I'd like to see these two in a skills competition..... send them both down the field and throw up a "hail mary" and see which one comes down with it!!! Wow, they have to be the two best frisbee catchers in the league.. It would be worth the price of admission.

You may be right, but I'd never bet against Smitty on anything... he's just way too savy... Not sure how he does it, but he always does... Imagine having Smitty on one side and Fitz on the other.... How would you stop that?

My money would be on Fitz, Smitty is great but Fitz just is a freak.

In terms of ball skills, Fitzgerald is the best in the league, better than Randy Moss too. He catches with his hands more than anyone.

I love Smith's explosiveness everywhere on the field though, he isn't like other receivers who are effective down the field but not too short, Smith's effectiveness is the same everywhere he goes

Yeah he's more physical than Moss, and has unreal body control as well. I love to watch him. I would say he and Smitty are 1 and 1a, with Fitz maybe having a slight edge solely due to his height which certainly is no fault of Smitty's.

Was interesting to hear Key praising Fitz for that "throw into double coverage" without criticizing Warner. :)

Man, I like Moose, but that would be awsome.

You know, on the Panthers Huddle last night, they broke down that play in New Orleans where Jake supposedly threw it into double coverage to Smitty. It turns out that Smitty actually had seperation when Jake threw that ball, but because he was about to get nailed, he couldn't get enough on the ball and it hung up long enough for the defenders to get there.

They showed it on the game tape, where you can see everything on the field instead of just either the QB or the WR like you see on TV.

I'd take Smitty even if it was playing marbles, tiddlywinks, or knitting cause they guy is just a competitor....plain and simple.

He has the heart, drive and desire to be a winner, and he will always come out on top in my book.

NUFF said. :cheers2:

Smith Demands more Coverage in games and I've never seen Fitz catch a ball sitting down. No one extends like Smith and attacks the ball IMO and as good as Fitz is he still dose not demand the respect Smith dose. I think people just expect Smith now to do what other WRs do with single coverage because he has been doubled for so many seasons now. IMO Moss and Smith are still the best WRs in the game because of how you have to play them but Fitz is a close second and has had a great season this year.

      Bears fire Matt Eberfus

      His o loaded with swift, dj, Keenan and Rome was inconsistent at best. The d was bad. And the game management was atrocious and lost them games.  He was terrible and made the team worse. I wish they kept him

      That is my point.  I think teams make a huge mistake when they pay their decent to average QBs top QB money because they feel that they have to match the market or lose their investment--There is no way, for example, that Tua or Prescott or Murray should all be making more than Mahomes--I mean, Dak makes $15m per season more than Mahomes. People say, "Well, when its his turn...." But that is not how it should be--so my point was that Bryce can be doing mediocre to good enough in 2 years, but the way it is going, you have to pay him at the starting QB rate--currently $60m.  So even if you think he will continue to improve, at $60 m, he would eliminate any chance for a ring---so my view is, if he is not elite, you cut him.  So you draft QBs now and see what you can make of them.

      With two 4ths and three 5ths I’m hoping we can kill it on adding depth. Take a gamble with the two 7ths.  First 3 picks id love to address the defense. I expect Tuttle, Robinson, and Jewell to all be on the 2025 roster but not after that. Be a good time to add depth and let them develop a year.
