eball Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Steve Smith. How can you not like and root for this guy? He has every characteristic you look for in a player; he's talented, tough, and looks like he's really having fun out there. He's arguably Carolina's only legitimate threat, and teams know exactly what he's going to do. Nonetheless, he still does it. At 5'9" no less. Great, great player. Can't wait to see what he does next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailog80 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 We almost beat them also. What the hell does that mean? We're we good that day or did Carolina have a hangover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffOrange Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 We almost beat them also. What the hell does that mean? We're we good that day or did Carolina have a hangover? 569445[/snapback] It means it contributed to their 6-2 (now 8-2) road record and our 4-4 home record. Yeah, Steve Smith is good at football.

J. Peppers is almost as much of freak on the defense as Steve Smith is on offense. GO PANTHERS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happened more than three years ago -- think maybe some people learn and mature as they get older? b. Smith offered a prompt and well-worded apology to the WR he punched, his team, coaches, and fans. c. "There is no indication as to what caused the fight or if there was any provocation." To call this incident an indictment of Steve Smith's character is pretty careless on your part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tar Heel Bill Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I agree....He is the most underrated player in the NFL. He might even be the best receiver. It's not like he has Peyton Manning throwing to him like Marvin Harrison. Steve Smith. How can you not like and root for this guy? He has every characteristic you look for in a player; he's talented, tough, and looks like he's really having fun out there. He's arguably Carolina's only legitimate threat, and teams know exactly what he's going to do. Nonetheless, he still does it. At 5'9" no less. Great, great player.
