Steve Smith calls fans "fat, lazy, armchair QB's"

To be honest it looks like he is calling the media this.

Seems to me your title is misleading.

Fans are referred to as armchair quarterbacks, not media. Because armchair quarterbacks are know-nothings that watch the games from home, on their armchairs.

Thanks for playing though.

It was funny when he said 'write something down so i can say how horrible that poo is'.

 

I laughed at least.

 

The Ravens could still very likely get in. I remember last year the Chargers needed some team planes to crash for them to get in and they made it. Also the Bills eliminated themselves, The Dolphins are out. The Bengals play the Broncos tonight and Andy Dalton is known for playing his worst in primetime.

 

Also the Ravens play the Browns their last game.

 

Not sure why they're so upset. The Texans are full of talent. They just got beat by a good team.

"Bottom line is offensively, we just got our ass kicked," Smith said. "That's what happened. That's what the score looks like. That's what it looks like when you just lose. That is the consequences of losing."

Smith's frustrations weren't contained to just the team's on-the-field performance, he also took aim at those that will criticize the team's play.

"We expect and understand and anticipate all of the negative feedback and all of the fat, lazy, sorry couch quarterbacks are going to come out," Smith said. "We expect that and understand that. We're not going to pay attention to it."

Known for his volatility, Smith then lashed out at a reporter who asked about his level of concern about the offense. The Ravens managed a season-low 211 yards of total offense, completing 42 percent of their passes and averaging 2.1 yards per carry.

"Won't you write and then I can tell you how much b------- it is," Smith said.

The Ravens lost control of their playoff fate by getting upset by the Texans on Sunday. They were eliminated from the AFC North race and will need other teams to lose in order to make the postseason.

 

 

What he said.

he's just pissed because he's not going to make the playoffs, but the soft Panthers that he schooled are.  paybacks are a bitch.

 

 

Gotta wait til Sunday afternoon to know who's in and who's not.

 

If Broncos beat Bengals, Ravens clinch a playoff spot with:

1) a win plus a Bengals loss in Pittsburgh

2) a win plus a Chargers loss or tie 

3) a tie plus a Chargers loss

 

Of course it's much more straight forward for the Panthers.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
