I don't have a favorite moment or play but Steve is my favorite player of all time, nobody can replace him. He has been my hero since I was a child and he is a hero into my adult life. I can't even think of what a team would be without him. The day he retires will be the day I cry. If this franchise still is around in 100 years I honestly believe people will look back and realize that Stevonne Latrall Smith defined what means to be a Panther.

About the play vs Houston, the day after the game i saw an awesome picture of that moment on the Charlotte Observer.

Smitty about engulfed by a wave of Houstonians.

If one of you know their Zod feel free to ask him for that picture, i don't trust my English enough..

oh come on x-clown. That was the biggest play probably in franchise history. one of the longest playoff games in nfl history, both teams drenched in sweat, and probably only had one or two plays left in them. Huge underdogs on the road. His highlight reel is one for the ages, but x-clown was bigger than just him.

In the Cardinals game in 05, he caught a smokescreen and just trucked into the corner for a ten yard gain after he was "tackled". Then later on in the game he caught another smokescreen, looked like he was going to do the same thing, and then ran around the dude for a big gain. I haven't seen it since then, but I thought it was hilarious. It showed so much of what he is and was as player.

to me, the fact that they dont run this anymore means I dont think he can do that anymore. He's still fast but the unique explosiveness is fading now. I remember them running it a couple of times maybe two years ago and he just wasnt shaking anyone off anymore. He can still go through a lot corners on that play but I dont think he is shaking them off and just flat out running around them anymore.

His top speed is still up there but his acceleration is fading a little now. Whatever, he's still a beast and can still stiff arm fools.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
