Is Smitty overrated?

I don't know about calling him over rated but seeing him show his ass and blow up on the sidelines is getting old. You wanna win - fine! You wanna fire your teammates up - Great! You have a lot of passion - Awesome! I'm good with all of that but you need to back it up on the field and catch the damn ball! I love Steve Smith but he is getting a little sloppy and needs to get his poo together before he throws another childish rant on the sidelines.

He's not over rated by any means, he is a top 10 receiver in the league. I'm just sick of him getting pissed when he doesn't get the ball, then when he does get the ball thrown to him he sometimes drops it (that pass down the middle that he had to slide for but still should have come up with.

He's not over rated but as smoker said, I'm tired of the act.

Smith's not overrated if he was then he wouldn't get double, triple coverage all the time no matter who we play. The other teams know how dangerous he is if he's single covered and I think how other teams view him says a lot more about his ability than announcers, fans, or "outsiders".

When the other teams put 2-3 guys on smith and Jake still tries to throw to him...Well that's a failure in the OFFLINE coach and Jake himself. You hit everyone else, since Smith's got so many peps on him the other team takes a guy off him. Then you go to him and bam he's able to get some good catches and good yards. But Jake and our OL coach always seem to favor smith and the other teams know it so there going to shut him down because we have to most vanilla offense in the NFL.

Yeah, this is getting to be a problem. I believe his attitude is why Delhomme tries to force the ball to him so much. The vast majority of Delhomme's INT's in the last two years have been intended for Steve Smith.

In Smitty's defense though, he needs another WR that can consistently get open and make plays, and so does Jake. So far, Rosario is the only one who is consistently stepping up this year.

      I also didnt think that Tepper was too involved. I think he liked to be engaged in the process but never did he seem to influence anything.  If Im an owner Im in the draft room as well. Hell I get excited about draft season in Madden if I can do it in real life....

      I realize it about the expectations, but on paper, we drafted players who would have a chance to compete at positions where any could realistically step in and take the job---Freeling?  Yup.  Hunter?  Yup.  Brazzell?  Yup.  It is likely that all three see the field early and often.  Day 3:  Lee?  I see him as the #3 CB and the job is his when they are ready for him--and it is his to lose.  Hecht?  I loved him in mock research and called him the best C in the draft.  He might play a year behind Fortson or he could take the job--regardless, he is the obvious front runner for the 2027 season.  Wheatley?  I see Ransom and Moehrig as basically the same "in the box" type S.  If Wheatley can learn for a season behind Scott, he has the tools to be a serviceable FS, something this team needs.  Finally, Kuwatch seemed to be a PS pick, and he could be--but to win the 4th ILB job, he needs to beat out Bam Morris-Scott and with a 46.5 vertical (I can't do that on the triple jump) and a superior RAS rating, he looks like a special teamer and depth piece.....I forgot about Morgan's comment about giving up the 5th--probably to get ahead of Detroit.  Freeling has the athleticism and the tools to be the best OT in this draft.  The others lacked arm length or something like that--Freeling simply lacks a ton of experience.
