The pass in the dirt


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

You are looking at it as an isolated incident. It's a series of events.

Steve Smith needs to make a decision whether he thinks he does or not.

Either,

1. Acknowledge that he is on a rebuilding team that is not anywhere close to a Super Bowl and step up a become a real leader; or,

2. Request a trade and leave.

What he shouldn't do is what he's doing now. Whether he intends to or not he's done everything wrong with a rookie quarterback. Yelling at him on the sidelines? Expecting him to thread the needle into double coverage so he can get his looks? Sitting out practices with one problem after another? Doing zero publicly to aknowlege Jimmy as an integral part of the offense (see Jordan Gross)?

Some leader.

Did anyone notice that since Randy Moss' recent comments he's playing himself out of the offense? Guess how many passes he caught from Brady last night on MNF? Zero. None. Zilch. The Pats won 41-14.

I just decided, I hope that Jimmy did throw that pass in the "dirt". The Panther's need someone concerned with this young team to lead it.

Smith is handling this just fine.IMO..you cant blame him for being frustrated we have been searching for a #2 for a long time and Smith goes 100% every play..

This entire situation is overblown

Seriously how you guys can continue to worship Clausen for the dumbest reasons is beyond me. I'll join the bandwagon when he does more than complete 50% of passes and stops being an asshat of a teammate to a veteran.

Cmon now we did have a whole 10 first downs and converted 30% of our third downs. Forget that NO converted 60% of their third downs and had 27 first downs. Clausen had a better rating than Brees. LOL. He is Awesome!!!!

He was robbed for rookie of the week!!!!

Smith has seen this movie before in 2007. David Carr part 2. Sure he is frustrated. He knows how it ends too.

He was good for two years and excellent in his junior season. He was so good Golden Tate let his draft decision hang on whatever Clausen decided to do.

And ND played a decent schedule. They always do.

Oh and Brantley sucks.

Decent schedule? Come on man. This is the stuff that gets to me the most. Just be real with it. He played a terrible schedule and put up good numbers. He didn't win a lot of games but that was mostly on the defense. Just be real and don't try and make it seem better than it is.

Fact: Jimmy's numbers were ridiculous his last season there.

Fact: They play a bad to terrible schedule each year and usually get destroyed by any real team they play. Numbers probably wouldn't be as good against if he regularly played SEC or PAC10 teams.

Fact: None of us know why he fell in the draft. Attitude, toe, delivery, Gruden's camp, etc but he did and now he's our starting QB.

If everyone just sat back and watched and didn't try to make everything this kid does seem better than reality or worse than reality this board would be a lot better.

Anyway, back to the original topic. If he did bounce it in the dirt on purpose and is purposely avoiding his biggest play maker on offense he isn't really bright. He should hit whoever is open to make his numbers look better instead of avoiding an open guy to prove a point.

    • As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
