I agree with Orange, I don't think that Champ's groin is in good enough shape to hang with Smith. Especially as shifty and precise Smith can be in running his routes, I don't know if he could hang with him, unless they want to play a lot of zone coverage.

I think Smith will abuse the hell out of Bly though.

My blind homerism says Smith. Champ is still a top 10 CB at least. But he's not so good nowadays that QB's won't even look his way.

Jake will throw at him, I bet you $100. lol

He always trusts his guy to win esp. if it is Smitty.

Had he thrown better passes vs Nnamdi, Smitty would have had a few.

Champ will be more aggresive than most for a jump ball in the air, but I still think Smitty's determination is unmatched.

Dude with a recently busted groin ain't gonna be outrebounding a guy like Smitty who got a huge vertical leap. Smitty gonna get his. Count on it! And if Bly is on him, it's all good.

Good point. Smith also blocks well, runs great routes and does a great job after the catch. I really think that he would do well against almost any CB if our QB could consistently thread the needle. We all know that Jake does not operate that way so some CB's have an advantage in tight coverage because of that.

Our boy smitty will deff win, im not so sure he got absolutely burned against Aso from Oakland hard to tell Jake had an awful day. Smitty will win though, why wouldnt he? Hes the best WR in the NFL.

Neither funny, nor intelligent.

What's funny is Steve Smith has averaged 57 receptions, 820 yards, and 5 touchdowns a year. OVERRATED. Do not ever again consider him the best wide receiver in the NFL.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By pantherclaw · Posted

      Every team does it's homework. More so than any fan.  Brooks, had he not been injured, would have been a first round talent.  I have zero problems with the team (Dan Morgan and company) drafting Brooks in the 2nd.  He is a fantastic talent.  As far as risk, this is the NFL.  Any and every player is exposed to the same brutality that the NFL is.  Despite Brooks latest setback, it doesn't cost the team much.  Our running back room is stacked.  Could they have drafted someone else? Sure. No promise that someone else would have made an impact last year.  Or this year.   When it's your job to do what Dan does, I pray you get it all right. Lord knows that there isn't a single GM that gets it all right.

      If we were a solid winning organization most of us would have no problems with this selection. We would have had a capable starter in place to allow him to be eased into the rotation. If were told prior to the draft that he had been completely cleared health wise, we "probably" wouldn't have a ton of reservations about this selection. If we had picked this young man on Day 3 of the draft most of us would have no problems with this selection because we wouldn't have had to use draft capital to move up and get him. Unfortunately, none of the above were true 1)  We were a terrible team in 2023 and needed an immediate impact player. 2)  He was hurt near the the end of the 2023 NCAA season. We traded up to get him even though we knew he wasn't medically cleared to play in 2024. 3) When training camp started we were hearing stories that the knee wasn't ready. That alone should have raised some red flags. I personally would have red-shirted him in 2024 in order to have him ready for 2025. We had Chubba as our lead back and other guys to fill the #2 and #3 spots on the depth chart. There was no need to rush Brooks unto the field in 2024. Here's our draft history in the 2nd round between 2021 and 2024 2021 TMJ 2022 No draft choice. We picked Matt Corall in round 3 (#94) as our only Day 2 pick. 2023 Jonathan Mingo 2024 Jonathon Brooks. We have taken 4 skill players on Day 2 of the draft for the past 4 years who have contributed absolutely nothing to the offensive side of the football. 3 are no longer on the team. Two of them are no longer in the NFL. One  could possibly never start a game due to a knee injury. This type of poor drafting is why this team has been so bad for the entire decade.
