I don't think it was so much as a slap to SS face. More so the though pattern of rookie coming into the league and looking at who was the best players at the time and trying to do things their way. However, him being a rookie he should have known that SS and Chad earned the right to say "Feed me the damn Ball" to his coaches and teammates.

What a BIT(H

More like T.O. and Chad

let's be real....Steve Smith is lucky he played the bulk of his career with a class act like Jake as his QB. Kept issues from being bigger issues.

in the meantime,

Smith has punched 3 teammates
to date, still has problems controlling his on field emotions
Still will pout on the field or go to media if he isn't happy.

Diva. He may be our diva.....but he is one.

Thats a horses**t statement and you know it. You are just trying to make an argument against Smith and like most of your prior Smith arguments it falls completely flat. Steve Smith has never given this team any indication that he packed it in.

what is horseshit about it?

When Jimmy Clausen was thrown in above his head.....who was bitching him out on field? Pretty sure it was Steve. Smith was suppose to be a vet leader at that point....he made life tougher on the QB and had Dwayne Jarrett aid the rookie WRs heading into the season.

You watched that 2010 version of Smith and think he played hard for Clausen?

Smith is a great WR. He has had tons of issues and still has some of those flaws.

Steve Smith was never really a diva in my book, more just like an angry black man. Yea he gets in fights a ton on and off the field, but it was never like he demanded insane contracts or held out of training camp.

well, outside of Moose....we pretty much throw money at anyone worth a poo. So players don't have to holdout.

totally agree...they penalize the hell out of the defense for these hits.

While true.. Steve Smith is still a competitor... And if you had the possibility of scoring a touchdown and a QB overthrew you, wouldn't you bitch about it? I sure as hell would.

Steve Smith has had his issues in the past I agree with you about that but he has matured throughout his career.

Thats what I thought. So I guess Kam was supposed to just let VD catch the ball and walk into the endzone for a touchdown. Seriously a rule like this basically says not to play defense.

why do you think rookie QBs are starting break all the old records and you see multiple 5000 yd passers now. They can't play defense anymore.

You think Jimmy Clausen can overthrow anyone? Especially Steve Smith?

No, I should've said thrown at his feet... My bad

"Throw me the ball.' So I looked up to those guys and figured that that was the way to go, that was the route. But it wasn't. It definitely wasn't the route."

clearly an insult. I could careless though no names needed.

Uh...I think he's saying, he couldn't be like them on that team, he had to change his mindset, cause it wasn't fitting with the coaching regime. He looked up to em, how they were elite, have a bit of attitude, he just overdid it. Cmon Pantheroniess

You've convinced me. Title changed.
