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.

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.

      My Personal Takeaway from This Game vs Cheifs

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      What I really learned here is that the Carolina Panthers aren't anywhere near as bad as I initially thought they were earlier this year.  We've got a young and growing offense with some promising parts. But it still needs some tweaks and improvements.  We really still could still use a dominant #1 WR. But Chubba,  Legette, Coker,  and J.Sanders have generally looked decent. Bryce took a big leap after the benching. We can score enough points to keep pace with 2x defending super bowl champions, so offense isn't a huge issue. Main thing that needs improvement is defense. We sorely need a CB 2, and a number of new players at Dline and LB.  We're not quite as bad at edge with Wonnum showing promise.  But we definitely need 1 or 2 more edges Clowney is old.  Run D is probably worse prevailing theme these past couple years. We really need a good young stud or two to pair with Derrick Brown and another LB to pair up with Trevin Wallace. If Morgan and Canales can focus on rebuilding the defense this off-season and possibly going out and getting a #1 WR. This team could easily be somewhere around 7-10 to 10-7 and flirting with playoffs in 1 or 2 seasons. Overall this game has made me feel alot more positive about the direction of the team.

      Team is looking good for next season

      By PadresPanthersFan · Posted

      With our picks we need pass rush, lb, Safety, a speedster yac wr, o line depth and I still want a mid round qb. We got 9 picks and 8 in the first 5 rounds. If they pull Off another solid draft we be cooking.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By frankw · Posted

      We had one passing touchdown against the Giants and one passing touchdown against the Chiefs today. Yes a good backup can replicate that. And that is why Andy Dalton in significantly less games has the same number of 30 point outings as Bryce Young. I am on board with you guys about wanting to be hopeful for the future. Today was a good performance to build on especially at home. But let's please keep things in perspective. BTW the Bucs who honestly aren't even that good blew the doors off the Giants today after we went to overtime against them with 17 points. Again. Perspective.
