The Underperformers: WR Corps

2nd tweet. Just don’t see the separation vertically from 12. Underthrown a touch, for sure. But he’s not winning vertically too often.  His bread and butter is RAC on the crossers and screens.

High bar, I know, but I’ve seen Steve Smith catch that last route many times with a safety bearing down on his ass. Moose, too. 

Was Smith doing that in his 2nd year?

This is Samuel’s 3rd year, and yes, Smith was doing that in his 2nd year (2003).

like I said: high bar, I know.

EDIT: 2003 was 89’s 3rd year.

No he was not.

So I’m clear: your position is Steve Smith was not making contested catches in tight windows between safeties and corners in 2003?

He atleast atleast showed a competitive edge.

 

These kids just dont have it.  Smitty was right when he called them out the other week when. He said there are guys in this upcoming draft that play with it and Panthers could draft.

I would like to see this WR crew under different management. They look like another position group for our team that has talent yet is underperforming and lacking motivation & discipline.

Like I said, these receivers play more like Funchess than Smith at the moment. All bark, no bite.

2002 was his 2nd season.

3rd year

Again, I’m looking at this stacked up against Samuel’s 3rd year. 

But your point is well received. Appreciate the clarification.

2003 was Smith's third season.

That wasn't my original point. I was mainly talking about DJ Moore.
