Smith hopes Panthers have learned from conservative approach last year vs. Saints

[Tank]

He is seeing what is left of his career window closing fast and isn't taking it very well. Can't blame him. Wasted talent unless something changes quick.

Not really. It's a simple matter of deduction.

1. Smith is a smart dude.

2. He's obviously sick of the way we run the Offense

3. It's probably not taken 7-8 years for him to get sick of Fox's M.O.

4. If he's choosing to say something now, then he's obviously ready to deal with the consequences... like other "disruptions" have been dealt with.

Smitty is the exception to any and every rule you think you know. He might not be our most explosive player anymore (dwill) or our heart of the team (beason) but he his and has been and will be the face of our franchise. See Ken Lucas incident for proof of leniency for Smith.

here we go "reading between the lines" and getting into the players heads again....

Yeahhh... they need to :chillpill:.

Unfortunately, after these comments, Smith won't be here next year. Even if Fox is let go, Richardson doesn't tolerate back talk from his employees (see Kris Jenkins). Smith will be traded. Bank on it.

And knowing Smith, he's a smart guy... he's probably doing this on purpose for that very reason... he want's to go somewhere that REALLY wants to win.

well, first of all, he didn't really say anything worse than that one time he talked about "going up 14 and acting like it's 100" and that was like 4 years ago, even before his contract extension.

but I bet Smitty would love an offensive minded coach to come in that isn't so obsessed with wanting to run for 280 yards and only having to throw 15 times every game.
