Steve Smith....Hemad?

Sorry if someone already made a thread about this. If so feel free to delete/lock/merge or whatever.

Is anyone else concerned with how upset Steve as been getting when he doesn't get the ball? There were a few times this game where he really looked pissed off at a badly thrown ball, and there was that one long pass that Fox made the huge mistake of turning the long range mic on him for. "Throw the F'ing ball" were the first words out of his mouth among some other unsavory words. Think its an issue or just steve being steve?

PS: Although Byron Bell got beasted by bowers most of the game, I think its worth noting that he finally didnt have a facemasking penalty AND a holding penalty this game. Party for Byron Bell!!!

:party:

He really wanted to get the 10,000 yard monkey off his back this week. As we saw in the article about it last week-it really means a lot to him. I think he just wanted to get it over and done with, and I don't blame him for being frustrated when he was getting opportunities but Cam just couldn't seem to connect with him on them.

He's been mad for 11 years so I don't know why anyone would be concerned now all of a sudden. As a WR he doesn't see why the throws are bad. He was wide open twice and both times pressure caused poor throws. He isn't going to be mad at Cam especially after he sees the tape. This is just how Steve plays the game.

Just don't want his and Steve's relationship to become strained. Need them both out there performing.

he yelled "fuuuuug!" the first time after missing it.

then he turned back around and yelled "thats just fuggin WRONG!!!" upset that he was wide open and would've had a 50+ yard TD and broken the record.

thats what it sounded like to me.

I heard "F*CK! THROW THE F*CKING BALL!!!"

Not a concern. Smitty's competitive and teams have been keying on him again after his huge start to the season. He's got more than a few TDs and yards coming in these last few games and he and Cam will live happily ever after. No biggie.

    • Yeah, I am not giving up on him yet but I do think we need to see a pretty big step up this season to be convinced he is a long term solution. It is a shame that his development seemed to be stunted in 2023. 
    • To put the question simply: Would you be happy with a Steelers trade that doesn't bring back their first-round pick next year? A potential trade between us and Pittsburgh is interesting because depending on which draft value chart you use, Pittsburgh has two totally natural trades available to them, but they're very different. The Jimmy Johnson chart says the difference between us at 8 and them at 21 is 600 points, or almost exactly the value of the last pick in the 1st round. That falls in line with how teams tend to discount future picks. 8 for 21 and next year's Pitt 1st is almost exactly equal. More modern charts (Chase Stuart, Fitz) are much flatter, and 8 for 21 and 83, Pittsburgh's next pick this year, are basically equal.  Now, the second one obviously won't actually happen--the Lions had to include pick 73 just to move from 29 to 24 last year, and Pittsburgh would clearly be making a much bigger jump. But given the flatness of this draft and the lack of blue-chip players at the top, would you accept some mix of 21, 83, and next year's non-first-rounders from Pittsburgh, or would you want Dan Morgan barred from every touching the draft again for accepting anything less than next year's first?
    • just ask XL, to date he is has never been wrong about what we are doing w/ our first pick
