Smith is real angry now. I'm finally excited.

For some reason I feel like things might have come together at the end of this game. Everyone did their best to get mistakes out of their system.. including Clausen. But we saw some real progress down the stretch and most importantly guys wanting to make some plays. Even the playing was much better.

I don't know how else to describe it. Whether Jimmy or Matt starts next week (think it should be Jimmy) I think we are going to see guys getting serious about their professions and starting to make some plays. I think that Smith is finally engaged in this thing and is done accepting what we've all been seeing.

LOL wow, he just kind of called out the coaches as well. Good. Somebody needs to get out of pocket right now. But, I will admit, I saw Smitty coming across the field on drag/slant routes a couple times with a step on the DB and Clausen threw to someone else, so that's probably where a great deal of this is coming from.

Hey Smith you moron, the team was 0-2 with your boyfriend in there as QB. The team SUCKS no matter who is QB. Let the kid develop, someone let you develop at one time.

It's only natural for a player like Smith to get a little heated. Fact is, we don't know what he said to Clausen. All I know is I have no problem with what Smith and Clausen said in the link above.

I'd be more concerned if Smitty wasn't angry, to be honest.

smith is pissed because clausen wouldn't keep forcing him the ball.

the one time he did try to force it, it was intercepted..

i myself think clauses is too cautious at times, but he does know how to protect the football.

Smitty probably wants the ball cause there is NO other WR that can or has made a play. so far. One thing you can count on Smitty for, is to FIGHT for that ball. Have NOT seen that from the other "WRs" on the team...yet. Until then, Smitty is the only legit threat we have at WR or TE and of course he wants the ball :(

I thought Smith wanted to be a #2? Yeah, right.

I am sure that a lot of this is just frustration. Smith feels like he is getting open and the QB is not getting him the ball. However, this is really the first week that Jimmy has really gotten to work with Smith much and Smith missed a day or two of practice.

Their timing will get better.

Also, I don't think SS was calling Jimmy out or calling for a QB change, he is just frustrated. Really though, the team has needed SS to get mad for a while now. He is a veteran that everyone in that locker-room will listen to. If he is fired up and passionate the wake of his emotion will probably sweep everyone else up with it.

You can't really blame Clausen. Smitty didn't practice most of the week and this is the first time Clausen has even practiced with the ones. He really put it together in the second half. It is definitely something to build on and I look forward to next week. They need to stick with Clausen now and let him learn. If they keep changing QBs they are going to kill everyones confidence in both QBs and they will be screwed for the long haul.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      And once again I showed you it’s been pretty even. We spent 2nd and 3rd rounders this past draft on edge rushers. No one’s going to sit here and do the math on a draft value chart etc. the only reason I even entertained this was because you said we’ve spent nothing on defense when that simply isn’t true. It also didn’t help we traded our ONLY WR worth a damn to trade up for Bryce soo… And this is kind of the issue with the anti Bryce crowd. This crowd tends to blame him for the trade up. I was team Stroud. Had the panthers not taken Young the only other QB they were going to take was Richardson. So your issue should be with Tepper, Morgan, Fitterer not Bryce.  Bryce is who he is and it was pretty obvious who he was during the draft process. Bryce is slowly developing into that guy most thought he’d be. Give him a WR like Jamo and this offense as a whole would improve greatly.  Anyone thinking he was the next Pat Mahomes or Josh Allen is clearly slow. Bryce was always going to need pieces around him much like EVERY other QB Burrow has Chase and Higgins and they’ve done nothing. After losing in AFC Championship in 2022, Burrow is 17-15. QB’s need a team around them It’s why a Jalen Hurts led Eagles team dismantled a Pat Mahomes led KC team in the SB Imo the QB’s doing the most with the least up until this year have been Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson  This year it’s Drake Maye and Josh Allen  Outside of the 3-5 elite type QB’s I’m not really sure what people expect here. Is Bryce ever going to be in that elite category? Nope. Should we punt on Bryce and keep swinging? I don’t think so. Should we keep swinging while hanging onto Bryce? Yeah but I don’t know what that looks like This team as a whole isn’t very good. Offense and defense and that’s the simple truth

      I didn't move the goal posts. But anyone who follows football who wants to engage in a rational discussion can't argue that 10 7th round picks are equal to 10 1st rounders in value. The argument has always been we haven't spent as much on defense has we have on offense. Draft picks have value just like salary. We have not spent the same amount of draft pick salary cap on defense that we have on offense since drafting Bryce. It's not even close. Just the 2 1sts we used on Bryce, 2 overall 1sts have a value of 6000. That doesn’t even factor in DJ Moore or the 2 2nds. Bryce cost more than everything we've spent on defense in 6 damn years.
