I'm not buying into Steve Smith is about to make something out of someone. 

89 has been around a LONG time.  He isn't the WR whisperer/mentor.  Put this under the been here and heard that before pile. 

 

He was high on DJ and he turned out pretty darn good. So you would rather Steve Smith not attempt to help at all? Your thinking him even trying to help Mingo is a bad thing? Really makes no sense to me how this could be a bad thing at all and he could only offer Mingo help. Just because Steve Smith has not trained up a Jerry Rice does not make his input worthless I wouldn't think.

I don't think he has to be.  I'm also not saying Mingo will suddenly be a Pro Bowler.  Mingo was a rookie last year, out of position in a terrible offense.  Waking up early and working out with a HOF WR can't really hurt.  If he can pick up any pointers, work habits, or even that attitude I am all for it.  

This. What the hell and why would anyone have any problems what so ever with a one time dominant WR who had the most ferocious attitude I've ever seen on a WR helping a young WR he believes in? It can be nothing but a benefit either way.

So Smitty is teaching Mingo how to bail out his QB? 

Love Jake but Smith bailed him out more often than not 

That’s the most important skill he could teach him on this current Panthers roster.

If anything he was prob a detriment to young guys at times. I doubt he’s ever really tried or synced up with WRs before. This could be the first time ever since he’s been retired. 
 

I think that Drew Carter trained with him but that’s all I remember. Could be wrong, haven’t been paying close attention these last few years hah.

No disrespect to Smitty, but he doesn't have a great track record working with young receivers.  He didn't help Keary Colbert, Drew Carter, and Dwayne Jarrett.  Now, I don't blame him for their failures, but lets just say he couldn't get them to rise to the occasion.  Will Mingo succeed under his tutelage?  Maybe, maybe not.  I say it depends only if Mingo is actually a good receiver and is bringing talent to the table.  I don't believe Smitty can make a receiver great.

The difference is Smitty when he was here was different from Smitty now. Now he's throwing knowledge and isn't emotionally tied to it. Back then, I could see him trying to help a guy and if he didn't get it, getting pissed because he realized he'd have to carry the load longer because his help is trash.

Smitty’s been wrong about guys before but I don’t remember him ever working with any of them this closely. It’ll be a nice trial run of him as a WR coach.

I hope none of you naysayers were the ones beating the drum for Frank Reich. Our GOAT WR deserves at least that much grace.

      That’s a book of the great life that the Panthers have had. So great to look back on the great players and seasons that we have had. But I think the book could have been twice the size. We have had a good 30 years, up and down the standings. i know we are in a bad spot right now, but hopefully before long we will be climbing back towards that Super Bowl championship

      LmAO ..it does not make any sense whatsoever why a team that is currently 2-0 would  trade their backup Qb to a team that is 0-2 & in the same NFC conference ? & what is Seattle going to do if Geno Smith is injured ? wouldn't a team that is  currently 2-0 & is quiet  possibly going to the playoffs  want a decent plan B that already knows how to operate their system & has some form of chemistry with their players  , like I said before this is the NFL &teams especially ones like Seattle  are NOT going to trade their backup Qb 2 games into the regular season...just saying

      The 2025 QB free agents, who would you sign?

      Yeah, I can see that happening, but my only thing is, whoever he goes to, it's going to be a bad team. Not a whole lot of difference between us and say Denver, Jax, the Giants or the Colts. Of course, we're probably worse, but not by that much. Manning would have to pick his poison.
