Steve Smith: You Can See The Panthers Improving

The Panthers started the month of December with a tough loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in overtime to fall to 3-9. Panthers legend Steve Smith joined Kyle Bailey to weigh in on what he saw from the Panthers loss to a divisional foe.

The main takeaway from the loss to Steve is that the team is now consistently playing in competitive games which is the next step in the growth process, and he noted that this process can’t be completed at the snap of a finger, so you have to be patient, but players like Bryce continue to grow and you hope to see it continue.

Steve would go on to weigh in on the Adam Thielen TD that wasn’t late in the first half, as well as his thoughts on being a semi-finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
