Smitty returns to practice

[panthers55]

I am sure he was coming back after the bye anyway so the timing isn't that relevant still it is somewhat amusing that he is coming back this week in light of the discussion the other day about being more motivated to play if he felt that he was going to get the ball and that he had more success under Moore than Clausen.

It also begs the question as to whether Smitty coming back may have influenced who is playing at quarterback this week. It surely can't sit well for your 1 true receiver playmaker not to get targeted but 3 or 4 times a game and rarely on a downfield route.

Again I doubt that was the primary reason but it may have weighed into the equation.

Gotta give props to Gettis this season. He's definitely a bright spot.

I remember when over half the Huddle said Gettis would be cut...I lol to myself and even made a bet with Squirrel he wouldn't get cut..Never did get my nutz he owes me..lol

I'm super excited for the inevitable SF __ CAR 7, and Moore has his TD to Smith amid 2-4 turnovers and DeAngelo runs it less than 13 times.

So far I've made two predictions/observations been called crazy on both and was correct on both. I wonder how long it will take before the huddle realizes I'm not a homer but an awesome prediction maker and how long before my 3rd observation reveals itself to be true.

When you are wrong and all else fails...try to be funny.

Was it you that created that thread yesterday saying you believed Smitty was going to be "extra" motivated to come back?

Props for taking all that flack. Looks like you could have been on to something.

E CAT started the thread and I subtly suggested that with Moore back in the lineup Smith would return because he wasn't a fan of Jimmy at QB.

Haters hated.

TheRealDeal was right again. Seems to be a trend around here lately.

Maybe he was waiting for Clausen to be benched?

Im starting to think the same thing.

i hope not. if so then he needs to get moved off the team.

that isn't a pro clausen sentiment, btw. it's a "get behind whoever is throwing you the ball and don't try to bully the team into doing what you it to do or threaten to sit out because you aren't getting your way" sentiment. if thats his version of leadership he fails.

hopefully that isn't the case and he's healthy again.

yea thats not the best way to handle this but he could see clausen wasnt able to read the field over the middle only outs or dumpoffs and after being tortured with Jake for the last five years he was just fed the f*ck up. Sometimes you have to put the pressure on old foxy to get him to make the right decision hate it had to be this way but we all know what steve has been thru qb wise he deserves a qb to atleast throw the ball deep twice a game minimal.

I hate both of u!!!

As someone said, if he healed because Moore was starting he needs to be off the team. Huge for Moore that he is back tho, conveniently.

I don't get that logic though.....so if Steve somehow willed himself heatlhy in record time he should be off the team?

with Steve and Moore back....the offense and therefore team could flip the switch at any point in time.

Yes, lets speculate about Steve Smith's return with no fact-based opinions to back it up. He's back because hes healthy, all that other BS is useless speculation.
