I don't know how much you watched steve smith play in the past but I have been watching since 2003 and smith clearly didn't have the same speed, jump, or physical play I am use to seeing in the past. He looked very average in the eye test.

 

Everybody gets old and their play drops off. Only 12 WRs 35 or older have made it to 1000 yds or more in a season which should tell you something. You don't have a rebound year to 1100 yds at this age. 

 

Don't forget about the shelf life of a player. RBs usually hit their wall at 30. Look at guys like LT, Shawn Alexander, Steven Jackson, Michael Turner, and many more RBs. They could have multiple pro bowls for several years and bam they just seemed to lose it all and are out in a year or 2.

 

I am happy that Steve could go on til 34-35  but this is bound to happen. You can't escape from the hands of time.  

 

He definitely seemed slower, but I just have a feeling he could have done more in a better system with someone relieving him of being the sole home run threat. I love Olsen (seriously, I'm in love), but he doesn't ever seem to be able to break enough tackles to be that threat. I think Smith could have had been a really good receiver in the slot for us.

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
