Steve Smith Rips into Panthers WRs, "They may draft a WR in the 1st this year that will actually give good effort"

Smitty was on WFNZ earlier

- said 49ers are a good team, Panthers are a avg team

- they asked you wont see that type of blowout again.  Smitty: "Is #64 going to be on the field?" "Your going to get beat, this is a copy cat league.  You dont think Edge Rushers like Cam Jordan arent going to watch that tape?"

 

Then he ripped into the WRs.  "Anytime the Panthers play a good defense, they struggle."  "Tennessee has some good CBs".

Then goes onto "they cant beat Press, cant beat Zone, they give lackluster effort"  the Panther will be drafting in the 20's, and there are a lot of good WRs there.  And it wont surprise me that they will draft a WR who will give good effort"

He's telling it like it is.

He have been high on Moore initially, and while Moore may put up decent numbers for the whole year, he certainly hasn't established himself as a true WR1.

And Samuel hasn't performed exceptionally either.

I still believe they both have the talent, but the production hasn't been there, and according to someone who is qualified to make the judgement, neither is the effort.

Hopefully this will light a fire under them.

Uh, didn't he say that they drafted his replacement with Moore? 0.o

I mean you can be high on a guy coming out but then they flop and some times lack of effort.  If not, there would not be such thing as a bust

Just now, ncfan said:

I mean, when they start to ball out, yes they arent labeled a bust.  Thats kind of how it works

.....well first and foremost the point here is that flip flopping like that is ass. 

 

Secondly if that's the case no one is ever wrong about any player then. Because they can 'change' their mind about them after the fact. 

 

Thirdly, if you're labeling Moore as a 'bust' as of now in his second year, then you're not understanding positions or what the word bust actually means. This isn't geared towards you specifically, i'm saying this in general.  WR usually take longer to develop and make an impact. As of now Moore has been more on the average side than the bust side. For the year and half he's been here. I wouldn't label him a bust just yet, seems to me that Smith taking the hot take on this. The loss was horrible but the WR's were the least of the worries to be completely honest.

    • I do think the rating is fair given how this unit hasn’t proven it with production. I understand you have to rank off production, not potential. However, our unit is also in a position to make this rating look foolish a year from now. We have 4 guys in the WR/TE room who all could legitimately take the next step this year, and catapult our rank. A guy under a lot of people’s radar after we took Tet, Jalen Coker. Mark my words, he will become the star of this room, and be the heir to Thielen.
    • Exactly. You’d think 2-7 wins a year (in a 17 game season no less) since 2017 is going to keep us bottom tier. Every year we say the same poo like we haven’t been a bad team the past 7 years. Until we prove we aren’t a bottom dweller, that’s where we’ll stay ranked. God forbid we have OL injuries like 2016.
    • What I love and hate about this team is it’s more filled with potential breakout players than ever before. JT, XL, Coker, Smith-Wade, Ikem, Trevin… and even Bryce are all guys I could legitimately see taking the next step. But the problem with having so many of those guys is that team success somewhat relies on them taking that step, and some are bound not to. That being said, I’m cautiously optimistic given our softer schedule, the way the offense clicked late last year, and the direction we finally have at GM, coach, and QB. Could see us as a sneaky playoff team.
