Releasing Smith really helped make Benjamin into the elite WR he is now.

Exactly. Releasing Smith is the only big Gettlemen decision I disagreed with. I never bought into that "89 hinders the development of other players" bullcrap. Even if 89 wouldn't take you under his wing, be a professional and learn by observation from one of the best ever. 

To be fair to Gettlemen, though, I don't think that had much of anything to do with his decision to release Smith; he simply bet wrong on how productive Smith would be at that age. Those of us who had watched every game of 89's career, though, knew not to do that.

If he did come back, I think he said he'd be suspended for some games for missing drug tests, since he didn't get his paper work in for retirement in time he was supposed to take the tests but didn't because he wasn't playing.

I'd be interested to see how him and Cam interact considering the reason he was let go was to give full reign to Cam. Will Steve be able to take on a lessor leadership role and become a mentor to only the WR corp as opposed to wearing a C on his jersey? I believe at his age he will be fine with this, but nonetheless, it could be interesting to watch.

      It's still CJ by a wide margin.  BY has closed the gap, but the gap is still considerably large.  Let's not forget CJ was without basically ALL of his weapons in this last game against the Patriots, and I'm pretty sure he had an injury.  BY lost to that same Pats team by like 40 points.  In fairness, a good bit of that was due to the defense.  That said, BY was completely incapable of keeping us in the game.  Mistake free football does not always equal good football.  He still had a bad game.

      Playing QB in this league is tough.  I can't hate on a man's work ethic without knowing exactly what it is.  From everything I've read about him, I seriously doubt his work ethic has dropped.  He had 2 concussions in 2 years, has his OL downgraded, got a different OC, and lost his best weapons due to injury in these short 2 years after his rookie year.  Throw that in with teams having more film on him and the drop-off makes sense.  Maybe he needs to change what he does in the offseason to adapt better, but I doubt he has an issues with work ethic.
