Rivera says Steve Smith no longer a deep threat.

[Pox 08]

Not sure why ONE play against the 9ers is being brought up so much to describe how amazing SS89 still is.

 

 

Ginn rocked Revis out of his shoes, on ONE play,   and Revis has contained several #1 WRs during his career.  It doesn't mean that Ginn is a #1 WR or even a #2 WR..  despite him beating up on one of the best corners in the game.

There's a line from one of Voth's articles that says it all. 

 

"Smith was neither young nor someone they believed they could depend on to help develop younger guys."

well the playoffs is where you want your guys to show up. Smitty showed up. The promising young secondary did not show up, the super front 7 was neutralized and showed our weakness on D and the niners shutdown the Off pretty handily.the payoffs is when you want your guys to step up.

Think the guy in the lime vest needs to be on our OLine, just sayin...

Joe flacco won't be upright long enough with his oline.

 

The Ravens offensive line was a mess in 2013, and Jah Reid didn't do much to help it. They allowed 48 sacks, which was tied with the  Buffalo Bills for the fourth-most allowed in the NFL in 2013.

Explosive plays make you highlight reels.  They make you oooh and ahh.  But, as a Bills fan I look at it with the term the CJ Spiller factor.  CJ Spiller is considered one of the leagues most explosive backs and one of the best backs.  Yet, when you look at his stat line it reads something like this for attempts:  2 yards, -3 yards, 6 yards, 3 yards, -5 yards, 4 yards, 41 yards, -2 yards.

 

I am not a rocket surgeon so I can't add all of that up but I can tell you that for over half of the plays that CJ Spiller is in that he does not make an impact to the game whatsoever.  Futher he cannot block to save his life.  He has other issues - high ankle sprain that hindered him last year - and ability finding holes running up the middle that are concerning.

 

CJ Spiller is the epitome of the direction the NFL is headed with the fascination on the big play.  You have guys like Danny Amendola, Percy Harvin, RGIII and others who fit the same boat.  They make you some amazing plays but they are lackluster for most of the game.

 

Explosive plays can change the game but banking on them to change a game is futile.  The NFL is too evenly matched between the good players and the bad players.  Sure, there are teams like Denver, Seattle, New Orleans, New England and Green Bay that have all star talent but on every one of those teams their weakest link is not much better then any opposing team.  Parity is as close as ever in the NFL and it is coaching that has been making a different the last few years as the league changes its tone to become faster and leaner league.

 

It is mostly a personal belief that I'd rather have consistent licks layed in to the wood that knock out a little bit every time then have a sledge drop and split the thing open ever 10th try.

 

no

 

 

edit: holy poo i stopped reading after the first bolded part. then i saw this 2nd bolded gem.

Bottom line he he is gone.......we should wish him well ...and move on

[Kevin Greene]

Harbaugh also thought Flacco was a $120M franchise QB....and he was wrong.

 

Have you seen the Raven's level of success since Harbaugh and Flacco arrived in Baltimore?

Harbaugh and Flacco are easily top 10 at their respective professions.

In all Peyton Manning's time in Indianapolis he had 9 Playoff wins total and one Super Bowl ring.

Flacco matched that in 5 years.

True dat, show a little class Panther FO.

[Cpt slay a ho]

i don't know why this is a argument about smith stats..............stats are for losers

 

there a numerous reasons why his stats were not higher the top being:

 

1.Injury, missed 2 and a half games

 

2.Him having 100 yds was not the formula for winning, eat clock and play defense, then before the 49ers game most teams got blown out anyway.

 

3. Cam Spreading the ball, its funny most of you bitched and moaned about how cam always locked on to smith then he supposedly stops and now you bitch about how smith is over the hill

 

with that being said his stats don't do justice to the impact he had on the field............
