Michael Irvin vs Steve Smith Sr. | Receiving Attention

89 getting soft in his old age 

Irvin excusing it by saying he meant 89 wasn’t the type WR that QBs just lobbed up 50/50 balls too.  Yeah, he was a great route running  WR but he made guys like Jake Delhomme relevant because the 50/50 balls despite his height disadvantage was a YUGE part of his game.  

His jump ball highlight reel can compete with any big man.  89’s YAC, physical nature and the fact he could go up despite his size were literally his signatures.

Yeah; Steve definitely let him slide on that one.

Also, I've said it before, multiple times.

Take Smitty away from the QBs he had here and put him on the Colts during the same era with Manning, in place of Marvin Harrison, and there's no doubt Smitty is at least second WR all time in yardage and every other stat if not first.

Good for Smitty. He's growing as a person, and was the bigger man in this case. He doesn't have anything to prove to anyone. He did way more with way less than Michael "I was on an entire team of HOF'ers" Irvin. Him refusing to let Michael Irvin slide made for entertaining TV, but squashing the mini-beef was the right play and better for both of them long term. I have more respect for Steve Smith the person now. He'll always be the greatest offensive Panther, but it's nice to see him turning into a happier person off the field as well.

    • I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year 
    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
