Steve Smith Takes on Tennessee


Anybodyhome

Recommended Posts

They won 21-7, which is what matters.

And yes, he's had three mediocre games in a row. He's still had twice as many 100 yard games as KB and Greg Olsen combined. 

 

17 yards is also less than any receiving total for benajmin this year. ;)

 

See, I can cite convenient stats, too.

 

Smitty's and KB's stats are reasonably comparable.

 

My point was that when smitty has a bad game, he'll do something like this to make him feel better about himself.

"it's just a little bit too much" as a Raven... haha

 

in reference to the stats, yes if is as he was here at this point. He had more to prove so that's why he started off great this. nevertheless, why didn't he do that since Cam's rookie year? 17 yards is not acceptable for any starting WR regardless of team or age. In reference to the Ravens, SS having 17 yards and they pull off a win  proves overall they are a better team than us not Benji's stats. The reality is Benji has had some horrible drops and so has SS even as a panther, but  coaching is the difference in winning. I just hope we don't set Benji as "the" receiver rather than one of our receivers like we did with SS. Neither are a true #1 as of today! And yes SS would have better numbers if his attitude was consistent with his production. He borders on many bonehead plays because of his mouth. Talented but mouthy!

I find it funny that there are Panther fans sounding butt hurt about Smith's departure as if he left of his own accord. 

 

The main thing the Panthers are missing on offense is any semblance of an identity or personality. 

 

 

i don't miss the guy that much and i don't think we'd be much better on offense if he was here.  ow my butt it hurts so bad!

I would agree they are somewhat comparable. Steve obviously has the upper hand, but he'd be doing about the same here.

 

It was a bad statistical game, yes, but they won fairly comfortably. Sometimes you just don't need to target certain players to win. In 2011, for instance, we beat the Bucs 38-19 and he only had 2 catches for 32 yards. We beat the Bucs again 48-16 and he only had 1 catch for nine yards. It happens, it's not a big deal. Now, if he had that stat line in a loss, there would be a problem.

Were you mad in 2011 when he had very similar statlines in comfortable wins against the Bucs? What about KB last game, where he had 18 yards on 2 catches?

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
