So What Is It Going to Take to Get Torrey Smith Off the Field?

[Hoenheim]

• This dude is catching 44 percent of his targets  (Lower than any of Ginns percentages while here while Torrey not even remotely a deep threat than Ginn was)
• Went CATCHLESS the last game despite playing 65% of snaps
• Constantly on the field despite drops, mishaps, and averaging less than 20 yards receiving PER GAME
• DJ Moore constantly turns the vast majority of his targets into a gold mine of broken tackles and YAC while catching 75% of targets
• In one game coming off heart surgery Samuel managed to get over half Torrey's yards and equal his TD total for the season in very limited snaps

What in the world is the excuse? There's nothing but evidence everywhere this dude is not contributing and stifling better talent

At least Funchess is solid and has a defined role as big guy chain mover. DJ and Samuel are the perfect YAC monster compliments to Funchess and Torrey is holding us the hell back

[RumHam]

Maybe the plan is to incorporate deep routes. Maybe Cam's missing something. Who knows. DJ has 75% screen passes so he better catch those.

An injury

[ncfan]

As bad as it sounds 

 

Its honestly going to take an injury.

 

Forcing Rivera's hand is the only way your ever going to get the top players on the field.  Thats just how it has been under Rivera's time here.  Just too much loyalty for his vets

Lets not forget his blocking, it is horrid

The dude has been Nothing more than Russell Shepard last year.  The big argument last year was whatbit was going to take to put in Byrd over Shepard, consindering how good he looked in camp and preseaso .  It took a injury to Shepard for them to play Byrd at the end of last year.  When he got in, he flashed prior to getting injured

But he’s an amazing coach because we’re 3-1, and no one should dare mention he may not be the best HC or a good fit to lead the talent we have, right?  Did I nail the talking points?  By the way - not arguing your post, just tagging on my own sarcastic vitriol.

This. None of us want to wish injury on any of our guys, but historically it's been pretty much the only thing that has made Rivera move on from an ineffective vet.

 I apologize in advance....

Broken bone

concussion 

dress code violation

or maybe he quits at halftime

[Manna]

I feel bad as a human being, but I secretly rejoiced after seeing Smith limp off the field after a block as I knew it would force Ron to play #12 more.

Itll take 3 series ruined by him back to back to back. 

 

Your typical catch and fumble for the first drive, then a wide open missed catch that pops up and is intercepted the second drive, then a 60 yard bomb for a should be TD but he trips over himself at the 2 yard line and fumbles. 

 

Then...and only then..will he be benched outside of injury.

Amini and Torrey should take up some new hobbies. Maybe motorcycle jumping or downhill skiing, something fun.

You know the answer already...

Injury.

[Qu1million]

Samuel just had a heart operation, they are brining him in slowly and Moore is a rookie still learning.  Everybody in panic mode for no reason.
