Might wanna go listen to Ricky Proehl talk about that one. He pretty much outright admitted that Smitty was causing a toxic locker room.

His locker was in the middle of the room too. He would talk poo about everyone very loudly.

@Catsfan69 your feelings don't matter. Go listen to Ricky Proehl (our WR coach at the time) talk about it. He was in the locker room. He was Smitty's position coach. There might not be a better direct source than that and he openly discussed it relatively recently.

I've listened to it.

He didn't say he created a toxic locker room.

He said he was hard on Cam and they were afraid Cam would be stunted by it.

That Steve held people to the same high standards he held himself too and that it was going to be hard on you if you didn't meet them.

That Steve wanted to win Now and Cam being a rookie was making too many mistakes. 

 

And I can guarantee you this Cam was complicit in that situation. There are clips on the sideline of Steve trying to teach Cam and Cam completely ignoring him like some entitled punk.

I'm sorry but no rookie QB or not gets to act entitled towards Vets especially a Hall of Famer.

This is why I laugh when this board praises him so highly. I gave up on him after the 3rd time he punched a teammate.

Man, the Cam Stan's are Stanning hard I tell ya what. If Cam doesn't light it up, this place could be on suicide watch.

 

On second thought, this place will be in "Build an Excuse Land". lol

Uh oh... Mr. Positivity himself comes along and tells on himself.  Nah man, we ain't coming over to your house.

You might want to rewatch that. Because you're just talking out of your ass and making things up apparently. He absolutely does say that he was creating a toxic environment, one that he was solely responsible for.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
