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

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.

 

if anything his resurgence proves how much he kicked it on cruise control in carolina

 

the better he does, the more it looks like he was just phoning it in

reasonable… although he definitely never had the advantage of playing across from a torrey smith while he was here with cam.

Oh, now Steve frickin' Smith dialed it in...

 

You do realize how outrageous that sounds...don't you...I hope.

 

I swear, I try to be civil and give people a certain amount of grace but to suggest Steve Smith did anything less than give his 100 percent on the field is just plain stupid.  There is no way to justify it.  It just shows that you and others like you that would dare suggest such idiocy have lost your senses on your personal sabbatical to cast negativity upon 89.

That would be more understandable and respectable than some of the reasoning that has been put forth in this thread.

you can blame a lot on the scheme, and a lot on smitty's qb, but you can't blame either of them for what he does as an individual once he has the ball

Dude, surely you have to be able to realize that all these dynamics play hand in hand.  They are easily separated on paper, but not so much on the field.  For example:  If Steve Smith had played with Peyton Manning or Tom Brady all those years as opposed to having to jump for balls, then perhaps he would have more YAC than he does. Moreover, it stands to reason that when you don't have guys doubling and tripling you, you have more space to run and move. It's not rocket science.
