Releasing Smith had the opposite of the desired effects

[Sloth]

I don't know, if we had kept Smith and played him at Guard, Tackle and Defensive End, it may have been just enough to make us competitive out there today. It's definitely something to ponder.

I would've paid good money ($10), to see SS89 play DE for us.

I might have ponied up $20.

 

I'm a little tired of watching CJ gently fall to the ground 30 times a game.

With Big Money and his 7 sacks this year we are ready.... Wait how many sacks does he have?

I'm pretty sure we have a "Weekend at Bernie's" situation with CJ right now.

[FootballMaestro]

Our WR group is the best it's been in years. I don't see the problem.

 

True!

 

What's gets lost in the last two losses, are how well Cam and the receivers actually look.

 

So the problems the OC, and/or OL.

 

Simple (at least on the offensive side of the ball). Lol

[Jmac]

Yep..if we had kept him we would be 4 and 0 and on our way to 16 and 0,kick ass all through the playoffs and nail the SB.

Glad he is gone.

Seriously, it is time to slap Smitty on the ass and wish him well. And stop talking about him.

Every loss isn't because we cut Smitty and every win isn't because we cut Smitty.

Poo happens, and legends leave. Can't just sit here and dwell on it. Support who we are and not who we are not.

Does CJ have some kind of illness like Peppers apparently did in 2007?  It's really hard to understand how he's fallen so far so fast.

I think people underestimate how important and how good Greg Hardy is

[Kevin Greene]

to release players they feel are a longer-term, multi-facted detriment than can be outweighed by short-term, singular merit

 

And occasionally, mistakes are made.

And occasionally, mistakes are made. 

 

time will tell. i am under no illusions that it was a cut-and-dried, simple decision unladen on either side with uncertainty or perils.

 

i just want to win a couple of fuging games so we can collectively forget about all this

[beastson]

I find it interesting how Steve made Hardy an afterthought

 

Hardy better be back on the field in a few games

I wanna make a motion to write a script that automatically locks anymore steve smith threads the rest of the season
