Smith wanted Clausen to apologize to the guys in the huddle

[KillerKat]

How often do ANY WRs come up with that kind of ball. It'd be one thing if it was just behind him, but it was below his waist as well. He was also running towards 2 defenders waiting for him IIRC. Most guys trying aren't going to catch that.

If I was Smitty I would've batted that poo down anyway.

A NFL receiver like him still should've caught it. It hit him right in the palms of his hands. No excuses. It hit him right in his hands.

You are using that saying incorrectly. Hitting him in his hands is used when it hits the receiver in stride and in his hands when he is trying to catch a normal pass.

What happened there was that the pass was so bad it was incredible that Smith even got his hands on the ball. Most receivers wouldn't even be able to do that with that pass.

Edit:

The pick that Rodgers threw today hit Jennings "in the hands." You can see the difference in those to plays and see what one was actually catchable and what one wasn't.

Is anyone else tired of the same old threads?

Clausen sucks. The O-Line sucks. The playcalling sucks.

None of that is going to change. Why are we still trying to make a point about anything going on out on the field?

Smith dropped a ball today that hit him right in his hands. Yes the ball was thrown behind him, but Smith should've still been able to catch it. We all know Clausen has been terrible and probably will only be a backup at best after this season, but Smith has no room to talk after dropping and fumbling balls this season.

Smith has all the room in the world to talk, he IS this franchise, has been for forever.

And no anyone with half a clue would know that pass was un-catchable, regardless of if it hit his fingertips.

So what I get from reading this thread is...

Steve Smith sucks?

As long as there are Clausen apologists, us realists will make and post in these threads.

Clausen has no protection, no time. i'm not saying he is great, but he is the best we've got and he is still a rookie...he will only get better if we give him exp. and an offensive line. All I am saying is give Jim a chance

So then i guess Smith is no longer considered one of the top receivers in the league anymore. A top 5 or 10 receiver, like many of us on here thought of him as before, would've made that catch. I guess now we see him as just an average receiver that can't make the catches that a top, or even above average, receiver should make anymore.

There's no excuse to drop a ball that hits you right in the hands. Yes the ball was thrown behind, but you're just making a bigger exageration than it was to further support your point. Smith didn't have to make an acrobatic or diving catch. He just turned his arms around and the ball hit him in his palms and he dropped it. Period.

As long as the Huddle exists, us Clausen haters will ignore the few good plays he makes and masturbate vigorously to his mistakes while pointing out how smart we are.

Good try.

It was almost funny this time. If you could have somehow worked in how I am a "Moore slurper" it would have been maybe a 6/10.

It doesn't matter who you are, no one makes every catch.

Aww. One of these days I'll get the credit from you I've been dying to receive.

I guess SS is a Clausen hater too huh? Or is he just a Moore slurper?

Okay, you're right... Desean Jackson caught a ball in a similar situation earlier this year against Atlanta, and he turned out alright on that play.
