Steve Smith Ranked #7 All Time!

lol from the Michael Vick one:

Imagine being on a team where you are coming closer and closer to a championship every season.

Every single one of your teammates click and get the job done in a big way.

Then, all of a sudden, the leader of your team is facing jail time for dog fighting.

Yeah the 2007 Falcons having just fired Jim Mora and coming off two non-playoff seasons in a row were right on the cusp of the promised land until Vick threw it all away. No wonder there are still people who think he's a good quarterback.

As for the Steve Smith stuff, so long as he's not murdering hookers and passing out with hypodermic needles in his arm on South Tryon I'm not overly worried about him considering how little his "leadership issues" seem to actually affect things on the field.

He did punch two teammates in the face and I've heard he acts like a complete ass hole a good bit. So I can see why some one would rate him that high. Then again I don't think he is that bad of a teammate. I think he just has his really bad moments.

This article makes no sense at all. its apparently being a bad teammate to retire to follow what you love (ricky williams) or for pursuing illegal activity (even though a good portion of these players participate in illegal activity as well), but yet it's perfectly acceptable to throw away a franchise (and it's fans and players) if they won't allow you to financial cripple them (peppers, haynesworth, revis, etc)?

Also, where's ty cobb?

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
