Carolina's future HOF and perennial Pro Bowl wide receiver was asked Monday if his embattled teammate Dwayne Jarrett was due for a ‘coming-out party’ after his disappointing rookie season, which was in turn followed by an unfortunate dooey. "So, this isn't a poke at anybody," he added at a charity golf tournament hosted by fellow NFL players Torry and Terrence Holt. "That's just the way it is. You know, you produce, you're in. You don't produce, you're out." It’s about fucking time. Steve Smith just might be our new hero. Whoever would have thought of a superstar teammate calling out a troubled young teammate to help set him straight? (see Urlacher, Brian) If only more guys would accept the responsibility that being a superstar sometimes warrants. Well done, Smitty.
"You know, the party session is actually over. This is the NFL," Smith said. "You make plays. You're here to play football. You do the party scene at your own discretion, but on Sundays, we're here to play football. If you can't play football, you won't be playing with the Carolina Panthers or any NFL team.
