What? He was going to be released due to the Eagles being over the cap. So he would most certainly have been a free agent. It has everything to do with what other FA WRs are getting. Are you so blinded by your Hurney hatred that you will continue to search for ways to justify your bashing of every single move that he makes? It is not "lawding Hurney's geinious" to recognize that the existing contract the Smith has is a lot better than what he would have gotten had he hit the FA market.

No I'm not blind. I'm also not assuming that he would have gotten more money else where.  That's your assumption.   It's you geniouses that think it's a good deal based on what others got.  My dumbass will wait to see if he earns the 5 mil he's making now.

It is not a far reaching assumption, based on the deal that was just talked about in this very thread. But you got your blinders on. It is OK. 

 

Oh, and there is no "o" in genius, genius.

Typo "genuis". But you got me there.  No, I don't have Homer glasses on.  But keep doing you.  Remember this after the season is over and you are still whinny about Cam not having any weapons.

There is a spot between homer and hater. I don't look at everything that Hurney does as the be all and end all of GM moves, but nor do I automatically determine them to be crap just because he made them. I have no idea how Smith is going to turn out. Any more than I know if Watkins is going to stay healthy, or if Robinson is going to be able to come back from his surgery. What I do know is that we needed a veteran receiver with some speed, and got one. And based on the current FA WR market, we got one at a good price. That is all I am saying.

Excellent post.

We traded away a under-performing CB for a WR that has a CHANCE to contribute, unlike the CB who did not contribute in 2 years.

It was a good move by Hurney.

      Canales is holding us back

      By RumHam · Posted

      NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By Diehardpanth02 · Posted

      Yeah man, that was a catch. I like to imagine the game isn’t rigged but it’s well known sports betting is ruining the sport. Unfortunately, most coaches plan for 3 phases of the game. But there is really 4, offense, defense, special teams, and special occasions. on special occasions the refs can influence the game, leaving you in positions your actively planning to stay out of and how you respond in those special occasions make or break the game. Other times it’s other reasons. But I like to hope that the right team, or right player can extend past those types of setbacks and still find a way. anywho, probably a pipe dream. But it’s how I see it.
