The elephant in the room. Why is Torrey Smith still starting?

[Trill OG]

I can no longer defend the Moore isn't a good practice player anymore. What he showed me today in his limited playing time tells me all I need to know about who should be playing more on the field.

 

If Moore or Samuel isn't starting next week, I think it's time we question if Ron has any idea how to adjust on offense. No disrespect to Torrey great leader and veteran, but he is not providing anything on the field worth him taking snaps away from our young studs Moore and Samuel.

We need to make it known that Moore and Samuel should be getting more snaps than Torrey Smith.

Who's with me?

[Kevin Greene]

You've met Ron Rivera before?

[Mr. Scot]

He's definitely not doing what we signed him to do.

Couldn't really justify his salary for what he's given us so far either.

[NAS]

I hate to admit it but I was kind of relieved when he got hurt with a groin injury. Hopefully we get the young receivers more snaps.

Hopefully yet another case of injury helping Ron put the right guy on the field. 

[Ted Ginn Jr.'s Hands]

This was the guy who started Silatolu over Norwell

Moore breaks 3 tackles every time he touches the ball. 

[OneBadCat]

I agree. And DJ Moore should not be in the game just to run reverses. He's out first round pick. He needs to catching passes.

I'll say they do seem to be giving Samuel opportunities.

[BigSyke]

Wanted to see him be a deep threat but dude is just not getting it done. Get Dj and Curtis on the field. They are play makers. Funchess is just a possession wr.

id put byrd in over torrey also at this point.

[Hoenheim]

Same reason why Stewart overstayed his welcome last year and why it took injuries to get Matt Kalil off the field.

because of Ron fuging Rivera

I just posted in the other thread that it should be blatantly obvious that Samuel, Funchess, Moore, and Wright are by far our best receivers. Smith should be no higher than 5th on the WR depth chart. With Byrd active for return duties I'm honestly not even sure Smith should be active on game days as long as those other five guys are healthy and available.

When that kinda thing keeps happening, you start asking questions.

He's been terrible in all aspects. I'd have no problems whatsoever with just cutting his ass tomorrow morning. Salary not guaranteed

Not sure why anyone is surprised. Torrey Smith hasn't been a good receiver in years.
