If we had kept Smith we wouldn't have made the Super Bowl.

? Wideout was arguably the panthers' biggest weakness last year.

His point is that Cam would've forced the ball to Steve due to him POTENTIALLY complaining about production

As of last game, Steve has caught 67% of passes thrown at him. Kelvin has caught 51%.

You make it seem like Steve is dropping passes left and right... he's dropped three passes. Kelvin has dropped one. And he has more catches on far fewer targets.

But this is also a direct correlation to Cam's accuracy issues, for example the times he overthrows Kelvin. Because those count into his targeted catch %. Just out of curiosity I wanted to know what Steve's % of caught targets were with Cam throwing him the ball

Steve Smith(2013) : 110 Targets 58.2 catch %

Kelvin Benjamin(2016) : 111 Targets 51.4 catch %

They look eerily similar.

This isn't to knock Cam or degrade Steve its just that going off of catch percentage can be a skewed way of looking at it, since the accuracy or inaccuracy of the QB plays a part.

Yeah, i sure do remember my hottest lover. Man, we we're amazing together.  

She still looks like a knockout. 

Man, if i can only have one more roll in the hay with her....

We had the #1 passing game in the NFL last season. Team chemistry was the team's biggest strength, which was able to develop only after Smith was cut.

#24 =\= #1 (yards per game). 

 

And even if the panthers were #1, a top ranked attack doesn't preclude improvement from the (re)addition of a stud player.

Hello, ACP here with my daily "y'all are stupid" comment!

Get over it and stop making threads about him.  We all like him.  We all would love him to still be playing for us.  But he's not and hasn't been for a few years now.  He's not coming back no matter how many threads you make.  Let it go.

My god, I think you guys would be making threads if he had retired a panther.  "If Smitty hadn't retired, we'd be in the super bowl!!!". "if Smitty comes out of retirement, we'll win it all!!"

Looks like he's hanging it up.

Longtime Carolina Panthers and current Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Steve Smith Sr. is ready to put up his cleats for good and walk away from the NFL.

The Baltimore Ravens were eliminated from playoff contention on Sunday and the following day, Smith announced that the next game would be his final game of his career.

Currently 7th all time in receiving yards. with 1 more year he would have surpassed Randy Moss. Still 1st ballot HoF though

Nice.

I'm going to use it again when Atlanta is knocked out in the playoffs.

He will not hang up his cleats. I dont see a man who played with a chip on his shoulder hang it up just short of 15,000 yards and perhaps going to top 3 all time.

Sucks, because if he didn't get hurt last year, he would've been at 15000. I hope he gives it one more season.
