Steve Smith thought he might be traded.

I would have had mixed feelings personally if he would have been traded. First I would have been pissed because of how Smith has really been our O since 03. But at the same time he is 30 and it does appear he has lost a step and it is only a matter of time before what made him so good for so long (his speed and athleticism) starts to diminish more. So at least we would have traded him while he still had good trade value. But to do this would have spelled disaster to our already anemic offenses. It would have made a already one dimensional O even more one dimensional spelling disaster for this team.

Uhh, in games Moore played in '07...

New Orleans 0 catches 0 yards 0 TD (only 2 attempts though)

Tennessee 3 catches 15 yards 0 TD

Atlanta 5 catches 61 yards 0 TD

New Orleans 3 catches 30 yards 0 TD

Seattle 8 catches 72 yards 0 TD

Dallas 9 catches 137 yards 1 TD

Tampa Bay 5 catches 48 yards 0TD

Dallas and Seattle were the best showings, but otherwise just awful.

On average it's about the same stats as what smith's getting now. With a worse coordinator. Without the dink n' dunk stat-padding kid gloves. With an awful quarterback who can't get him the ball. ;)

:confused:

Matt moore's first start was against Seattle. he won NFL Rookie of the Month for December.

    • Appreciate that, bro!  And I could definitely see that with Cam.  Even though he’s a little younger than me, he is also someone I admire and feel a kinship with for a lot of various reasons. Funny enough, a few years after that encounter with Steve, I went to Charlotte with one of my friends whose brothers owned a moving company at the time.  He dropped me off uptown and went to work the day with them where I would wait until he got done and then we were gonna go to the Bobcats game that night.  So I walk all through that area for hours.  After awhile, I walk back towards the arena and sit in a bench on the backside of the arena, where the practice court and player’s entrance was.  As I’m sitting there, I look up and almost think I’m seeing things - I squint and blink my eyes a couple times just to be sure, and yes…  it’s one of my childhood heroes, Muggsy Bogues walking across the crosswalk and into the arena.  I think he was coaching the Sting then, iirc.  Part of me wanted to just say, “Hey!  Muggsy!  Thank you for the inspiration and memories!  You were one of my favorite players as a kid!”  But, I just watched him walk by and into the arena and thought, “that was cool!”  I also so Miguel Cotto a couple years back while in Orlando and told my kids who it was but didn’t say anything to him.  I think somewhere in my subconscious, that encounter with Steve really made me feel like the gamble on finding out if they’re receptive to interaction just isn’t worth finding out.  At the end of the day, no matter if they’re receptive inspired us or were a hero, unless they initiate it, I likely never will…  because again, they’re humans just like us.  Not anymore unique or special, they just have a highly visible and very public job that we get to watch and in some ways participate.  So, I just appreciate it for what it is.
    • I'm pleasantly surprised they gave it to Bryce Young over Josh Allen. Finally we're getting some respect. Now I'm just hoping the team follows this up accordingly and doesn't lay another egg.
    • What weird blood red moon has cast its spell?  What’s next, dogs and cats sleeping together? Bonus question:  Did Canales open up his playbook or did Bryce find an extra high gear in his stick shift?
