitty's passion and dedication. He's proven many people wrong all throughout his career. If he can lay the wood against Father Time this year, I wouldn't mind at all.

Whether he'd retire as a Panther, I honestly believe that to be a moot point. Even if he refuses to ever come back into our fold, history isn't going to remember him as a Baltimore Raven. Most of his major accomplishments was with us.

You guys do know Father Time is undefeated, right?  When he barley gets 500 yards this year.  Father Time will be smiling down on him.  I wonder if you guys would still take up for him, if he retired a Raven?  I'm going to assume, probably not.  

He can retire a Raven if he so chooses but it will never take away him being a Panther.  The majority of his career is with Carolina.  More importantly Jake Delhomme and Smitty.  Jake had as much to do with his success as he did himself.   If Jake wasn't the gunslinger he was and had the faith in Smitty to come out of a double or triple team, Steve may never have had all those receptions.  

Highlights don't change.  If he goes into the Hall of Fame (which IMO he will) the majority of highlights will be from his time as a Carolina Panther.  Plus they put all the teams a player played on their placards below the bust.  I know I was at HOF in June.

Barley? Do we need some Hops too? Make a new style of beer?  JK

 This is Smitty's last year so he'll go out with a Bang.  Baltimore has another WR threat so Smitty might see a ton of one on ones.   He'll finish his career 2016 pushing if not exceeding 1000 yds.

Good grief bunch of homers. 

Was Smitty good player. Yes. 

 

GOAT for Panthers yes. In the league top 10.  

Smitty had to go his time with the Panthers ran his course 3 years longer than it should. Smitty was a bad teammate and mentor.

Homers?  Because they believe he'll have a good season and be in the HOF?

No one here said anything about bringing him back or his ability to get along.

Or maybe that is the direction you want this conversation to go... you know reverse psychology poo.

No, people stating he's better than Jerry Rice.

It's a valid argument.  Rice had many great years and is one of the greatest WRs to ever play the game but Smitty was, is a force.  At 37 and teams still game planning for him.  

If you ask me who was the greatest WR I would probably say Rice.  Numbers don't lie.   But I am a strong supporter that Smitty will be in the HOF.  Who made more highlight real catches.   Hands Down Smitty. More dangerous? Smitty.  Rice was in a system with a great QB.  Only ifs apply how great Smitty would have been with a Great QB.  Jake Delhomme's Panther Lore is about 95% because of Smitty.

Smith isn't the best WR of his time much less all time. Let's be realistic. He has some serious competition in his own time frame to bear our in order to make the HOF. Is it possible, yes.......but not exactly likely.

No, no its not.  Not valid at all.  

More dangerous?  LOL, what?  Like seriously, Jerry Rice is the GOAT for a reason.  Hell, I would take Randy Moss over Smitty too.
