Michael Irvin throws shade at Smitty, Steve replies

Irvin wasn’t throwing shade.  It was the truth.  Smitty was in decline, but was the same mentally as he was here.  It was a little sad to see all of a sudden that Baltimore couldn’t develop young receivers just like we never could when he was here.  Also, he demanded the ball and their offense suffered just like the San Fran game when he wouldn’t come out, but couldn’t accelerate. The best game he had in Baltimore was against us because he was highly motivated and some insanely lucky bounces.  

Irvin & Smitty Both were good, but Irvin was a three time champion & worked hard during his time in the league too.  And I find it funny that Steve lost his mind flipping out over commentary even though he is supposedly past all that.  That is why at the time he had to go.  Bum ass Reggie Bush trying to instigate too.

I think there's always some low-key beef there.  Smitty threatened to beat Irvin's ass for making jokes about his suit one day because his wife picked it out for him.  Irv begged him to forgive him for it and said he didn't mean anything by it, but ever since then it has seemed awkward between them.

Irvin shouldn't have said that, period. It was low class, and he should have known better. 

Smith was the better route runner, and probably the better overall receiver.

Keep in mind that they weren't playing by themselves. Irvin had the easier road, and that really isn't even debatable.

Smith should have clapped back.

Yet he was still their best receiver when he retired???  Better than Boldin ever was for them.  Don't really understand the logic here...  Basically everything in your statement is a fabrication.

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
