Sad Trend: Steve Smith Hinders Our Offense.

Ok, let me be clear with this before you idiots' heads explode. Steve Smith is the greateset panther to ever play and one of the best WRs to ever play the game. Yes he STILL is our best option...

 

But..

 

The game against Arizona got me thinking a lot over the passed 20 or so hours. First and foremost, the lack of progression in the play calling hurts our offense the most. Its like we are calling plays we have no matter what with no adjustment to defensive looks or trends. The offensive line being unable to protect fuels this fire. Now on to Smitty...

 

Steve Smith, 34, has obviously lost his step he once had, and it seems hes more reluctant to go up and get a ball if its not thrown in the right spot. In otherwords, hes making Cam do all the work when last year and 2 years ago, you saw him going up and snagging the ball like weve seen him do his whole career. I realize that there is less designed plays that would call for that situation, but when it does arise, you can tell something is off with Smitty. Why i think he hinders our offense is because he still demands touches like he is the same player he was in his prime. This is forcing the offense and cam to force throws/plays just to "keep him happy".

 

I get that we have no better option, but this is a big eye opener into just how important it is to have a face of the franchise type of WR.

 

I love me some Smitty, i love his tenacity, i love his passion for the game, and i still love what he brings to the table, its just time to start looking at this in a realistic light. Hes at a point in his career when he should be a slot receiver with two better/younger outside receivers.

 

 

 

What once was.

steve smith doesn't hinder our offense, lack of other productive receivers hinders our offense and lack of an offensive line that can give guys time to get open hinders our offense and the lack of a coaching staff that is qualified to coaching something other than punters and independence high hinders our offense.

Im reallllllly getting tired of him acting like he fuging made the most amazing play in the world after he makes a 5 yard play, after he dropped two key passes already. His act after every single little catch is getting really old.

If we were winning we would love it. He's been doing it for his entire career. 

 

How do you feel about Cam's first down celebration?

 

Honest question. It is starting to wear on me.

Ditto...  It started bugging me probably 10 years ago !  He was probably planning his touchdown dance instead of catchin' the damn ball !

      Updated 2025 draft order

      The qb position has been eliminated due to the low probability of the success of selecting one early.  This part got me hollering the most "You can't get so hyperfocused on one position(even the most important position in football like QB) that you just draft a QB and any QB. This leads to wasted draft picks and years of torment as you are stuck in a development cycle for nothing." "Also, if we don't get our franchise QB this draft....oh well. We got the next dozen or so drafts to keep taking cracks at it."

      Then be prepared to draft a QB the next year. When the best one would surely not play here. Then what?   This fanbase keeps preaching patience, while other bottom feeders are finding their QB's. Panthers fans are becoming blind. The losing has caught up to the fanbase. We preaching patience when we have been a bad franchise ever since Tepper took over.   But because you don't like Sanders or Ward we should pass on a QB. Then when they become franchise changers you feel bad.   Everyone knows this franchise will continue to suck until they get a franchise QB. Chasing LBs and DEs isn't helping us. We can address the defense after we get the QB.   Cmon Hepcat don't let the blind lead you they blind for a reason!

      Imagine posting on a forum to mock people for posting on a forum. Whether you realize it or not you just played yourself. LOL  Guess what? We've heard people like you lecture people with opinions about how *insert former Panthers front office or coach moron* knows best and we're all just idiots. This forum exists to discuss Panthers football and that includes *GASP* sharing opinions that may be contrary to what the Panthers end up doing.  If you just want a circle jerk of an echo chamber reassuring you that everything the Panthers do is brilliant despite the abysmal record on the field, I think they made a Discord group for that.
