Steve Smith 2013 Stats

Recommended Posts

I know it has only been 2 games and that is a very small sample but the numbers for Steve thus far are troubling.

 

Through 2 games, he has a career worst 9.4 YPC. His 51.5 YPG are his second lowest as a full time starter since the 2010 debacle. At that clip, he is on pace for 824 total yards. 

 

What can you make out of those numbers? Either Steve is declining or Shula does not know how to utilize Steve and his strengths. Granted most of us wished he move to the slot but Shula with his short routes do not play to Steve's play making ability.

 

Shula is calling plays designed more for players in the mold of Wes Welker as opposed to the like of Victor Cruz. Granted Cam has missed Steve on a couple long ones and Steve has lost a step but the 5 yard speed outs and dinky dunk hitch routes are not using the weapons you have to their full potential.

 

#89 is the only WR worth a damn on the roster and he is being used on dinky dunk crap routes.

 

On a positive note, Steve is #23 on the all time receiving list at 11,555 yards. Assuming he can squeeze another 800 yards in there (1,000 for the season), he will move to #17 all time moving past Jimmy Smith, Charlie Joiner, Hines Ward, Derek Mason, Michael Irvin and Don Maynard.

 

Slightly negative note.....Andre Johnson is on his tail and will more than likely pass him up this year with 11,476 yards.

 

Have a great day!

    • 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
