Would it be worth the risk?

Do you think it would be worth the risk to put Steve Smith in for a few series or maybe even a quarter to see if we can get something positive going in the pass game this weeekend? Or do you think the risk is too great? I am on the fence on this one. You always have QB's and WR saying they need to work on timing and getting the feel for each other, do you think TC practice is good enough?

Thoughts?....

He won't play in the preseason. Why in the hell would we risk another injury to him for a meaningless game? I'm pretty sure he knows the routes already and doesn't need practice catching balls, although he's already doing that.

I don't think he'll get hurt playing 2 or 3 series

Third preseason game is supposed to be when everything is clicking. We need our offense to click in this game. Having Smitty in there will do that and build for a good start for the regular season. Like I said mentally it would be a good thing for the whole team.

    • Sure if you just blindly look at stats, you can pinpoint a couple areas that look similar. But come on man that's lazy analysis. Instead of throwing lower percentage throws, Dalton held onto the ball unconscionably long, leading to several of those sacks including that unthinkable one at the end of the first half, inflating his completion percentage. Bryce for all his flaws, does a pretty good job of escaping pressure and scrambling for 5 yards or throwing it away. Dalton's pocket presence was just so incredibly bad today, which led to both of his lost fumbles. If Bryce would just hold onto the ball and get sacked every 3rd play instead of throw it away or try a contested pass, his completion percentage would be 15 points higher than Dalton's today. And Bryce only had more yardage in 3 of 7 games? You mean when we played run heavy schemes in our wins, instead of Dalton being forced to throw all game cause we're getting blown out?  Look anyone is more than justified in arguing Bryce Young doesn't have the tools to lead this team to a super bowl. But he has been head and shoulders better this year than what Dalton showed today. That was just an abysmal perfomance.
    • 100% correct.    we also have a team that is completely incapable of responding to adversity. The first sign of trouble and the team just unravels. I think that says a lot about coaching more than anything. It can also be explained with the amount of youth we have playing key roles on offense and defense. 
    • He's not elevating anyone around him and will never be that kind of qb. He is what he is. He will always need a good team around him to play his best. His best is not a game changer but game manager. If you accept that then you will understand what the outlook is going forward.
