  • Though he is a good player. There comes a point in time when you need to move on. He complains to much. If you are unhappy then leave otherwise shut the hell up and play your best. If he thinks he can do better else where and there is another team that wants him then go on. The panthers will survive without you. But i have not heard anyone beating up the waves asking for you. If so i would like to know who, since i am tuned to ESPN and NFL network daily. I listen to all the commentators and analystists everyday and none of them have mentioned any teams or there owners saying Steve Smith is a must have players they need. If so Who? I want to know. And I want them to please take him.

  • I wish to heaven he would go ahead and leave, I for one an sick and tired of his whining and gripeing. If he doesn't like it in Charlotte, then go some place else and all of us will be better off. Good Bye and good ridance. Go already!!

  • Its hard to have 2 ball hogs on the same team. You constantly prove to the fans your a me player.You and Cam Newton need to quite crying and pouting and play the game like men,and stop with all the garbage when u do make a good play thats what your paid for. As a PSL owner from day one, If you think we cant do without you maybe you should call Randy Moss and ask him how that attude is working for him.

Cam Newton going through the Sophomore Slump

Via Diehardsport  |  October 08, 2012
Cam Newton’s play this year is certainly giving credence to the idea of a sophomore slump.  The throw in that gif from late in the 4th quarter with a chance to get the lead virtually sums up his performances thus far this season.  He hasn’t been effective in any game this year, and his attitude seems to be getting worse with each loss; perhaps expectations were too high after...
