Steve Smith Sr. inducted into North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame


Recommended Posts

Good! It's time for him to get even more acknowledgements for what he did on the field and what he has done off the field.

A couple of incidents in practices have been hung around his neck like an albatross. Deserved or not, he has more than redeemed himself for all of the good he has done. 

Sorry, I love Smitty.

I was worried they would always overshadow his accomplishments but they're just footnotes now. He put in the work to become a better man for his own sake and his family's. One of the best redemption arcs I've seen.

He’s a hall of fame receiver in my mind.  I don’t care what anyone says.  He was incredibly dominant in his prime.

Zero doubt.

One of the main reasons I still hold JR in reverence, is that I never had a team to call my own, we were sort of no man’s land. You can never take that away from him, whatever else you want to cancel culture him with. 

So then, we have the Panthers. And there is Steve after a little while. A true on the field no bullshit ass whipper. Against the best. Representing us. I knew what I was looking at with him.

If more people had seen the Panthers he would have been a superstar. And we got to watch him every week. Definitely an all timer.

This is just the beginning.  Pro Football Hall of Fame is next.

He was a defensive coordinator worst nightmare.  My favorite thing about 89 is he didn't back down to anyone.  MJ is the GOAT but I cannot think of anyone that took smack talking to a level of MJ other than Agent 89.

I will never forget Fred Smoot talking how he was going to shut Smitty down. After that game Smoot was never the same. Plus I was estatic to have seen that game live.

    • They gave him franchise QB money. Sorry but if you don't earn it you can be embarrassed.   He's rich he can take it. Stop feeling sorry for people who can't live up to their contract. This isn't a sport to be soft. Daniels deserves to give back some of that money he stole if you ask me.
    • And it was coming off of a bye week. Perhaps he should vacation a bit in Germany in the off season, something certainly seemed to help him there.  No, really... He showed maturation and the possibility that he's turning a corner. That wasn't the NY Giants out there, but the back to back Super Bowl champions with the #3 defense in the league, with them coming off of a prime time loss. And that was a 9-1 team we just played literally down to the last second. Bryce played so well that maybe, maybe he wins over some nay-sayers. It's still early, though, but what a nice breath of fresh air that was. You can win quite a few games if that is your normal performance. It is obvious that we are still on the learning curve, though. But that was one helluva test he just took. Some of these QBs coming out of college just don't have a lot of games under their belts, especially in top end programs. They are perhaps just a year to two years behind center in games that matter before they move up. It can take them some time to hit their stride. We can still be cautious about our future and still celebrate a great game by the kid, though, and we should. He earned the laurels today, or had before they were snatched away at the last second.
