Throwin’ it back to the day when 89 officially became Fred Smoot’s Father. 

2005 Smitty was the best Smitty—productivity AND theatrics.

I was lucky to be at that game.

He will be our first drafted HOFer.  I would love for anyone to tell me a tougher WR.  5'9" with the biggest chip on his shoulders than any player I have ever seen.  Stiff arm that is legendary and was not going to be denied.  

I miss him and loved watching him play.  He was one of those players you held your breathe because you knew something was going to happen when he touched the ball.

Love Smith.  Most dynamic Panther ever.   What’s always missing from his highlight reals is all the quick 1-2 yard out passes that he would then take it to the house.   He did that often and I think it was either the ‘03 or ‘’05 season he did that like five times.  I want to see all those again.

Nearly every time he had a chance to get the ball in his hands, magic happened.  Dude was an unrelenting monster on the field and made sure he outplayed everyone.  Can you imagine if Smith was, taller, bigger and faster?  Thing that made Smitty special was the chip on his shoulder from constantly being told he would not make it in the NFL ( too short, not fast enough ).  Smith took it upon himself to prove everyone wrong, every single play.  Even when people were telling him that he was the best in the game and possibly one of the greatest of all time, it still was never enough for him. We will never again see a player with the ferocity that Smith brought to the field.  How people call themselves Panthers fans and somehow hate Smith is beyond me.  Dude had anger issues, its well known but its part of who he was and what made him so great on the field.

I don't hate him but the guy was a poo teammate despite being one of the best in the game. He was no different than any other superstar WR with drama.

You must be from the crowd that isn't even old enough to know about greatness of number 89 and say things you have no clue what you are talking about.

Difference with Smith was that he wasn't looking for the limelight just because, he was trying to win. A lot of times he was the only one on the field who seemed to give a damn. He was a bad teammate to Ken Lucas for sure, but most of his "drama" was just trash talking opponents and calling guys out for not doing enough.

This.  He was actually the opposite of the typical drama queen WR.  I think he just played with a lot of passion and practiced the same way.

      Redzone Offense vs. KC by drive

      By Icege · Posted

      NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.

      The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
