No thanks I got 10 hours of Steve Smith hyping Bryce young videos from last spring. 

But...his Pro Day was like listening to Coltrane!

He hasn't been good at WR evaluation

Smitty should be the next head coach.

How many WRs prospered in Carolina with Smitty as their mentor?

 

I'll wait over here.

We have never been good at drafting WRs, but I actually saw him bullying Dwayne Jarrett at an OTA and mentioned it to Jarrett afterwards...He was visibly upset, and shook my hand very firmly.  Smith was in his head and it was upsetting him.  That is one example and I do not make points based on isolated cases, but add that to the two punch outs, and it suggests that Smith is not a person who excels at nurturing talent around him.  I even said something to Moose about it later (after he returned from the Bears) and he just smiled (very likeable, laid back dude) and he said, "Some folks see teammates as competition." He then joked, "I was here before him.  He knows better than to get into my head."  Smith has a rep for being an Asshat, so my theory is consistent with the rumors if nothing else--btw, Moose added that Smith is a great guy, a family man, and a heck of a competitor.   We then joked about Kenny Moore saying that he had a #87 jersey as a kid growing up in Charlotte--and it was a toddler shirt.  (Moore was a WR here for a brief period who grew up in Charlotte)   they were teammates.

I loved Steve Smith the player as much as anyone.  He had his faults, but he was a monster on the field for us.  However, I'm gonna go ahead and go on record that I don't think he would be a good GM or head coach.

I'd rather have him come out of retirement and hit the field than be GM.

Um no.
