It appears Smith may have indeed forced Jake's release..

Why can't you guys separate Steve Smith the athlete from Steve Smith the person? I don't think anyone on here would argue that he is anything but a premier athlete, especially for his size. The guy is literally juiced up, not on roids, but on old fashioned rage. He's a throwback football player.

But to then say things like "Steve Smith is a class act" or "Steve Smith deserves this or that" is laughable. Steve Smith is an absolute turd of a human being. Does he do nice things for lower income kids? Yes. Does he say funny things sometimes? Uh huh. But he treats so many people like crap for the worst of all reasons...because he can. Teammates. Staff. Fans. Reporters. People who do him favors because he's Steve Smith.

You're so damn wrapped up in your 89 jerseys that you refuse to accept that the same traits that make him stand out on the field also make him hard to stand off it.

Have you forgotten that Jake was one of the teammates who stood up for him when he punched Ken Lucas? Or that Jake has never said a bad word about him when reporters went fishing for one?

How dare you meat. He's an angel and he walks on water. There is nothing bad about him. Period.

No one is worshipping Smith in this thread, and I agree that the "class act" stuff is a little much, however: did Steve punch your mom or something?

Just get sick of all the "God I love Smitty" talk on here. Seen him treat people like dirt so many times. Makes me wonder about people's priorities.

I'm with you (as evidenced by my earlier post laughing at everyone defending Smith).

The man's one of my favorite players, but that's not enough for me to approve of some of the things he says or does when I never would for "lesser" players.

Remember the Lucas incident, and how many people attributed it to Smith's "competitive spirit"? When the team bounced back stronger from it, I swear it seemed more people around here attributed it to Smith's actions than Lucas'.

My priorities are W's.

Smith helps this team get those. He could punch babies in the face on his way to getting those W's and I would be ok with that.

Smitty is what anyone would want as a football player on the field, that's why he gets praised. Now, he has had his anger management issues. Just like a competitive spirit brings out the best in some people, it can bring out the worst at times. He isn't perfect, and he will be the first to tell you that, but if his victims can forgive him, then so can we.

      Rams are willing to deal one of the 1st rounders for all-pro talent in secondary

      By strato · Posted

      They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world.

      I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).

      It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
