Smitty has a bit of the Chris Simms complex. Became a personality, identified a mid rounder who became great (Kupp), and then ran on that juice for a while, as someone with that keen eye for talent. But over time, the hit rate adjusts and you see he's not the best at it by any means. And now they have a falsely built-up confidence in their evals and get all defensive about it. It's all good. I hope McMillan proves to be a top-WR in the league and shuts these knuckleheads up. Now it's time to get this team rev'd up for a big improvement year. -
Yards aren't really a good measure alone. He was one of the best QBs in the league in that stretch in most categories but yardage, heh. He definitely was not Burrows but he was pretty good. Averaged 210 yards passing, 20 yards rushing a game, plus 2 TDs a game. I'd like to see him continue to improve, but projected over a season those games were just under 4k combined yards (~3600 passing), 35 TDs, 13 TOs. Good for a starter, though not superstar-esque. His raw passing numbers would have been top 15ish, but he proved himself rushing so I don't think that should be ignored. For me personally I want to see the high level of play over a season. And he still sometimes has several series that are just total head scratchers - I'd like to avoid that, heh. May be play calling there too. -
Tepper hasn't changed, he's keeping his ego and bad decisions out of full public view. Dave's just making the same bad decisions largely behind closed doors. He's at least self aware enough to know he's not a fan favorite and that's why he's largely taken a back seat to media exposure. I serious doubt it was some inflection moment, epiphany, course correction or humbleness that Dave had come to realize.
