Steve Smith Sr., the legendary Panthers player, provides a funny assessment of Jack Plummer’s preseason play.
The return of Carolina Panthers preseason football means that one of the broadcast booth’s sharpest tongues has been let loose. When the Panthers played their first exhibition game of the season on Thursday night against the New England Patriots, it did not disappoint.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome color analyst and all-time top receiver for the team, Steve Smith Sr.
During broadcast, Steve Smith says Jack Plummer needs more pocket awareness. "He's back there like he's waiting on an Uber."

With usual starting quarterback Bryce Young and backup Andy Dalton among the 33 players who were ruled out for the contest, Plummer got the nod under center for the first half. The undrafted rookie, however, hasn’t really done too much to impress thus far—as he completed eight of his 16 attempts for 63 yards.
Plummer has also been sacked four times on the night, resulting in a total loss of 33 yards. The Panthers entered the break in Foxborough facing a 7-0 deficit with just 70 yards of total offense.
