Didn’t miracle Dave cause that? He’s gone,..

No, Steve Smith said that. I know being accountable for your own actions is kind of a foreign concept to most people nowadays, but whatever role DG played in that whole fiasco, Steve Smith himself started acting like a petulant child. That’s on him and no one else. 

Now if he wants to advise younger players or come around the team as a more mature man that’s all fine and dandy, but I hope he is at least man enough to admit he acted like a spoiled brat through the whole thing.

The man could put a uniform on right now and still dominate.

I am amazed at the hatred for him.  It really boggles my mind.  He did so much for this team.  The man will be a hall of famer one day.

I am glad to see him out there enjoying time with the team spent most of his career with.

Agent 89 is definitely top 5 of all time.

It's really the fact that he is an ass-hat off the field. I've heard numerous first hand stories of him being a dick to somebody. I love Steve too on the field, but there is no denying that it's a little difficult to like him when he's not playing.

There's also good stories of off the field interactions as well... But people only remember the bad ones...

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
