Sad Trend: Steve Smith Hinders Our Offense.

Ok, let me be clear with this before you idiots' heads explode. Steve Smith is the greateset panther to ever play and one of the best WRs to ever play the game. Yes he STILL is our best option...

 

But..

 

The game against Arizona got me thinking a lot over the passed 20 or so hours. First and foremost, the lack of progression in the play calling hurts our offense the most. Its like we are calling plays we have no matter what with no adjustment to defensive looks or trends. The offensive line being unable to protect fuels this fire. Now on to Smitty...

 

Steve Smith, 34, has obviously lost his step he once had, and it seems hes more reluctant to go up and get a ball if its not thrown in the right spot. In otherwords, hes making Cam do all the work when last year and 2 years ago, you saw him going up and snagging the ball like weve seen him do his whole career. I realize that there is less designed plays that would call for that situation, but when it does arise, you can tell something is off with Smitty. Why i think he hinders our offense is because he still demands touches like he is the same player he was in his prime. This is forcing the offense and cam to force throws/plays just to "keep him happy".

 

I get that we have no better option, but this is a big eye opener into just how important it is to have a face of the franchise type of WR.

 

I love me some Smitty, i love his tenacity, i love his passion for the game, and i still love what he brings to the table, its just time to start looking at this in a realistic light. Hes at a point in his career when he should be a slot receiver with two better/younger outside receivers.

 

 

 

What once was.

steve smith doesn't hinder our offense, lack of other productive receivers hinders our offense and lack of an offensive line that can give guys time to get open hinders our offense and the lack of a coaching staff that is qualified to coaching something other than punters and independence high hinders our offense.

Im reallllllly getting tired of him acting like he fuging made the most amazing play in the world after he makes a 5 yard play, after he dropped two key passes already. His act after every single little catch is getting really old.

If we were winning we would love it. He's been doing it for his entire career. 

 

How do you feel about Cam's first down celebration?

 

Honest question. It is starting to wear on me.

Ditto...  It started bugging me probably 10 years ago !  He was probably planning his touchdown dance instead of catchin' the damn ball !

      This is an important point.  When you let the offense choose the matchup so easily you are only hurting yourself.  At least make them work to get the matchup they want.

      This is incredibly dishonest, and you know it. We didn't cherry-pick a "small amount of deep throws late in the year." We reviewed every one of Bryce's deep throws using the NFL's own film and data via NFL Pro. The analysis was thorough, transparent, and contextualized with game film. Dismissing that as cherry-picking is not only incredibly disingenuous, it is textbook gaslighting as well. Let's walk through the actual data: Top-10 in deep ball accuracy Top-5 in short-range accuracy Bottom-10 in intermediate accuracy (not ideal, but not "league worst" either) If you're going to lean on the "no pressure" qualifier again, his deep passing under pressure was covered. So no... it wasn't cherry-picked. Look, you don't have to believe in Bryce. That's your right... but misrepresenting clear, consistent evidence crosses the line from skepticism into willful intellectual dishonesty.

      big picture though, that largely sounds like a horrible idea to go about things.  Not saying I think they did that.  Think the illusion of that is largely just PRish of presenting a image of things working out well.  But yeah, you don't want your WR influencing who you draft at TE.  Players are going to be bringing crazy bias into the equation and a 23 year old struggling QB shouldn't be making your top 10 pick.
