Smitty may be even more pissed than we thought (Panthers related)

[lindseyj14]

So as the analysts are singing his praises, you are calling him average...What the fug, dude? Did he piss in your Cheerios or something? Just stop.

The same analysts that are already labeling Andrew Luck a HOFer.

There you go again.  What the hell does that mean?  Are you suggesting that Steve Smith hasn't mattered since the early 2000s?  What are you talking about?

 

the one thing that has made smitty elite above all others is his YAC.   his YAC has always been historical and is a true indicator of his decline.  2005 was an amazing year for smitty.   2011 showed a resurgence.  the rest of the chart shows a steady decline

but you'll notice, after he got cut, it skyrockets.   we'll see if he can maintain that level of play.   if he does, he needs to thank gettleman for lighting a fire under his ass.

 

oh, but after 2008, you'll notice the chart takes a dive, other than the anomaly in 2011

 

i know. stats.   they're for pencil pushing geeks.

Ok this decade then.

[PhillyB]

Are you proud of this?

 

are you proud of claiming  thatsteve smith leading the league in receiving yards when he's gotten a game more of stats than anyone else is anything resembling a meaningful remark?

Ok this decade then.

 

What about this decade?  I hope that you are being "funny".  

 

If you are suggesting that Steve Smith hasn't mattered this decade, then that should say more about you and/or the insufficiency of the FO more than anything else.

 

If you ask any Ravens fan whether Steve Smith has mattered the last couple of games, you already know the answer.

Before the season If I said Smith would be leading the league in rec yards at this point (Yes I know he has played one more game than most receivers) you would laugh. You probably thought Smith would avg 30 yards per game for the Ravens.

[Car123]

Smith is the Ravens' #1 WR.

[Cpt slay a ho]

Put it this way until we find out whether smith was released due to him personally telling DG he didn't want to take a pay cut or restructure........everything else is speculation

 

if he didn't want to do that then yes he should have been released in a classy manner

 

everything else about being old, bad teammate, wouldn't take a lesser role, wanting cam to lead ect is pure bi-lo brand bologna IMO

[Mr. Scot]

Smith is leading the league in receiving yards as of now.

Nobody else has played their second game yet.

[Car123]

Nobody else has played their second game yet.

I am aware of that...

he's done better than i expected, but given his performance as a whole measured with the bulk of his yards (that deep play against the bengals) it's reasonable to assume he'll regress to the mean. i'd like a larger sample size (say four games) before declaring that his body of work is clearly superior to anything any of us expected.

 

…but even if he does continue to excel, i won't be entirely surprised. as others have echoed, smith's career got a serious rejuvenation by going up there. getting cut enlarged a chip on his shoulder that seems may have been gone, or less important. it's worked for him, it's worked for the ravens, and so far it appears to have worked for us.

Said elsewhere Smith looking good early in the season wouldn't shock me.

If he's still performing above expectations come week eight to week ten or so, then I'll be impressed.
