Carolina Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith went on WFNZ Radio in Charlotte, N.C., and, as he's been known to do, had some very interesting comments. Smith took the conversation in a direction you might not have anticipated from a guy who clearly has been Carolina's No. 1 wide receiver for a long time. "I would like a younger guy to come in and eventually take my spot,'' Smith said. "I don't want to be a No. 1 anymore. I don't want to be a guy who can't let go of something he's got to let go. I would like to be a guy that can play in the slot all day, and I would like some of these young guys to start doing some of the out routes like I was doing for Moose and Ricky when I was fresh legged and when I didn't know what I was doing, and really start to develop and start handing over the torch.''

Come play slot in Atlanta Steve, clearly you are unhappy with the Panthers and could use a change of scenery.
Yeah...give back some of the #1 coin... I think it's a little taken out of context. Sounds to me like he just doesn't want to be one of those guys hanging on just to hang on. He's got a point...a younger guys gotta step up for the Panthers at some point.
