i would like to see more receivers catching passes....i think everyone would....i hate that hackett keeps getting activated over jarrett.....hackett never catches anything and rarely even gets opportunities to do so...jarrett at least brings size to the table....i guess the coaches feel he is still not ready to be given more opportunities

anyways...my point is not that jarrett should start over hackett.....i just want to know why more people arent catching passes.....is it jake??? i know a lot of people think that.... a lot of people say he only looks for smith.....is it the play calling???? is davidson not making a greater effort to call plays that get others involved???? is it that other receivers arent getting open???? WHAT IS IT!!!????

anybody have thoughts on the subject????

I'm not going to pretend that I know everything, so I don't have an answer for that, but Jake does have a knack for relying on Smitty way too much, and it seems that he's been doing it a whole lot lately. As long as he realizes soon that this sh*t doesn't fly in the playoffs, all will be forgiven. :)

I will be the first to say that Jake does watch Smitty for too long on some plays, this happens IMO because basically all the pass plays are designed around him for the most part, I have seen Rosario,Barnidge and more WIDE on some plays and Jake just has his eyes glued to 89.

And Mega I didn't mean on a personal level, you can't say Jake dosen't look for him, they threw a bomb to him on the first play, he can be just as big of a part of this offense as Smitty.

I'm pretty sure that play to Moose was just written up like that, so it really wasn't a decision during play, but executing a flea-flicker to Moose. He was spreading the ball around early this season and even when Smitty came back, but all of sudden he's been looking smith's way too much. I think he relied on Smitty to help get him out of his funk after the bye, and never looked back.

Y'all can argue with mega all you want, but he does have a point. Jake does lock on Smitty VERY often.

im not arguing with him....im not sure what the answer is....but how do we know that jake is locking onto smitty? i know it seems that way since smith puts up all of the numbers...but since we dont know the plays, how can we tell where jake wants to go with the ball when he drops back??

      Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.

      I wake up this morning full of rage towards Ronald McDonald Rivera / Gettleman / Hurney

      I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us.

      From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
