Steve Smith on Gettleman's "Evaluation" comment


Johnny Rockets

Recommended Posts

Precisely! If he's not a good player at this point, teams wouldn't be devoting double teams to him - they'd be spreading it out among our other options or keeping someone to spy Cam. You don't just double-team a run-of-the-mill wideout, let alone one who is almost 35 years old.

 Some say he has a lost a step , yeah well he is still as quick as he ever was and that is what makes him a huge threat in the slot. He still has enough juice to pull away after the catch. Ginn and  say a Matthews on the outside , Smitty and Olsen in the middle.shore up the Oline and we are unstoppable.

That's the point, Smith stays it's his locker room. From what I understand the team wants the locker room to be Luke and Cam's.

It's not about just production, it's about Smith being a leader, who isn't always the best leader. Who's age has gone up while production has dipped.

 I don't buy that for a minute. the offense dipped as a whole and that can be attributed to oline play.SS is one year removed from a 1,000 yd season so one dip does not a trend make. As far as leadership you don't pick the leader he emerges and just is one.

He's a leader because of who he is and how long he's been here. From what you hear, he's not always the best of leaders. Cam and Luke are young, hard for them to take over when Smith is still here. His Age and production is still a factor. " increase in drops the last two seasons"

Smith Steve is a top 10 NFL WR. He is a decent man, and has been the face of this franchise for the better part of 10 years. There is no reason why he should be cut.

He's not a top ten NFL Wr anymore. Him continuing to be the face is the problem, team wants that to be Cam and Luke.

    • They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world. 
    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
