Agent 89 vs CMC

What's funny is I'm already gearing up to flex on every person who wants CMC traded (especially his No. 1 hater), because every one of them will be whining next October "we shouldn't have traded CMC, [new rookie draft pick] sucks."

Also, without him, this offense will probably only get 7-8 first downs the rest of the season.

I'm fully aware of the tenacity 89 brought. I'm talking about skill set.

His tenacity is what elevated his skill set.

89 had a “Hulk-esque” ability to play better the angrier he got. Which was entertaining as hell, productive and best of all, available.

CMC is fun to watch.  Until he gets hurt. That’s about all I got.

When Steve Smith (and Moose) caught the ball HE became the aggressor. He attacked. He'd stiff arm a guy's face into the dirt.

5 Houston Texans piled on the guy he pops out and runs away for a TD iirc. He destroyed the Bears and Giants.

CMC has dominated but not on that level not like Smitty. How many teams best player at any given time is a wide receiver? 

CMC is good but Smitty had that dog in him and played like he was 6'2".

Sadly, we have a guy CAPABLE of being the modern Steve Smith, but he lacks the fire Agent 89 brought to the table every single snap.  I remember 89 just friggin ENDING people . . . as a blocker.  I don't see DJ ever getting there unfortunately.

CMC is a completely different player.

Smith's my favorite player of all-time but I'd pick CMC. Smitty's everything you want in a WR but Christian trancends his position and opens the playbook, giving you strategic options you would not have with other RBs. Smith was elite but there's few players all-time that break the mold and force coaches to evolve their thinking like Christian. 

Also why I dismiss those who point to our failures as proof that CMC doesn't move the needle. He hasn't come anywhere near his potential because he hasn't had a coach yet who knows how to use him in a non-traditional way.

Steve Smith is one of the greatest offensive threats to ever play period 

People forget his first NFL touch was a 94yd KO return for a TD.

That he's also out best punt returner.

That he was a vicious violent blocker and never took plays off knowing that his block could give a teammate a TD.

Then to top it off he could blow by you, run over you or shake 5 of you off his back like something out of a Marvel Movie.

 

I love Cmac. I would need a Hershel Walker deal to trade him.

But if we had Steve in 2015 he would have found a way to will us to that game fix or no fix.

    • Glass houses and all. I find the people who are the most adamant about this type of thing tend to have the most to hide. Careful buddy. 
    • Also, wanted to point out, all 3 of the Pivot guys I respect and appreciate tremendously.  I know RC only had 1 pro bowl, but I loved his game.  He was tough as nails and played with a ton of heart and grit.  He was trying to knock people out, but was also super cerebral.  Fred is obviously a hall of famer and just as tough. Channing made the most of what he had and was hard-nosed as well.  And yet, all three of them let Steve slide on a ton of poo in this interview.  They actually cowered in several moments and I don’t like that at all.  Because for all the things I mentioned in my initial post in this thread, them not trying to reel him back in or hold his feet to the fire on certain bullshit, and feels gross.  Yall were all on the same competitive level as athletes, and yet, yall just let him skate on poo like talking about invoking using a gun on someone, laughing off how he essentially ended two teammates’ careers by BULLYING them and then co-signing it, and letting him completely sidestep accountability about his affair.  I get it, because apparently he invited you to his home to do the interview, but either talk some real poo or don’t do the interview at all.  This was some real softball poo.
    • This season’s leader, Daniel Jones, is averaging 265.9 yards per game, that would rank 12th in 2015. Even going back to 2020, he would rank 10th in passing yards. So it does appear that passing yards is down, but is that because they aren’t as good? Possibly, but we were spoilt in recent years when we had Brady, Peyton, Brees, Rodgers, Roethlisberger, Rivers, Ryan, Stafford (etc). As crops of QBs go, it was an amazing era to watch and most will end up in the Hall of Fame. I’m not convinced you we could list as many potential Hall of Fame QBs from the current crop. Will it go pass heavy again? I think there’s a good chance that it will, but it will require QBs that can consistently air the ball out in the frequency we saw in the 00s and 10s. I think currently coaches are favouring a more balanced approach, if not favouring a strong running game.
