What Mike Wallace has done in 2 games/ Dewayne Jarrett

It's a valid one.

All the credit in the world for developing Steve Smith and Muhsin Muhammad, but outside of that what does he have to hang his Panthers hat on?

I will give him credit for Moose but I think Smith's success is more because of the fact that the man has mad love for this game. He has the biggest heart on this team. And I think that's what separates him from anyone else in this league.

I can see that, and I'd also have to give some (unintentional) credit to Marty Hurney.

Back when Smith was getting ready to come off his rookie contract, somewhere in the discussion of a possible extension Marty Hurney referred to Smith as "unproven". At the time, it was a valid description, but "unproven" wasn't the word that was relayed back to Smith by his agent.

Instead, Smith was told that he'd been described by Hurney as "marginal" :sosp:

Smith's ego being what it is, he didn't take kindly to the supposed comment. The record was eventually set straight and Smith was re-signed, but I'm not sure the chip ever came off his shoulder.

And thus, you have the Steve Smith of today.

Exactly, Smith's sucess' is more a result of his tenacity and fire then because of coaching. Best pick we have ever made by far. He was a 3rd round pick and is IMO the best WR in the league.

Is there a part on this coacing staff that anyone is happy with? i know Im getting angry with ST, D-line, WRs, QB, DC... The running backs and offensive line are carrying the work load in my eyes. We have yet to develop a WR since steve smith. that has to speak volumes about this staff

I don't even think our Oline has played up to expectations either especially the 1st game.

I'm trying to remember who the Pro Bowl coaching staff was one of the years he went as a return guy. He went up to an offensive coach (WR coach maybe) and offered to play receiver, and the guy dismissed him, telling him to go back with the special teamers.

Agreed, as much as I like The Golden Calf of Bristol, no way we draft him.

I would be fine with no USC WR's anymore as well.

Said it before. The Golden Calf of Bristol is one of the nicest kids to ever play the game, but his profile just doesn't translate well to being an NFL QB.

He's a superior athlete, but that doesn't necessarily make him a good quarterback.
