Gruden LOVES Steve Smith LOL

really if you watch dwill and smith highlight plays, they obviously are able to using amazing god given gifts on the field

dwill looked like jim brown (i think that's his name) at times last year, while i've seen smith on multiple occasions use a 40inch vertical on a stop/curl route to get a ball and i've seen him knock dbs down with one arm, break gang tackles, etc

they also both have tremendous speed. all this at 5'9". not bad at all. as for getting the highlight reel, the only other player that would be as electrifying would be Owens in his 49ers days, he used to have a lot of plays where he'd be in open space making juke moves. Moss's highlights are too many jump ball fly routes, he's great but he's 6'4 and it's not as spectacular as seeing a 5'9 guy do it.

he wasn't talking just receivers... he meant vs any player from any position of all time

Interviewing for a job maybe?

(also, it really isn't just panthers players.. every game Gruden does, he harps on and on about specific players it seems like.)

I was thinking about that as well. Gruden sees the talent we have and can't keep himself from gushing about our players. It reminds me of how much talent we really have on this team yet we started 0-3 and look extremely unprepared on game day. It is such a waste - IMO anyway.

Then he's crazy. He hasn't made one play that would crack Barry Sander's top 10 greatest plays.

Still, if he was saying receiver I won't argue. Smitty is sort of like the Barry Sanders of receivers. He is amazingly elusive (and surprisingly powerful and scrappy) and many of us will probably end up questioning how much better he would have been playing with a great QB...much like people always ask 'How good would Barry Sanders have been if he played on good teams and had a good line?"

    • His o loaded with swift, dj, Keenan and Rome was inconsistent at best. The d was bad. And the game management was atrocious and lost them games.  He was terrible and made the team worse. I wish they kept him
    • That is my point.  I think teams make a huge mistake when they pay their decent to average QBs top QB money because they feel that they have to match the market or lose their investment--There is no way, for example, that Tua or Prescott or Murray should all be making more than Mahomes--I mean, Dak makes $15m per season more than Mahomes. People say, "Well, when its his turn...." But that is not how it should be--so my point was that Bryce can be doing mediocre to good enough in 2 years, but the way it is going, you have to pay him at the starting QB rate--currently $60m.  So even if you think he will continue to improve, at $60 m, he would eliminate any chance for a ring---so my view is, if he is not elite, you cut him.  So you draft QBs now and see what you can make of them.
    • With two 4ths and three 5ths I’m hoping we can kill it on adding depth. Take a gamble with the two 7ths.  First 3 picks id love to address the defense. I expect Tuttle, Robinson, and Jewell to all be on the 2025 roster but not after that. Be a good time to add depth and let them develop a year.
