Smitty was an elite WR too.

 

Steve Smith is also 36 years old.

 

He is a below average FB. He is a pretty good RB.

 

Okay,so are you classifying him as a RB or a FB?

 

As a RB he's a damn good blocker for the position, and can also get his hands dirty in pounding the rock.

 

As a FB he's about average if you go solely off his blocking abilities, but blows about every other FB out the water with his running ability.

 

Tolbert is a unique player, and if not for him I'd wager we wouldn't have been anywhere near successful as we were in 2013.  Just think back to all the crucial 3rd and 4th down conversions he made when we made him a staple of the offense.  He also had some pretty highlight blocks that year.

I classify him as a RB forced to try to play FB solely on his girth. He has great feet for a guy his size but as far as a lead blocker, he isn't very good. I think back to the Buffalo game where he had 2 chances to pick up a first late in the game but we had to settle for a FG and a loss.

Hell he probably IS the best fullback in the league when healthy. He doesn't have a history of injury problems either... poo just happens sometimes.

Dude was as instrumental as anybody to our success in 2013. Plenty more plays than the ones above and he laid out some pretty big clutch blocks in crucial moments. That game winning TD pass to Hixon against the Saints for one. Tolbert chipped the LBer (or safety, can't remember) who had a free run right at Cam just enough to throw him off balance and let Cam get the pass off.

That last gif is the definition of Toldozing

      They gave him franchise QB money. Sorry but if you don't earn it you can be embarrassed.   He's rich he can take it. Stop feeling sorry for people who can't live up to their contract. This isn't a sport to be soft. Daniels deserves to give back some of that money he stole if you ask me.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      And it was coming off of a bye week. Perhaps he should vacation a bit in Germany in the off season, something certainly seemed to help him there.  No, really... He showed maturation and the possibility that he's turning a corner. That wasn't the NY Giants out there, but the back to back Super Bowl champions with the #3 defense in the league, with them coming off of a prime time loss. And that was a 9-1 team we just played literally down to the last second. Bryce played so well that maybe, maybe he wins over some nay-sayers. It's still early, though, but what a nice breath of fresh air that was. You can win quite a few games if that is your normal performance. It is obvious that we are still on the learning curve, though. But that was one helluva test he just took. Some of these QBs coming out of college just don't have a lot of games under their belts, especially in top end programs. They are perhaps just a year to two years behind center in games that matter before they move up. It can take them some time to hit their stride. We can still be cautious about our future and still celebrate a great game by the kid, though, and we should. He earned the laurels today, or had before they were snatched away at the last second.
