I’m a skins fan but have always respected Smith’s game. He reminds me of Santana Moss but a little bit better. They should let him stay as long as he wants. He has been the face of that franchise for years.

As a Nashvillian who’s transplanted in Charlotte, I sure hope these Panthers fans know what a gift Steve Smith’s team loyalty has been all these years. I still wince at the day we Titans’ fans lost our beloved receiver 7 years ago. Seeing Derrick Mason in a Ravens uniform was … just … so … wrong.

I used to like the guy, but over time he’s proven himself to be a mouthy punk with a “me first” mentality that is damaging to the team…

I agree with those above who said Cam will never be able to take over that team unless/until Smith ships out.

Of course, Cam has a maturity deficit of his own.

Panthers are better off looking for leadership on defense.

This guy is the only Panther other than Julius Peppers (who left the team) anyone will remember in 20 years. I’d let him play as long as he wants in Carolina.

Don’t compare Steve with Tiki. Tiki bailed, Steve is in for the longhaul and isnt trying to protect his body like that wuss.

Thats on the QB, not the receiver. We cant run the ball at all right now, cripping our passing game isnt a solution.

@Panthersfan550

Your not talking about the Panthers in the playoffs are you? Really? Get a grip man. Steve Smith has done more in the playoffs than any wr on the Giants? How many rings does he have?

By: giantschamps

giantschamps — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 20:57:22 +0000

And, how has that worked out for them so far? How many picks have been thrown forcing the ball to him or balls bouncing off his hands. Of course he leads the team in yards, he get at least 16 targets a game.

hey giants champs- he has done more in the playoffs alone than anybody on your team, including cruz, has ever done

Remember how much better Eli was after Tiki left? Cam can’t lead this team with Smith around. Maybe not without him either, but let’s find out.

Steve will be in Carolina 2-3 more years and then he’ll retire and be in the HOF 5-6 years after that. He’ll be top ten in most receiving categories by the time he hangs up his cleats, or more appropriately, donates them to his Samaritan’s Feet charity.

To everyone screaming about TDs, the guy is 5’9″. He’s not a redzone target. His TDs normally come from him breaking one big.

lol, what has he done? Leading the team in receiving yards and drawing coverage his way.

He has scored 7 TD in his last 25 games. Elite? I don’t think so.

@panthers24

What has he done for the team this year? Zero TDs! Whines and complains to Cam on the sideline, when he can’t even get open.

As a Panther fan, I would like to see Steve Smith retire as a Panther.

There are plenty of teams that could use a good RB for down the stretch though.

———————————————

Do you think either are that significant an upgrade for anyone? The Packers are the only contender I can think of where these 2 would be enough of an upgrade that it would be worth giving up anything.

Getting rid of him would not help Newton, Smith is the only receiver with any sort of speed on the team. Good luck with a starting lineup of Lafell and Armanti Edwards. Get Deandre Hopkins in the draft to round out this receiving corps.

Ohh Ken Lucas.. what happened to him.. solid with the Hawks and then faded once Stevie gave him the business in Carolina.

Do it Ozzie! We need a playmaking wide receiver who can get off bump and run coverage!

Smith is part of the problem in Carolina. Cam feels like he should force the ball to him when other wr are open. I think if they trade him Cam would improve as he then would be able to scan the field to find the open wr. Smith is a great wr, but he is also a whinner and a bully instead of a leader. He also drops to many.
