I'm not arguing with you on this, but do we really know where we stand as far as players go?  Are the majority of our players not as good as we would like to think they are, or is it that the coaching staff, with Rhule serving as Supreme Idiot, not able to put together a scheme that would put the players in the best position to succeed?  Personally, I would like to see what a legitimate NFL head coach with a competent staff could do with this roster.  And at this point, any coach with NFL experience would be better.

Thus is why I can't judge all pur picks yet. I have no idea if they are actually bad or if they are being put routinely in bad positions. What I can say for certain is it generally takes Rhule about 4x longer to see player strength and weaknesses than it should, sometimes longer, sometimes not at all. Perfect example is Chinn. Why the hell he is playing as a safety when his abilities were on display in full close to the ball is beyond me. Chinn looks like JAG but we all have seen he is much more than that.

I meant to mention Chinn specifically as an example but just forgot in all that I did write.  Glad you brought that up.

I mean, the simplest of things 

take WR Higgins. He has not seen action 

he is a player that Mayfield is comfortable with …he has played with him in disciplined sets and he and Higgins seem to  improvise well together …they seem to know what the other is going to do when things break down, at least in Cleveland 

to get mayfield comfortable with someone he knows in an offense and players he isn’t comfortable with…..why in God’s name is Higgins not out there ?
 

is Shi Smith that much better than Higgins ?  From what I’ve seen the answer is a definitive ‘no’

      Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
