Smitty 2.0

Stop with this Smitty 2.0 nonsense, I've heard it for years. David Gettis, Armanti Edwards, some scrub in the 6th round from a D2 school. Every year someone compares a WR with no relevance to Smith, every WR thread is smitty 2.0 (or just feels like it....). There will NEVER be another Steve Smith, so stop with this impossible fantasy and wake up to the real world, we got Smith for only a short time longer, enjoy his magic while it's still here. There is and always will be 1 Steve Smith.

The End.

I was just trolling your thread, bro. I agree with you. There won't be another Smitty. However, I think what people are getting at are those guys "under the radar" that have breakaway speed and the potential to be a steal like Smitty was. We do need a Smitty-esque guy in here that can catch the deep ball whenever Smith retires, so that's what they're trying to say. I don't think Gettis is that guy, but he'll be a DAMN fine #2 or #3 if he gets his shot, IMO. Lafell, Gettis....now we need that #1 to be the heir apparent to Smith that won't mind being a rotational slot guy in the meantime.

like, quit be so annoying. Kapeesh?

Why get so butt hurt over me stating a fact? There will never be another Steve Smith, just like there will never be another Barry Sanders or Joe Montana. People can compare and contrast all they want to, but if someone is to be compared to Smith, I want it to be on the basis of his overall character, not just a small guy who runs fast. If you are psyched about a speedy slot receiver or a future Smith replacement (which I hope we find that guy ASAP) then thats great I am too, but to say Smith 2.0 is giving too much credit to someone who hasn't earned it yet, and that sir isn't worth crying about.

No? No what? If you have something to say make it worth while. There is only one Steve Smith, and I'm tired of him being compared to random D2 scrubs just because they are small or run fast

>calls someone a random d2 scrub

>probably cant even play madden, none the less a real football game

      This is about getting open and YAC....and the QB we have.  You basically are just highlighting average depth when targeted vs 2 players. .  And yeah, I often say AT is a small slow reliable TE in terms of what he does for us.   That's what he is.   I think a couple of you want to make this into a Renfrow argument.   I'm a Renfrow fan.  Renfrow does not check the box of what a BY O needs either at the slot.  Renfrow just a niche roleplayer at this level.  it's easy to look up how horrific AT is with the ball in his hands and in terms of getting open.....and it's also easy to look up what a low ceiling of an offense the steady AT diet produces w/ BY.

      The one time he's actively tried to lose was the best we've ever done.

      I simply acknowledge BY is the QB.  And just like we did when we drafted him.....the type O you would need to setup around him for success was always pretty simple.  But we have done virtually the opposite.  XL dropping some passes isn't why we were ranked the 32nd O and 30th passing the past 2 years.  *Ricky Prohel was brought up only in regards to role function he served on the team.  Niche/specialist.   He wasn't eating up the snaps in the O.    AT should have a similar snap %. People could MAUL Ricky Prohel and put hands all over him.   We got to the Super Bowl in part because we were mauling guys (our slot CB).   You can't do that now.  AT has a MUCH easier life and still can't get open.  Or run.    If you live in 3 WR sets, with a weak armed QB, and you choose to put someone who can't get open or run in the slot.......well, your are going to have a weak pass O.  That's by design IMO.
