I cannot think of one player to ever play the game that was MORE intense than SS.  I was at the 2005 game against Minnesota where Fred Smoots said he was going to shut Smitty down.

It was not as he thought.  I believe Smitty had 2 TD and 199 yds and Smoots was ruined as a DB after that. I can watch his highlight reels over and over.  Love watching him going up as a 5'9" receiver and out jumping multiple defenders.  I miss watching him play.

And sadly I watch him tear us a new A-hole when we played Baltimore.  

I can see why Culley never brought it up.

He had 10 receptions for 154 yards that season. Why would he practice as a receiver in the Pro Bowl when he was named as a returner? I get that it motivated him and that's great but what would you expect?

It's the Pro Bowl.

What the hell would it have hurt?

Top 3 player to pull on a jersey for us. He's a first ballot Hall of Famer for mine.

If you watch the video Ricky posted, the way Smitty tells it is that Cully was short a WR and the punter hadn't arrived yet, so Harbaugh sent him over to run with the receivers. Culley basically told him t get his sorry ass back over to the JV team and leave the real WR's alone. I'm definitely paraphrasing that last part, but I guarantee that's how Smitty heard it.

Even when Smith was at the end of his rookie contract and wanting a new big payday he caught wind of someone involved in the contract negotiations calling him an "unproven" WR. He was furious about this comment and went on a rant. Many sports media talking heads acknowledged that Smith was a good WR, but doubted if he was worth top dollar at the time.

I am sure Cully had no idea what danger he was in by dismissing Smith as belonging with the special teams unit. Smith gave Ken Lucas a terrible beating for unclear reasons during a lull practice, so anyone could become a target and it didn't much to set Smith off.

He was a rookie right? I'm sure the vets would be happy to give up reps at the probowl...in Hawaii lol. Seems like a great chance for the Vets to enjoy the nasty weather and a rookie to learn something, anything. The game did decide homefield advantage for the next scrimmage game. 

Wasn't Cam pushed into a pool his rookie year at a party? Very serious stuff, that's why we had one this year, or maybe ever again.

      Rookie season being key to uour argument. I didn't at all mislead about the talent Cam had to work with. Kalil was a great center. Olsen was a great TE. Our WRs were probably the worst in the league. Cam still won MVP, we went 15-1, and we went to the SB. Your attempt to bring up Cam to defend Bryce is desperate and clownish. Bryce has more talent to work with and has done WAY less.

      Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
