No teammate of steve Smith after Moose (who was here when SS was drafted) ever materialized here.  Reason?  Smitty was a dick to them.

I do think if David Gettis doesn't tear that ACL he would have been one of our major contributors for several years.

Smith seemed to respect the guys that had hustle and were late rounders. Maybe part of that is because they knew they couldn't touch him. But if you had a pedigree and didn't back it up he was definitely an asshole.

He needs to go away for a while because he's not so entertaining with knowledge of his recent transgressions.  I turn the channel and I suspect lots of folks do 

I mean, he has done less than the POTUS, so...

You'd think that Smitty is saying all these guys some are complaining about as future HoFers. He gives his honest analysis and leaves room for a player to succeed or fail based upon how they develop and where and how they're developed. He's not going to be overly negative.

TMac: "good player not great."

I'm thinking he was most excited about Jayden Higgins (even though he had him at eight). He was certainly excited about Higgins' upside. He obviously likes Golden and Egbuka as well. I think he believes there are too many questions about McMillan to take him high, the biggest one the way I decided to interpret it is whether Tet has that dawg in him.

 

He didn't say any player is "him" or anything like that, but watch someone say Smitty had poor evaluations this time next year.

Tet will probably be a probowl receiver.  If you watch his highlights, they project well enough.  People who like blazing speed, are more likely to look down on Tet.  However, he has good speed to my eyes and can run away from folks.  He would be worth a top pick.

I like TMac but he does worry me that he could be just another big body that can't separate constantly like KNeal Harry. The same way Burden worries me that he could be another Jalen Reagor. I think Golden will be a solid WR but I think 8 is a little rich. That's why I'd take Jayden Higgins in the 2nd unless we can trade down in the 1st and get Golden then

Steve Smith is a better pussy analyst than dick.

There’s zero evidence of this either. Cheated on his wife with a 4.5. Probably just for the top. No eye for talent for men or women.

Never saw a pic of the marching band cum dumpster.  I figured she had to be bad, though.

    • Not sure if they are happy but realize they can’t upgrade everything this year and are content with the group
    • Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers  
    • While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
