That's what I have been trying to tell myself for a while now.

There's no one in the NFL today even 50 percent of what Steve was in his prime. He's one of the only players I've ever seen that just would destroy the spirit of the defense in real time.

Legit Hall of Famer

He's no Steve Smith but he does play the game very similar to 89. I was watching the game vs Det and im like man there were glimpses that reminded me of 89. The way he holds the ball with one hand breaking tackles after catches. No one is saying he's 89, but his game does emulates it.

More than a few Huddlers---arguably smart football guys---used to downplay the talents of Doug Baldwin and Golden Tate. I used to always say that Bladwin and Golden Tate were ballers. They are tough, smart, superb route runners, and have good hands. It's a bit of a stretch to compare any receiver to Steve Smith, but both Baldwin and Tate have been likened to him at different times in their careers. That's a high compliment, and a testament to their games.

There is only one 89, but Baldwin and Tate are receivers that you absolutely want on your team though.

There's only one Smitty. He created a new template for a receiver that players want to emulate.

Some are fast. Some are brave. Some will fight you. Some will run precise routes. Some will give their all to compete for every ball thrown their way. Some have attitude.

None have it all. Except for him.

    • I don't really like the phrase, "moral victory". I get what's meant by it, but does that mean that if you do the opposite (play poorly but win) it's an immoral victory? 🤔
    • I blame Evero because he is overrated. Vance Joseph created the defense in Denver that he took credit for. Wilks ran the ball down his throat and Darnold had a 103.8 rtg.  Last year we were decent in yards allowed, and horrible in everything else. Only reason? We kept giving up good field position.  He's had his choice of players to bring in since his scheme is so "complicated." Maybe he should stop trying to be so fancy like running Cover 4 on 3rd and 1 earlier and focus on fundamentals like tackling. These years of Eric Washington, Phil Snow, and Evero must have gotten you confused on what a real defense looked like. Go back and watch the McDermott and Wilks years- this dude is sofT.
    • I tried to make it a point in the opening post that I don't think the offense is a finished product. I think we still need more talent at WR, better play calling, catch more consistently, elimate ridiculous penalties,  and be more consistency in scoring points. I'm just saying, they look markedly better than last year imo. They have scored 20 or more in 6 games and 30 or more in 2 games. And that's particularly notable considering they only mustered 10 points and 3 points in first 2 games of this year and they got blanked on 0 points two games in a row to wrap up last season . I'd say that's a market improvement.  I'm not crowning them and saying we have a top 10 offense or anything.  I'm comparing them to themselves in recent history.
