Steve Smith talks about retirement AGAIN

[CRA]

Just saying. 89 is the most passionate player ever in this franchise and idiots have the nerve to question his attitude. I'm sick and tired of it. We should be complaining about players like Lafail etc who arn't doing anything but instead we criticize our biggest threat on offense? 89 don't need us, we need him. If we don't want him, trade him to Atl so he can be on a competitive team and blow our defense up twice a year for how many more years he has left. Itll be nice to see this huddle shut the fcuk up

Yeah, Smith has heart and passion....

He also has stupidity that pops up and people try to claim that is heart and passion. It isn't.

[ReadyorNot]

I don't think he is garbage or that his physical ability suggests he should retire.

Simply pointing out what 89 did Sunday was utter poo....and he hurt this offense. The past 3 weeks he hasn't lived up to what is expected of him on this team.

....and LaFell ain't got diddly to do with what is expected of a player of 89's caliber with a C on his jersey.

Captains don't kill drives and get 15yd penalties like Steve. Steve is still immature.

I agree, in a football environment....Smith will always be a hot head and immature. Said it this offseason when everyone claimed one season (2011) meant Steve was now mature.

I can't stand Clausen....put Smith was an immature brat in 2010. Every other year Smith turns into a brat

Smitty bangs on Cam for his attitude during and after games, yet he talks retirement EVERY time this team goes through a hard time. The irony kills me.

Drive killing penalties and the fact he's dropped five balls this year. Take off the homer glasses.

My homer glasss sees that Smith is:

• He's tied at 15th in the league in receiving yards with 388 (Tony Gonzalez)
  
• He's averaging 18.5 yards receiving (Clyde Gates NYJ, Tate Cin)
  
• He's tied at 17th in the league averaging 77.6 yards per game
  
• All of this with only 21 receptions.
  

Steve Smith by far is the best WR on the team and obviously one of the best in the league. Put on your homer glasses...

You can always tell it's Fall. Either Steve Smith wants to retire or he wants to be traded!

[CarolinaPride5]

Damn... I can't imagine turning the TV on on Sunday's and not seeing Smitty come out of the tunnel.

[MadHatter]

I am seriously trying to figure out why most of you cheer for this team. This board had become the biggest group of Whitney little birches that I have ever seen.

We are worse that the Ciwnoys, Falcin, and Eagles fans put together.

[SOJA]

this article isn't the reason why we should look hard at WR next year in the first two rounds next year, but we should

[CarolinaAllDay]

If smitty goes, i will shed a manly tear and continue to wear my 89 authentic on game day for years to come

[broseidon]

Id think about it too after all the dropped passes he had last Sunday

[Way Truth Life]

Smith stays 2 more years and gets a statue....that is all
