Steve Smith leads NFC South in drops

And is tied for fourth most in NFL according to Pat Y. I really hope he keeps quiet if Moore or Clausen don't perform well at times, because I don't want his mouth to start writing checks that his ass can no longer cash. Not bashing Smitty, just saying I hope he's a part of the problem, and not the complete solution.

He's having a bad season, yet he still is our #1 and still is our best WR. We need to stop acting like he's god and like he can't make a damn mistake. It's stupid really. His fumble hurt bad last week yet he lead the team in yards. I don't get all the negativity toward him. We really do have a shitty fanbase.

It's not negativity it's reality. If you can't stand to hear that he isn't as good as he once was or that he is struggling then don't read man. The OP just pointed out he leads our division in drops, that's not hating it's a fact. There is a difference.

But what is the POINT in bringing it up other than to rag on him? Who cares if he drops it here and there. He's still our best weapon, period. You take the bad to get the good. Moose dropped it all the time but he served us well. Please tell me the reason to discuss Smith's poor performance...as it is being done more and more each week. To say he should be a #2? He said that himself! Not to mention we have no control over that choice anyway.

    • I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.   
    • Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that. 
    • I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
