I am over Smith in all honesty. great player. great person. Shitty teammate. 

With that said, I certainly enjoyed him calling out the same kind of poo many here call out as downfalls or things that need correcting. That kind of honesty is rarely heard in the context of calling a game. I LOL'ed when Curtis Samuel was brought up and the reply was "He only had 4-5 catches per game...not a big loss"...

Not a fan of Smitty..but I am a fan of honest perspective in the booth!

89 was a great football player.  I think he tries and does some good things in life. 

I think he basically acknowledges he is a pretty shitty guy overall though.   I don’t find enjoyment in 89 shitting on people.   Because he doesn’t just do it a Talib.  It’s universal.  Claiming it is just the truth is a lie.  89 is just an asshole.  It is what it is.   

you would probably rather have a beer in life with Joey Slye.  Heck of a WR though.

I was referring to him giving honest takes about plays we were running, Darnold and happy feet...etc etc. We usually don't hear that kind of commentary from the home team broadcast booth. I felt like he took a lot of the gripes from here, and took it on air where it cannot be ignored so easily. 

The personal stuff about players....well I agree with you that is just Smitty being (the asshole) who he is.

guys that have an axe to grind against the team should not have a platform to grind it from.  Apparently #89 does.  

 

Shame on Tepper for sucking up to the ax grinding jerk.

 

signed a former Steve Smith fan.

I rely don't understand your rationale. If Smitty had an ax to grind, he'd be dogging out the organization and airing dirty laundry. He loves the Panthers and wants what's best for them. And, unfortunately, that's not Joey Slye.

I don't know guys, I honestly had a great time listening to Smith. His commentary was hilarious, and while he was mean, it's not like the entire building didn't agree with his takes. When Joey missed that field goal, I knew it was over for him, you know it was over for him, it's the nature of football. 

Sure he is rough, but if he can clean it up a  bit he might gain some traction.

At the least he showed some excitement. Beats the heck out of Mick Nixon's near sleepy depressing calls.

Although I did cringe as some moments of Steve Smith last night, but not enough to make a big deal of this. He is nothing compared to Shaq and Barkley on Inside the NBA , and that's a literal award winning and top rated show on TNT. 

 

It's preseason and being color analyst was the liven up the situation.

Now that you say it, you are correct that he is similar to Barkley in his level of honesty. It is a bit cringey at moments, but that is the reason that he is there. He is the polar opposite of Mick.

The happy feet he showed and commented on werent happy feet though.   That's actually how a qb is supposed to keep their feet moving and bouncing.  That was correct footwork for a qb in the pocket.   I'm not sure if Smith just doesnt know that somehow or he already knew he was going to talk about happy feet with darnold and just chose a bad time.

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
