Steven Smith Sr first round QB breakdown

Recommended Posts

I didn't see a topic on this ( or a post in another thread )

 

I thought this was pretty insightful as far as what is being said around these pro days and the combine. Youngs processing vs Stroud in rhythm are two points that stuck out to me : 

 

 

 

Side note : Smitty needs to lose his cohost and bring on James Palmer or someone with more charisma and knowledge. Steve is great but he needs the guy on other side to play off of.

I think you could see on the co-hosts' face that he fears he's about to be replaced.

Great watch in all honesty. 

Great to hear how all in Steve has gotten into this whole process. 

Liked the part where Steve talked about the difference between being a leader and an Alpha dog, and admitted he was not a leader when he played and only knew how to be an A-Hole to "Lead". Good growth from Smitty on a personal level.

I really liked Steve Smiths skills and admired him as a WR but I am not sure I would have liked being his teammate as a fellow WR.

What's funny is back when he played he would probably think you were the problem. These days I think he'd tend to agree with you.

Analyst Smitty is actually pretty good, has mellowed out, and is entertaining. I'm enjoying his post playing career. He also really has a knack for scouting WRs - He labeled Kupp as the best of their draft class.

Yeah lots of great stuff in this episode. Perception vs reality, Jalen Carter stuff. 

 

Feeling more and more confident that Young is the pick. The praise here was high.

I agree. Well stated.

    • Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field. 
    • At least we don't need to hear overreacting about towels ...
    • Actually there is, try being a Charlotte Hornets fan. I mean the team fuging moved at its peak and hasn't recovered since and that was 25 years ago
