No thanks I got 10 hours of Steve Smith hyping Bryce young videos from last spring. 

I'm a big 89 fan but you got this right. I can separate the player from the evaluator. Yes he was one of the few that had Kupp on his draft list at that time. And he spoke highly of DJ Moore. But the Bryce Young love tour and speaking of DJ Moore as if he were an afterthought with the current results becoming more and more clear for both players says short of some basic input here and there we don't need him making picks by any means.

If you thought Gettleman was a jerk then you've never met Steve Smith. I have met him twice, great player, POS personality. Agents would play him like a fiddle with his emotions

This is valid.

People complained about our GM not having good interpersonal skills. Now we want Steve Smith? 😳

I met him in the gym one afternoon years ago in the offseason. He didn't really have attitude but also seemed pretty shy. It was a conversation in passing at the front desk so there was not much depth to it. How did your interactions go?

I've met him twice, once at Charlotte City Club and once on a flight sitting next to him (last year or the year before for TNF against the Texans). At Charlotte City Club at the bar I said hello and that his abscence is still felt on the team (he was with the Ravens at the time) and you'd think I ran over the guys cat with him saying this is a members bar and not a fan club in essence. No $hit sherlock, I am a member there as well.

 

In the flight my boys were excited to be sitting near him and wanted to ask him football questions, he tuned them out, again I don't care because I don't put athletes on pedestals but he was a jerk to them. 

 

I've only been starstruck twice in my life around athletes, having dinner with Muhammad Ali in a mosque in WV when a child, meeting MJ at the upper floor of Chima and having a brief conversation together about Lake Norman of all things (he had just recently bought a home in LKN and I told him that I see that home across from mine on the lake when I lived there at the time)

It's a shame Steve had to show some attitude each time especially to the kids. That's a real bummer to hear of him blowing off kids and not answering a couple questions to make their day and their eyes light up since of course they obviously were fans of his. I realize a well known athlete likes their alone time and quiet time but it's a trade off being a well known NFL player and also something one would think to practice good manners at least for the kids. 

Even your comment to him that he was most definitely missed could have followed by simply saying "thank you" and moving on. It took more effort to basically tell you it's a private club and not for fans than to just say thanks and move on. I must have caught him in a rare good mood for him to even say something back when I made small talk for a brief second.

      We looked like a competent NFL team PIE thread

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
