Don’t ever listen to Smitty

That's because for all the respect I had for Smitty being a no punches held guy throughout his playing career, he has done a complete 180 since going into TV.  He has literally been Tepper's mouthpiece since he got the gig with the team.  It's why I don't really listen to poo he says about evaluations anymore bc it's all fluff being pushed from the top down.  I really saw it once Rhule was fired and Smitty finally started all this after-the-fact poo talk about Rhule, but when Rhule was here, Smitty was singing his praises and toeing the company line.

I watched that off-season closely, and I don't ever remember Smitty saying Mingo was his favorite receiver. In fact Mingo was down the list a little bit. David Tepper wanted Bryce, and to say Smitty affected that decision is ludicrous. 

Do you remember when Smitty said that Cooper Kupp was the best one in that draft for his money? Funny that Coker has his best day, because Smitty was the first (and only) analyst that I heard praise Coker pre-draft. 

Smitty is decidedly non-committal on most of the guys and keeps extreme criticism of them to a minimum during the off-season. He keeps it all in perspective, understands context, and advises people who listen to him to do the same. He knows that there's a lot that can play towards a player's success or failure. He basically tells you if a guy has something to work with.

Coker is our best young receiver.

Being a great player has absolutely zero correlation with being a good talent evaluator.

Mingo is a bust and doesn't need to see the field anymore.   Coker is a better option.

Lol yall can’t have it both ways. Smitty was obsessed with Coker this entire draft process.

Coker was only on my radar because of Smitty. I had literally never heard of the kid and wouldn't have hadn't it been for 89.

    • Best I heard its a clause the bungals want to add. It prevents them form paying the full guaranteed amount if triggered. No one knows the details of the clause, but guesses are it relates to off-field stuff. Stewart is in the right here. Before they signed burrow, chase, and Higgins they were the cheapest team in the league bar none. Unlike tepper or jarrah Jones or any other NFL ownership, all Mike brown owns is the beagals. Every other owner has many other money making businesses, not bungals.  I still remember when Brenston Bunker was starting on WFNZ and he told the story about the beagals telling him to pick a used cup form a huge pile, LOLS! They been on hard knocks and I remember Marvin lewis telling the players not to take home Gatorade bottles........* but in that case, I believe some players were taking a back pack and filling it up with drinks. Still you make millions(around 200million) in net profit and Im sure coke gave the team those bottles, still... Its a 32 team billion business, someone has to the cheapest.....Panthers were around the next cheapest team before tepper bought them and he has POURED millions upon millions into the team. He bought a bubble that Richardson never would, so the team had to gather in building during the rain. He spent millions on coofus machines that he just gave away like the bubble. Tepper made that AC trailer a thing. I've trashed him about his concerts and taking away end zone seats from fans. But the guy will spend money any way to efforts to better the team, dang I just remembered the deal he gave Rhule- more than Andy Reid at the time.  I know results have not came, but Id 100% take Tepper over Mike brown as a owner.
    • There's no way they're shipping you some uniform you haven't seen lol.  I feel like they'd just refund you and ask if you wanted the new one when it launched. Probably just making the blues the primary, or a new helmet for a new alternate/variation.
    • Man even after 5-12 seasons they are able to produce hype videos.
