Quite a few in 2010 actually. People around here were ready to run him out of town during that time. Steve didn't want to be here and it showed. 

Would you want to play if Pickles was your QB?

The only panther that deserves a statue already has one. If you want to get rid of richardsons statue and replace it with something else just move sam mills statue in its place.

that makes no sense at all.....plays off are plays off

Look Smitty was a great talent...but can we name 1 player he took under his wing and tried to make better?  It seemed all he wanted was to get his numbers and then win as long as his numbers were good.  Jake was scared of him so all he did was throw the ball to smitty.

When Cam got here, Cam looked straight down on this little guy yelling at him and didnt just throw the ball to smitty bc his that was what he wanted.  For these reasons he shouldnt have his jersey retired or a statue....hell i wouldnt let him retire a panther even if he wanted too.

 

I have to give praise to Gettleman...looking back that was the best move he made was when he let smitty go

Sure - because that would mean I was a highly compensated NFL player. 

You asked a question. I chimed in. Didn't realize there were stipulations with the question being asked. I just remembered how many people were fed up with Steve (and the team itself) at that time.

No statue but nobody should ever wear 89 again.

Wow this thread went to poo fast. To be fair this is a pretty purposeless topic. How the fug did this even come up? 

 

Only sentiment I have: i wonder how many of those bashing Steve Smith for his character gets pissed off when we don’t sign, trade or draft players with character concens........

put him in the elusive ring of honor...his number retired...NO WAY

Well buddy you will get your feelings hurt.  89 will have his number retired.  You can count on it.

There is no way possible way we could as a organization give this dude a statue.  I really dont think he needs to be added in the ring of honor.  Smitty is out spoken and has a huge attitude, he is the definition of small man syndrome. 

Smith needs to be recognized. He has been a great asset to this team when we had him attitude or not and he deserves to be in Ring of Honor and whatever else he deserves but he doesn't need lame comments like the ones you made here. He made his presence known and doesn't back down to anyone which made him who he was so give the man his due and stop commenting with nonsense.

Your evidence is not particularly compelling. Most people would agree that Smith had his character flaws but using that reasoning to trash him just makes it seem like you have a personal ax to grind rather than even attempting to make a coherent argument as to why he should be excluded from any franchise accolades. Perhaps that is your personal criteria for what constitutes merit as a Panther but you have to admit that it clearly does not align with the majority of the fans and likely not with the franchise itself.

why??  Because he demanded the ball while he was here...got pissed when he didnt get the ball?  He prolly should have put better numbers than he has
