Steve Smith's Take


DaveThePanther2008

Recommended Posts

I know it’s not popular, but I want Kirk with the first pick. I just feel like he’s gna be a beast. I also really like EQ, I’ve watched a lot of his games and was really impressed with him (not in the first of course, maybe one of our thirds if he’s there)

The issue on the press coverage concerns me.  Will he be able to get separation against NFL caliber CBs? 

If he can't = Bust.

I agree, it’s a chance and it sucks bc we can’t afford to mess up that pick with the needs we have. Wr is a huge need but so is S, RB and DE imo. It will be interesting to see how it plays out.

Of course SS loves Anthony Miller they are cut from the same cloth.  Kirk is great but i think Miller can be had later, kinda reminds me of when Santana Moss was a first round pick and we stole Steve in the 3rd

The thought of having a guy like Smith with that Chip on his shoulder really intrigues me.

Exactly.  First round busts can set a team back many years.   That player you thought was going to be around a long time ends up out of the NFL in a couple years.  

Unfortunately the Combines is not going to show if he can get separation against top caliber DBs.   

I think Safety, OT, DE and C are probably higher on the list than RB and WR.

That's what I'm thinking...Miller looks more physical than Kirk but I wont complain if we got either one but I am partial to Miller...

No Ridley and he has Kirk over him that's just crazy. 

Did you read the article?  He said he was looking at mid round guys.

You'll notice a few of the top guys (Calvin Ridley and Courtland Sutton) aren't listed below. That's because we already kind of know what we're getting with them. The guys spotlighted below are lesser-known, but I think they all have impact potential.

    • I have seen little inclination that they are laying down on him, that I can agree with. I don't think we are going to ever see much in the way of unfiltered opinions in the public realm from his teammates because that's extremely rare and extremely toxic behavior.  It's certainly a positive thing that they support him but, again, that doesn't make a successful NFL starting QB. Playing well on Sunday's does.  That is what has been lacking to date. He is not playing well consistently enough to be considered an NFL starting QB. He has to improve there. Be more consistent. Be more decisive. Make correct decisions more frequently. 
    • That's fine but for every Kurt Warner there are 10 Tony Banks that don't find their spot because....it never really existed.  Jake Browning was on and off practice squad teams for years until he stuck in Cincy. In his limited action over the past two seasons, he has played well enough that the Bengals panic traded for 41 year old Joe Flacco. It's easy to point to outliers like Warner or Purdy or Tom Brady as players who fell through the cracks because....well, they are outliers. The statistics over the long term have never really borne out the argument that every QB is just waiting for their perfect spot and situation. Most of these guys bounce around the league and it just never really clicks anywhere or they become marginal backup QB's. I don't think that exactly an accident. It's tough to be a starting NFL QB and it's why the hunt every offseason is so frantic. There are just so few that do it at a high level. My guess is that a theoretical market for Bryce Young(today) is going to look a lot like that post Chicago Justin Fields market. Not a lot of interest and a late round pick value at the highest. And a lot of that IS going to be his average to below average physical traits. It's extremely tough to be in that range and excel in the NFL. And it's precisely because you DO have to be closer to perfection to make up for the fact that you can't do a lot of the things that the elite to above average starters in this league do. 
    • Im never not impressed by how confidently wrong you are. I've watched probably 200 NFL QBs play live. This talk about Bryce's arm strength is retarded, pure and simple. Bryce can make every throw an NFL QB needs to make in any circumstance. Does he have an arm that makes you go wow all the time? No, but very few QBs truly do. Bryce has plenty of zip on the ball when he wants. That TD to XL was a frozen rope. He throws to the opposite hash and outside all the time with no problem. Bryce's arm is objectively stronger than Cam's post-injury. I've seen both live multiple times and I know. And Cam could still play QB well without his rocket launcher. OPs point remains. QB success relies on a lot of nebulous things. Obviously you dont like Bryce. But his success is not going to be bc he doesn't have the arm strength. Its embarrassing this is a thing. Go to some games and actually educate yourself.
