I'd be feed up and pissed if I were Smith. Get the guys some legitimate help. It's ridiculous.

Sounds like they didn't kiss the ring.....

I don't think we make the playoffs unless one of those young guys step up. And that's with our defense playing like it did in preseason. Thx for link.

Interesting read. It would have been great had he not broken his arm playing flag football and truly had the opportunity to be an on the field mentor for the young group of WRs.

I should avoid reading the comments with these articles. idiotic drivel

“Then when we watched film and we went over plays, they were showing examples of the things that I did last year. It kind of helps get a little credibility with those guys,” Smith said. “Whether they want to hear it or not, they get in the game and all of sudden things change and they’re getting smashed up side the head.

“Then they’ll come to me and I’ll kind of give them their space and I’m like, ‘What do I know?”’

Wonder who these guys are

I noticed in the Tenn game he didn't talk to any of the other receivers to offer any help or advice. The only people he hung out with were D-Will and Goodson after he scored. Maybe our young WRs would do better if he acted like a seasoned veteran instead of a whining about who hasn't kissed his ass this week.

I like Smitty but come on, help your teammates out.

Just cause he may be pissed at the coaches, that doesnt mean he has to hang the rookies out to dry. If he wants respect maybe he shouldn't act like such a little bitch. And people still think he should be captain? lol To be a leader you got to act like one first.

I'm wondering the same thing.

Smith isn't really saying anything shocking. Those guys look like #3s at best right now. Even with Smith out there, I think these guys would be exposed sooner or later. Smith really needs to offer as much help as he can instead of waiting for the rookies to kiss his ass.

PantherBob isnt very impressed either

Very Brett Favre of Steve Smith.

Who lines up opposite Smith in that game remains a mystery. LaFell may have a slight upper hand, but Smith thinks the entire group needs to mature—and listen to its elders.

“I’m not frustrated that nobody’s grabbed the No. 2 spot. Ultimately, it’s not my decision. I’m not the coach,” Smith said. “I think I’m more frustrated as a wide receiver unit, as an offensive guy, there were plays out there that we left on the field.

“I’m also a guy that sits there every week and I hear them talk.”

Hmm so you want them to listen to you but when they come to you for advice you dont do anything.
