What players are being removed for Smittys salary. No Oher. No Coleman. 

Smith was part of ONE winning season in his last 5 here. And we made the playoffs 3 of 4 years after him. So we may never see the SB with his “presence”

I could care less about Coleman being sign or not, he was a product of Norman playing at the highest level Cb in 2015. Smith played until 2016, we went 7-8-1,15-1, and 6-10......so yeah not much pointing towards addition by subtraction 

keep it in perspective also, I’d rather have smith than cotchery, avant,Shepard, and any other fa WR not named ted ginn

Of course. Doesn’t fit the narrative. How about Oher? Coleman has a good season. Smith was finished before the SB was even played. And we had our best offense ever. 

  It’s just as likely he blindsides Cam upside the head before 2014 even starts. Not that it would ever happen? Oh wait.....

Read above, keep it in perspective, I’d take smith over the avants, Shepard’s, and jerichos we added since his departure. 

Now we’re in make believe land, Smith who hadn’t had a incident with a teammate since a decade ago all of a sudden hit cam or something along the lines of that......be real

If he had brought in other quality receivers to replace him I would have agreed with you.  Gettleman did absolutely nothing to replace SS. So I 100% disagree with you.   If Cam didn't like SS too freaking bad.  SS showed he had plenty left in the tank in Baltimore. 

He's also spot on with the firing of a GM weeks before training camp.  Obviously he had zero people skills and to be honest his talent evaluation is suspect. 

We had no money and Steve wouldn't take a cut. We where completely choked by very bad contracts and Steve's was one we could free up space with. Pretty simple. They way it was handled was completely unacceptable but it doesn't change the facts it was necessary. We couldn't afford a replacement in FA and the best WR we could get was Benjiman, who had 1000 yards.

He wasn't spot on, DG was never a long term option here. It wasn't how JR wanted things handled pre and post cap hell bail out. He burnt his bridges along the way and when him and Ron split after the Norman fiasco, it was the perfect time to bring back a JR guy again. JR got what he wanted in the end and we have been a worse team since then for it. Ron and DG were at there best together, flawed but highly functional. Don't be a egomaniac dick and dont be a blind enabler of feeling based decisions. Neither of them are capable of not being those things so it came to the inevitable conclusion.

Gettleman probably would have too. But Smith cost 10M and the others around 2M. We couldn’t afford him. We had 27M in dead cap. 12.5.in a tag on Hardy. 2 overpaid RBs we couldn’t cut. 

 You just want to hypothetically insert a perfect scenario for Smitty. When reality is a near perfect scenario DID happen. I don’t have to wonder. 

  June of 2008 was not a decade earlier than 2014. How many reports are there of SS blowing up at numerous people? That’s the other reason he got sent on. You can disregard it all you want, but it was definitely part of the process. So....make believe huh?

First off you started the hypothetical when stating we may not have made it to the super bowl with smith on the roster. Lol it was not 2m for the avants, Jerichos etc, how much dead money did we take on from releasing smith 

you’re back pedaling, it has been well over a deacade since smith has been involved in a physical altercation with a teammate, like you suggested he would against cam and than call me out for an hypothetical.....poetic

    • I think at some point you top out what God gave you.  He can use leverage via his mechanics to maximize what he has and When he pays attention to it the throws are better.    IMO as a layman a lot of it is what kind of ‘headroom’ you have. The guys who are gifted don’t have to use maximum effort to get good results and stay within themselves but they have it in reserve. They can do an arm throw for substantial distance without max effort.    I think what we may be seeing with these ‘lasers’ is a throw that Bryce puts the max effort into and does his mechanics right and has his base right and it works together.    To get to the payoff here, I think his best velocity throws take dall that whereas  a naturally gifted guy doesn’t need to go full effort to get that same velocity. I have said this three or four times over the years and it never gets picked up on but the accuracy is more consistent with an easier motion and max effort can produce less predictable location. It is a baseball pitcher thing but it applies to throwing a pass too. It isn’t that you can’t make an accurate throw with full effort it is just not as reliably accurate to the same degree. Someone said something about his pro day and that is where I saw it too. He took a little extra step on the deep throws. Some call it a hitch but I don’t see it that way because I don’t see it on shorter throws. He does it trying to get distance. I saw that and just wanted no part of it at 1.1 . That is not tne characteristic of a 1.1 passer.  He should have been at best, late first  I had him second day. Of course I am no one and certainly not a pro evaluator, it is just that he WS so easy to suss out. They must have thought they could fix him. Changing a lifelong throwing motion with the footwork tied into it is not fuging easy. Anyone that had decent success with ‘their’ way and tried to change it to get more, can tell you that.     
    • Sounds like a tad bit of what Josh Allen had. He would make throws that made zero sense die to his desire to make a make. Bryce also turns the ball over believing their is an unlimited shot clock in those moments. Sometimes the best play is to reset for the next one. 
    • See, I think one of his biggest issues is he bails too early.  His instinct has been to bail as soon as defenders get behind him and the pocket starts to close in. Taller QBs hang in there for that extra second or two and throw over guys as the pocket collapses in the QBs lap.  BY runs as soon as this starts to happen, which means routes don’t have time to develop and the field gets cut in half as soon as he runs. This last game I saw some signs of him being willing to hang in the pocket when the defense gets behind him, but that has been rare.
