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

the other receivers have to get open or make plays.

those passes in the end zone in the end were tough plays... but plays that could have been made in the NFL.

they need one more playmaker to step up at receiver. clausen obviously needs to step up as well.

If you have read between the lines on Smitty, he always says what "they" call or decide. Think he is trying to say something without saying it...not the first player to go that route and leave shortly afterwords...

What are they going to get rid of smith also? Then who would actually make a play on offense? lol

Smith is angry cause we didnt go after a receiver in the offseason

And we benched Moore after 2 games for a rookie. Thus stalling the horrible O play even more

Man ol man. Does the thread I made yesterday about Smith TD's (5 consecutive Td's before today) ring bells?

Anyone?

The things I think or say isn't even physic thoughts. Just things you can just sense to happen

He was probably telling Clausen "f*ck Davidson's play call, give me the damn ball!" I believe Smith is smart enough to know that:

1. Team didn't find any other legit receivers, he is it.

2. Defense keys on him and doesn't give a sh*t about anyone else who catches passes.

3. Extra coverage frustrates him

4. Rookie QB was probably told during practice and film study not to lock on to a target, so he may be forcing looks to other guys to avoid Delhomme Syndrome.

Add it all up, you get a pissed off Smitty. Not Jimmy he should be directing it at though.

I better be saving up for a new jersey then.

Smith is frustrated because:

1. He's getting older.

2. Next year might be a lockout, so even older.

3. Not only are we ignoring the "win now!" mindset, we're flipping it off and telling it to go fug itself.

He probably knew what was coming when we dumped a big part of our salary.. i mean team.. this off-season, but I doubt he expected us to be THIS bad, or for a QB controversy so soon, or for the team to just flat out suck on so many levels. We've got no chance at all to make any post-season noise, and Smith is just going to get louder the further into the season we go.

Won't surprise me if he wants out before too long.

    • 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. 
    • We need to hope this scenario plays our next week he fails with pressure…what that means with Evero, is beyond me
