If you could watch the entire game from 89's eyes would you?

I ran across

where Chris Kluwie does punting practice with Google Glass.

 

I think it would be a great thing to be able to "tune in" a player while you're at the game and watch (and listen) while he's at work. Of course you would most likely have to go to the game since they would have to stream 22 (or more) players at the same time to get live access to all the "glasses" worn by the players.

 

Imagine seeing Smitty shake a CB for a last second TD in real time from his eyes and then que up Cam's cam to see what he saw when he let that one go. Perhaps listening to 89 trash talk Darrelle Revis would be just as entertaining.

 

For that kind of access I'd be in full "shut up and take my money" mode..

Cam or Luke would be most ideal IMO....I would think they would have the best vantage point for us.

 

Yea, for watching extended periods I'd agree with you.  For watching clips of highlights and big plays, I'd probably rather Smitty, Deangelo, Kraken, CJ.  They'd be more right in the middle of the big plays.  Watching Deangelo as he breaks off one of his big runs, stopping, cutting back, stiff arming guys, stuff like that would make for a few single play highlights a game.  Watching Luke's perspective for a whole game would be awesome though, can see exactly what he's looking for and how plays develop in front of him and how quickly he reacts.

Or Kraken's hit on Palmer last year, since he tackled him with his head up, facemask planted in his back (making it a perfectly legal hit) it would have made for an awesome perspective on that play.

 

I hate seeing players injured but Palmer completely brought that onto himself.  He held on to that ball for WAY too long and wasn't even remotely close to being in the pocket.  A shame we got flagged just because Palmer made the boneheaded decision to take the rest of the season off.

Smitty looking at Claussen in 2010. I would pay big bucks to watch him wilt under that stare.

Smitty looking at Fred Smoot?

Smitty looking at Deangelo Hall?

Smitty would probably lose some fans if they head him mic'd up in 2010.

I can't stand the football player Clausen....but Smith was the complete opposite of what you would want around a young QB who was thrown into the fire. He made things tougher

      I think taking T-Mac changes how to look at XL and the season he had, especially in retrospect. If you look at his rookie season from the viewpoint of "we traded into the 1st round to take him as our #1 WR of the future" then yea, he had a god awful rookie season and I'd be scared about his future.  But we've now drafted T-Mac, it allows us to now go back and look at XL's rookie season in a totally different light. XL was a late bloomer, essentially having only one college season of experience, he was always going to be VERY raw last year.  If we knew at the time that one year later, we'd have a true #1 and XL "only needs to be a future #2 and potentially doing it from a power slot position" then I'm not so sure he had all that bad of a rookie season. Because he still had 49 catches for 500 yards and 4 TDs, which really is a pretty darn good rookie season for a player as raw as XL was/is, especially when you consider the QB struggles we had last year, and even once Bryce turned things around a bit, we were still a run based team and Bryce's stats were anything but mind-blowing.   Personally, I think it's one of those situations where people are too focused on the negatives with XL and not seeing all the positives and potential he has given how raw he still is.  Which is where viewing him as a future #2 vs #1 makes all the difference in the world in looking back on his rookie season and projecting his future role/ability. If he's worked on his craft and cuts back on his drops, it's very reasonable to think he could be a 70 catch, 800 yards, and 5 TD type of player for us in year 3 when he's the #2 after Thielen is gone. How many teams have that type of talent as their #2 WR behind a guy putting up 1,200+ and 10 on a yearly basis as their #1 as I fully expect T-Mac to be doing? Then if Coker also improves slightly and is kicking in 600-700 yards himself, then you've built yourself a Top 5 WR room.

      Mel Kiper's long illustrious history would also indicate that neither does Mel Kiper. It's almost like this poo isn't an exact science or something and that there's a lot of different variables that go into whether or not a guy is successful. It's just that according to Mel Kiper, everyone else is an idiot and he's perfect. LOL

      Pats traded randy moss to aquire Ryan Mallett.  Insane. Guess Mel Kiper was right. NFL doesn't know how to evaluate quarterbacks
