Torrey Smith looks great out there

[Saca312]

All honesty, with my huge lashing of him over the off-season, he’s looked great on the field.

No, he’s not a deep threat anymore. Let’s stop pretending he’ll create such on his own now because it hasn’t worked.

However, he’s been fine everywhere else and doing his role. Had a slow start, but has come to his own.

Plus, key reason we were able to nail it in on that last drive. He can be real clutch.

Once we stop pretending Torrey’s a deep threat and put Curtis as that sole option, then this offense will start clicking fine.

Torrey Forking Smith deserves A game ball, saved the last drive and had clutch catches.

again, all the Torrey haters and ME that lost faith can go eat some turkeys

Last two games, 4th quarters, Torry Smith has rocked, making the catches we need to keep us in the game.  We can argue whether or not someone else could have filled that role, but its a waste of time.  He's not going anywhere.  I hope he keeps playing at a high level.

Our entire receiving group has stepped up.  Funchess had some bad whiffs today but came around in the end.  Moore, Wright, Samuel were all effective.  Smith stepped up more than them all against his last team.  Good for the offense.

Funchess' drops could've easily cost us this game. Not sure what he'll officially be credited with, but you could argue that he dropped four passes today. That's just not acceptable.

Funchess is so infuriating because he has the ability to make big plays but then he drops the easy throws. And it's usually a bunch of drops in a short amount of time 

[LinvilleGorge]

Yep. A week ago I thought he had arguably his best game as a pro. The numbers weren't eye popping but made every play there was to be made including some really tough catches. Today he's dropping balls left and right.

[Panthera onca]

Funchess almost dropped his TD. He bobbled it twice before securing it. He makes me nervous.

[FugAllY'all]

He's basically filling Jerricho Cotchery's role from the 2015 team, which is just fine. He's a lot more dangerous than Cotchery though if teams just start ignoring him completely.

You mean the guy actually did his job? Bravo.

Smith has played well all season IMO, he was a scapegoat earlier, and I still don’t know if he’s not a deep threat or is it more of protection not holding up long enough. The magnifying glass should be on Funchess, up and down performance week in and out, and we in a very long time, have a log jam at WR,tough decision determining who should get reduced snaps and who should get more. Moore, Wright, and Samuel all are deserving of more snaps 

[Saha]

I was pretty impressed with him too today. Need to see that every game but I agree with the notion he might not being used correctly.

 

Funchess is so frustrating, his good plays are fantastic but he’s got some infuriating drops too. 

[JARROD]

Well he was 16.2 yards per receptions,.. that goes against what a lot of haters said.

i do say he’s had to morph his game, he’s not a downfield threat anymore, don’t know why— he’s an intermediate guy now— seems pretty sure handed and quick in that roll,..

he has the intermediate gear and hands, just doesn’t seem to have the deep gear anymore—

but hey, morph into a monster of an intermediate, and we should all be happy.
