Steve Smith

[QC REPRESENT]

anybody heard how he is recovering? I was lucky enough to sit behing the Panther bench Sunday and saw him there. he was walking around, no crutches, and no boot (or I couldn't tell ). that was a good sign.

What kind of damage did he have? Was there ligament damage or displacement of the fibula? I broke my fibula with some very minor ligament damage on New Years eve and was snowboarding by the first week of March. I had the volunteered knowledge of my sister who is a physical therapist for rehab excercises but nothing like the attention he gets.

Haven't heard or seen a damn thing -
They have been extremely hush-hush about it and if I had to guess I would say that’s not a good sign. It could be one of those “he’ll never be the same” type of injuries if his range of motion will be significantly decreased. I’ve claimed that several guys were done when they were not like Grant after his hip exploded and Nelson after his hips imploded . . . okay Nelson probably won’t be back (not to where he will be worth a shit anyway). However, Smitty is WAY too important to the future of this team to hang a dark cloud over him . . . so I won’t go there. I’d like to believe that he’ll be back to 100% before game one in 2005. If not, I agree with what Rez implied in that Moose thread . . . If we are without either Smitty or Moose for the start of next season we had better have a damn good 3rd option at WR.

Yeah, Colbert sucks? And hear I thought we already had a very good 3rd option.

The effort to resign Moose will be an indicator of how concerned they are with Smith's health. Really, I am not concerned that much. Even if there is some permenant effect, Smith being 85% of what he was is still better than half the starters in the league.

Proehl is likely to retire .. . and if either Smitty of Moose won't be starting for any number of games just who is on our roster that will be the 3rd starting caliber WR you are seeing to join Colbert and one of the two above next year?

If you are counting on Proehl squeezing out one more decent year or the brittle Drew Carter DON'T

Without Smitty Moose and Colbert ready to go for game one next year we will be thin right out of the gate without at least one more proven guy.

. . .Then there are these things called injuries.)

 

[wossa]

Colbert is a rookie - he's not done too bad and I think he'll get better.

It would be nice to have Smith and Moose and Colbert all on the field at the same time.

speaking of Smith has anybody seen the piece ESPN did on his days at Santa Monica College when he was there with Chad Johnson? It was pretty good. Good for Smith's image anyway.

I'm not saying Colbert sucks, I'm saying I don't want to let Moose get away, and end up starting Proehl and Colbert with some generic FA in the slot if anything would happen to Smith again...or god forbid, Colbert and Hankton starting.
