Steve Smith won back my respect today

[Jpjr]

That hit on Tailib at the end sealed it.

The guy worked with the young guys today.. esp Clausen.. and even got in a shot on the end for what will probably be a fine for that hit on Clausen (defenseless) on the second QB sneak. Forget about whether or not you like Clausen, that was done by Smith to prevent it happening again to his QB and was a good penalty.

Regardless throughout the game I saw him on the field coaching the rookie WRs, keeping a positive attitude, etc. It was the opposite of what I had seen the first half of the season. So I'm calling 'em like I see 'em. The guy looked like a team-first pro out there today.

So basically you haven't been paying attention?

Talib is a piece of poo and deserved to be hit harder.

cheap shots dont gain my respect

I'm not so quick to give him a pass, he's not anything like he used to be and he needs to quit acting like his poo doesn't stink because honestly, he's not that great anymore.

I personally didn't think it was a cheap shot.. the whistle hadn't blown.

He never lost mine. Steve Smith was the man today, was the man 5 years ago, and will continue being the man in the future. Lately, the popular thing to do around here was to bash Smitty, but I'll never bash the heart and soul of the Panthers. He's been carrying this franchise on his back for so long.

When he went after Talib at the end of the game, I dont necessarily think it was to have Clausens back(It couldve been, I dont know). I think Smitty had a beef with Talib, and finally found a chance to get a shot at him LOL.

I can't believe all the hate Smith gets. He's the best WR threat we have and he was getting open today. The dude is basically reason we've had any success the past decade. He's competitive and football is about hitting people. I wish more of our guys would go out and give people a piece of our mind. He hit Clausen late and Smith made him pay for it. You guys talk all this poo but he is still a great WR. He gets open, the problem is he can't throw the ball to himself.

This.

It's hilarious how all you bitches hate on Smitty and say that he's not good anymore. He's had the worst QB crew in the league, the worst play-caller in the league and one of the worst supporting WR casts in the league to work with. But somehow some of you guys think you can make a fair judgment based off of this season alone.

The fact that he had to win your respect back speaks more about you than Smitty.
