Will Asante Samuel shut down Steve Smith?

Dont you guys know that everytime the WR doesnt catch the ball, its because Jake is a terrible QB, and cant throw it straight? Its never because the WR ran a bad route, or the ball was tipped, or a CB made a good play on the ball???? Obviously Jake is the worst QB to ever put on an NFL jersey.

Oh yeah...because we play the Raiders alot right? how many CBs go against specific WRs not in the their divisions more than once or twice in their careers? Try not to choke on those sour grapes kid

I don't care, I wanna see someone shutdown Smitty more than once before I'll agree that they're able to shut him down on a consistent basis.

What Rello said was true in a way. Hall plays Steve Smith pretty good. He cannot however shut him down. Last time they played was Deangelo's meltdown game, and Steve was going to the house on him when he tackled him and got the PI penalty.

Asomugha broke up 2 passes that Jake threw to Steve and it wasn't because they were extremely bad throws. Asomugha ran the route better than Steve Smith did. He best corner in league period. Anyone who watched that game would realize this.

Samuels is a good cornerback also. I think with the proper scheme he is good enough to "contain" Steve Smith. 1 on 1, it wouldn't be a contest, but thats why its the Eagles vs Panthers and not Steve Smith vs Asante Samuels.

He is def one of the best but Delhomme had a horrible day no matter what you say. Really he had a horrible year and was not all that great threw the entire season. Also Dwill racked up over 140 yards that game so why would we throw it to smith when we were controlling the game from the ground. The fact is if we can run we are not gonna pass with Fox.

    • You would hope so. I’m confused why the sports world seems split on Bryce when he’s obviously not working out. 
    • So let’s do the reverse? Make everyone agree everything he does is a disaster? I also think the whole “gaslighting” is on the eye of the beholder. It went from he can’t avoid one single sack countered with he actually did that well Sunday (with data backing it) to a little breakdown of why he is so bad. People are going to have different opinions. I’m also not going to pretend this wasn’t happening Day one with this little QB. 
    • All this great stuff he has done, how often does he do it?  I have it at three or four games out of 14 where he was very good and then you get a drive here or a series there where there are some good things. Here is the gaslight part: everyone has put him on a curve with his first year the baseline, neglecting to understand how bad he was then. Even if he comes back twice as good, where does that really leave him? 25th ranked or thereabouts.     He had so far to go, and still does, it is a Major ‘settle’ to accept his play as worthy of giving him our future.  You want to settle when the Bucs have Mayfield, and the Saints have overtaken us at QB? We will be third in the division at QB. That is good enough for y’all?
