Rivera says Cam wasn't consulted in WR moves

I don't know how much you watched steve smith play in the past but I have been watching since 2003 and smith clearly didn't have the same speed, jump, or physical play I am use to seeing in the past. He looked very average in the eye test.

 

Everybody gets old and their play drops off. Only 12 WRs 35 or older have made it to 1000 yds or more in a season which should tell you something. You don't have a rebound year to 1100 yds at this age. 

 

Don't forget about the shelf life of a player. RBs usually hit their wall at 30. Look at guys like LT, Shawn Alexander, Steven Jackson, Michael Turner, and many more RBs. They could have multiple pro bowls for several years and bam they just seemed to lose it all and are out in a year or 2.

 

I am happy that Steve could go on til 34-35  but this is bound to happen. You can't escape from the hands of time.  

 

He definitely seemed slower, but I just have a feeling he could have done more in a better system with someone relieving him of being the sole home run threat. I love Olsen (seriously, I'm in love), but he doesn't ever seem to be able to break enough tackles to be that threat. I think Smith could have had been a really good receiver in the slot for us.

Wow.. so the qb that you will be attempting to sign to a multi-year deal in the near future was not even aware of the moves being made...
