Smitty vs. Fitzgerald

I'd like to see these two in a skills competition..... send them both down the field and throw up a "hail mary" and see which one comes down with it!!! Wow, they have to be the two best frisbee catchers in the league.. It would be worth the price of admission.

You may be right, but I'd never bet against Smitty on anything... he's just way too savy... Not sure how he does it, but he always does... Imagine having Smitty on one side and Fitz on the other.... How would you stop that?

My money would be on Fitz, Smitty is great but Fitz just is a freak.

In terms of ball skills, Fitzgerald is the best in the league, better than Randy Moss too. He catches with his hands more than anyone.

I love Smith's explosiveness everywhere on the field though, he isn't like other receivers who are effective down the field but not too short, Smith's effectiveness is the same everywhere he goes

Yeah he's more physical than Moss, and has unreal body control as well. I love to watch him. I would say he and Smitty are 1 and 1a, with Fitz maybe having a slight edge solely due to his height which certainly is no fault of Smitty's.

Was interesting to hear Key praising Fitz for that "throw into double coverage" without criticizing Warner. :)

Man, I like Moose, but that would be awsome.

You know, on the Panthers Huddle last night, they broke down that play in New Orleans where Jake supposedly threw it into double coverage to Smitty. It turns out that Smitty actually had seperation when Jake threw that ball, but because he was about to get nailed, he couldn't get enough on the ball and it hung up long enough for the defenders to get there.

They showed it on the game tape, where you can see everything on the field instead of just either the QB or the WR like you see on TV.

I'd take Smitty even if it was playing marbles, tiddlywinks, or knitting cause they guy is just a competitor....plain and simple.

He has the heart, drive and desire to be a winner, and he will always come out on top in my book.

NUFF said. :cheers2:

Smith Demands more Coverage in games and I've never seen Fitz catch a ball sitting down. No one extends like Smith and attacks the ball IMO and as good as Fitz is he still dose not demand the respect Smith dose. I think people just expect Smith now to do what other WRs do with single coverage because he has been doubled for so many seasons now. IMO Moss and Smith are still the best WRs in the game because of how you have to play them but Fitz is a close second and has had a great season this year.

    • Jake in his prime was a gutsy QB. But just like with even someone like Cam. Father time is undefeated. It's very unfortunate we have a guy who is only 24 years old that has an equivalent arm to that. Absolutely blows my mind that our brain trust lacked the basic common sense to value arm talent when making a massive trade with ramifications for years to come. Unforgivable incompetence.
    • Jake, to me, will always hold a special place in my heart.  I really feel like for his era, he deserved way more love than he got, and should’ve had more than his one Pro Bowl.  He was a gamer with an underrated rocket arm. but let me tell you, after his Tommy John surgery, when he came back, I can’t remember who it was against, but it think it was a division game, he threw a ball that was supposed to be a throw away, as I think he was under pressure, and that poo floated forever and died right at the boundary where a defender ran over and picked it off.  One of the worst throws I ever saw.  His arm just wasn’t the same after the injury and surgery.  All that to say, that’s what almost every Bryce throw to the sidelines looks like to me.
    • And again, when watching him in college he had one distinct trait that I feel makes a franchise QB - on those plays when everything breaks down around him, he creates one on his own.  He doesn’t rely on or need everyone else.  That play last night on the final drive where he was getting sacked and threw it to Diggs before his knee hit the ground?  He does similar things all the time.  Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, etc., they all do it.  It’s what made Cam so special. but we picked a guy that’s the opposite of that.  He desperately needs someone else to make a play for him because he can’t.  Even that play yesterday on 4th down to Horn.  That wasn’t a great pass.  The defender was late and came down to make a play in the ball and Bryce threw it high and outside where Horn had to leave his feet and really use strong hands to catch it.  We relied on a 5’9” rookie playing in his first pro game to make THAT catch at THAT time bc of the early turnovers and a not great throw.  Crazy.
