If we could get a 2nd rounder for Steve Smith, would you take it?

[Mr. Scot]

the original question didn't specify when we should trade him. by "relatively unproductive", all i meant was we have 2 other receivers who are better than him. i didn't mean he was totally washed up. teams do weird things. some team with no good receivers may trade a 2nd rounder for him at that point. who knows? it's just a hypothetical question. yes, veteran leadership is important, but not more important than a 2nd round pick. unless that veteran is a starter, i'd take the pick.

Even the furthest stretch of the imagination could not possibly justify that statement. It is simply, totally, flatly untrue :nonod:

Naw, I'd keep Smitty.

how so?

[pepaw]

how so?

All of this talk that SS has lost a step might be true, it is very difficult to evaluate with the second worse QB play in the league for the majority of the year.

However with MM throwing the ball, Steve averaged 94 ypg. Which is still elite Top 5 receiving number. This is also not counting the fact that he didnt get to finish one of his games with matt playing.

I also do not think trading him in two years is a good idea either. His top of the line speed will dwindle with time but his quickness and route running will remain allowing him to be a possession slot receiver capable of moving the chains.

Also Steve Smith is not Torry Holt(who has been on poo teams in the twilight of his career). We do not know if he will be productive in the twilight of his career or not.

[Mr. Scot]

Name the two receivers on roster right now that you think are better than Smith.

[The NFL Shield At Midfield]

Smith will be productive even after his speed starts to decline. His ball skills, route running, and tenacity will keep him dangerous well into his mid 30s.

[pantherclaw]

Trade away our #1 receiver, and go with a bunch of young receivers? Lay off the drugs.

[stan786]

I would take Steve Smith now over Tory Holt at any point in his career.

[DawgzLife]

Stop! Stop with the logic Mr Spock.

[Guest silver82blade]

i'd love to come on a message board one day where people disagree with each without the personal attacks. oh what a world it would be. that would really suck if that poster stopped being a fan of the team 'cause he kept getting cursed at.
