Steve Smith Sr. On Cam Newton: "We Bumped Heads" In Carolina

[Bishop_BP_Jakes]

There wasn't many other reasons I could think of why the best receiver in your franchise's history could be released

I see Carolina's FO logic between why they picked who they did....a transcendent young QB who seemingly could only mature through sole leadership or an older great receiver guy who they deemed a nuisance

They handled it very poorly and it doesn't sound like he was given too many chances to change and give the reigns up, but I gotta think Smitty himself knew that he should've gave Cam some more control

Exactly. But tbh i don't see how it could've ended smoothly. Smitty seem like one of them nikkas that takes any and everything personal. So not sure what the folks in charge coulda done to make his exit better.

Dude was 34, with a bad knee, was beefing with his young QB, and had a year left on his deal. I thought we shoulda traded him if anything, but i understood why we let him roll.

 

[Carolina Slim]

I kinda understand why the decision was made. I do think however that we coulda had them co-exist for at least another season.

 

[director_of_bands]

hold up lololol how does SS get a football life and he aint even retired yet? ..oh yeah of course the media is eager to get this controversy going

 

[Morose Polymath]

We missing his and Norman's fire every team need a nikka like that

Panthers needed a guy like him who wouldn't have backed down against Denver.

Definitely don't think he would've allowed Cam to get speared in the dome every week

This is one thing you can't deny if we had his toughness on the Offensive side of the ball the Super Bowl coulda had a completely different outcome. Smitty aint getting punked by Talib (as a matter of fact Smitty already sonned him) and he's making those clutch catches.

Damn thinking about what could of been

 

[2Quik4UHoes]

Great tutor? Probably would've broken that man's jaw for doing something wrong.

Nah, I don't think that young nikka would allow himself to get hemmed up. That'd earn enough of Steve's respect to give up some game to him.

 

[Henry Orbit]

2005 he should have won MVP, but NFL writers have a bias of giving that award to wide receivers. Him and Calvin Johnson were the only two receivers I've even seen put an offense on their back for a whole season

He's lucky he played in this market, cause in this PC NFL culture we're in now, media would have dragged him through the coals calling him a bad teammate with the way how he acted. If T.O. did half the stuff Steve did, he would have been blackballed sooner. He ended a practice squad player's career

On a side note The Football Life Documentary on Smitty this Friday is going to be

What always stands out to me about this whole situation is he was only gonna play one more year.

Cam would've been iight.

And this was coming off the year we got sent home by the 49ers in the offs. We was already on the rise.

Just one more year brehs we could've sent him out the right way

I know Smitty may not have been the best teammate but he always been a professional at the end of the day.

Gross and Proehl comments
pretty much what I expected
