Things over the past year that Smitty has done that don't correspond to the Gettleman style

Look, I know this is beating a dead horse territory, but I was doing some Youtube searches to find some good Smitty highlights to give me some motivation while taking a procrastination break, and I ran in to a lot of videos within the past year of Smitty doing some stuff that I don't think corresponds with Dave Gettleman's philosophies. It really put some perspective and evidence supporting that he was cut more for locker room reasons.

 

It just seems to me like Smitty got more attention for his "fired up" style lately than he has since he got the publicity for fighting his teammates, which I firmly believe he's grown above.

 

This point is brought up, but when you see video after video on Youtube of one player, it puts things into perspective.

 

1. Says he wouldn't want Sanchez throwing a paper bag sandwich. True? Yes. Good for camera? No.

To me it comes down to age and saving money for the future. All the rest is the soap opera drama that is the NFL.

 

It was a decision that had to me made sooner or later and they made it when it suited them best.

 

Cowboys cut Ware, Vikes cut Allen, Chi cut Pep, Eagles cut Jackson, NO cut Sproles, we cut Smitty. All still decent players.

 

The Ravens didn't sign him for 27 odd mill over 3 years like we would be paying him either.

I think it's more of a balancing beam thing.

 

Will his future production and leadership balance out the future outbursts and salary?

 

I probably wouldn't have done it, but I'm way more tied to smitty than Gettleman is.

 

I just came upon some real proof of what he was probably looking at

 

 

[WOW!!]

Why can't we let it go??

He's gone it's over. No need to keep shitting on him.

[WOW!!]

And the "fan base" continues to shyt on the greatest Panther to ever hit the field.

I just don't understand the need to keep dragging him thru the mud.

I am sure DG looked at those exact same scenarios and was like yea screw the production he acting like a punk. I dont like that. I am going to cut Steve Smith. 

[Cpt slay a ho]

wtf...............we'd be a boring ass football team if we didn't have smitty last year, loved every second of it................just another case of as soon as a guy doesn't play for us,he becomes a instant douche bs

this is not shitting on the greatest player to wear a panthers uniform.

 

the OP is showing what would have rustled Gettlemans feathers. There is a major difference.

 

fwiw. i loved every fuging second of this past season and smitty's antics. his last season as a panther is something i will remember for the rest of my life. think about all the great moments he had this past year. his last year as a panther.

 

I think Gettleman wants Cam in control of his recievers. To be the top dog so to speak. to be the general. There was no reigning in smitty. everyone knows that.
