NFL Network's Steve Smith Explains Why He Retired as a Raven & Not a Panther | The Rich Eisen Show

[Carolina_Boy_]

Panthers disrespected him. And I'm from NC.

[OldSchoolpts]

He fit in BAL like a glove too bad he didnt come sooner to play with Ed & Ray he would have had a ring

[unlaced]

I’m a Panther fan and I understand why he chose not to retire a Panther. That organization did. him grimy he didn’t deserve how he went out from us.

[gaspackmarlee]

Still Kills Me That He Wasn’t A Panther His Whole Career Still One Of My Favorite And Best Panthers Ever...

[NomadiqGentz]

This dude looked right at his watch and then said "this time" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[tryhardfinessedyou]

Steve smith just casually admitting he can't read an analog clock. Lol

[MarloSoBalJr]

Besides Anquan Boldin, Steve Smith was one of the best receivers we've ever had. If only we could have gotten him to that Super Bowl in 2014.

Steve Smith will ALWAYS be a Carolina Panther. Worst decision the Panthers have ever made, they still can’t find a receiver crew for Cam Newton. Steve was more than a player he mentored the team! All the respect for Steve Smith as a player and human being!!

[MrBmic]

I am from Baltimore. He will always be a Panther to me.

[anthonycovington]

Steve is has and always will be bitter wit The Panthers. I hope to see him retire his 89 jersey wit Carolina But he was pissed when that whole ordeal went down

[edstylc]

Panther and a Raven. I live in Baltimore and enjoyed watching him and met him. I know what he means to Charlotte and if does that eventually it would be great if it is what he wants. He is a Panther but will always be part of the Ravens Flock as well.

I know Steve did play for his whole career in Baltimore more, but it was a honor having you on our team. Thank you for retiring as a raven much love 👊🙌✌!

[stephjackson]

Literally never answered the question both times 😭

[danjenkins]

He really didn’t make any sense trying to explain this.

[tylerstevens]

It was tough for me to break the 89 comments on this video but he is the greatest Panther ever, Cam might eclipse him though. Should have had 2 rings no lie.
Its also sad that being the 90th comment reminds me Peppers retires after this upcoming season. Gonna miss TD58 soon too😖

[paulweston]

It sounded like he didn't understand that Rich meant a one-day contract that most players sign before they retire so they can retire with their main team.

[mid.life.crisis]

I'm real glad he never retired a Panther. They did him dirty. He's a better man than me for not mentioning it.

[ralphcanfield]

Steve you are the best and as fan thank you for all you gave us as a football player

[AUDACITYUphotographer]

Steve Smith definitely should go to the Pro Football Hall Of Fame. I'm from Charlotte and the ownership group and management did him super dirty. Steve Smith has zero quit in him. He was a real dog.❤️❤️

[CSProduction]

Pound for pound he is the greatest receiver to ever grace the field.
