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

[Carolina]

Cut bait with this dude. Has not shown his worth with the exception of one TD catch in ATL.

His snap counts so far don't tell us much.

I did some research on Torrey's snap counts, assuming I'd see a steady decline -- but not the case.

Game 1: 51 snaps (76%)

Game 2: 58 snaps (87%)

Game 3: 44 snaps (66%)

Game 4: 46 snaps (65%)

He's been on the field no less than 2/3 of the offensive snaps each game.  With the flashes that Samuel and Moore have shown, and the blatant lack of production from Smith, this has GOT to be reduced.  I don't buy the "veteran leader in the clubhouse" line.  We've got all the vets we need there.  Overdue time for the realization and acceptance that he's not panned out.

an injury , the hate i have towards rivera comes from him playing vets

The main question is when is Norve going to get him off the field. I believe Ron for the most part let’s Turner make decisions like that.

Hate is a pretty strong emotion, especially to have against a coach who's been successful in guiding what I assume is your home team.

Perhaps you meant to say you found things to be critical about with him?  Life is too sgort to allow hate.

Samuel continued health and growth of Moore.

[G spot]

Ron is still trying to figure out how to use timeouts properly.

[X-Clown]

@electro's horse needs to get his jaw warmed up and keep Torrey in the locker room on gameday. It’s the only way he will be off the field without injury.

Lets start a bribe pool, when it hits 100k wire the money to Ron with a request to bench his ass.

[Khaki Lackey]

"Bench Torrey" banner fly-over?

There's zero reason our starting WRs should not be Funch + Samuel + Moore (slot). Not going to find the old thread but I called this exact scenario back in the summer. Rivera would stubbornly be playing Torrey Smith and by week 4 we would all be clamoring for him to play the younger guys

Well, frankly, you didn't have to be Nostradamus to see that coming, you know.
