Waiting for Smitty to grow up, loves punching down whenever he sees the chance. 

It's a symptom of his napoleon complex.

Smitty will not keep his job long dissing players like that.  These networks are promoting the product, not trashing it.  Not to say that you cannot have valid criticism, but base it on something tangible.

Smitty gets all the breaks.  When it rains, he is the last person to get wet.

Baker rides the coattail of great running game, good defense, he can't win you a game

I like the fact that he called out Mayfield...and hes prolly right. Mayfield making too many ***** commercials....get ur azz in the film room and be great...Hope Browns don't over pay for that little drama queen....but they don't have much choice... Stefanski , Mayfield and OC all have a part in not getting OBJ the ball. Wonder what they were seeing...

Smitty way wrong here…obj is a cancer to any team

I hate to say anything bad about Agent89, but that is a dick move.

Telling the truth as a former HOF caliber player as a sports commentator is a dick move...it's some soft ass ppl out here.

It's not being soft. Commentators and hopeful HOFers  say dick ish or do dick ish all the time, just like the rest of us. Nothing soft about calling out a dick moment. Get over it tough guy.

Yeah, that's the most disturbing part. You have some Panthers fans here who cheered 89 on plenty a day, and as soon as he left they immediately started talking poo about him, and continue to.

I'm not saying Smith is an alter boy, but people need to keep this sh¡t in perspective. Mayfield is being paid millions of dollars to be great, and wants millions more, but his play hasn't warranted elite level money. I wouldn't say he s been "bad", but he just hasn't been good on a consistent enough basis. But if Smitty thinks he's been "bad", so the fu<k what! Everyone has their opinion. Calling Mayfield out for his play is certainly not worth all the little snide, petty, and decidedly personal remarks against who is perhaps the best player in Panthers franchise history. Smitty didn't kill anyone here, he gave an opinion.

When a QB makes better commercials than his play on the football field, there is an issue.

I don’t think the argument is Baker doesn’t deserve legit criticism. 

but that isn’t what 89 was actually doing.   Again, 89 was talking about OBJ.   And if you want to talk about why OBJ was in Clev to begin with and is now out…..well that largely is a OBJ discussion.  Baker a side note.   But crickets from 89 actually on OBJ.

Baker is still on a rookie deal.  He actually isn’t being paid to be great right now.  OBJ is paid to be great.  Which he isn’t.  He isn’t a great NFL WR.  He is just a talented guy. 

and if it is all a Baker problem, why is it just OBJ that stands out as not working?  Goes back IMO to why he ended up Clev to begin with 

[ForJimmy]

The commercials aren’t an issue. It’s like a hour or two of recording for one day probably in the offseason. Most young players will pounce on an opportunity for that kind of cash for so little work. Baker struggled when he had a bad line and coaching staff. They fixed both the offseason before last and he has been solid since. Their new coach likes a run first offense and they have a stable of running backs. That hurts players like OBJ that are deep threats.
