Right, the only reason I had to think twice about immediately cutting was because the dude who showed up in the playoffs was the guy who we were all hoping he could be before the season started. He dropped so many easy deep balls during the regular season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

808 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 @Eagles $5$ absolutely. He helped to bring a Lombardi to the Eagles, so those drops don’t mean crap to me. He was a great teammate and locker room guy, and an outspoken person in the community. Wish him all the best moving forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He dropped so many easy deep balls during the regular season. He dropped passes in the postseason too. He is lazy and flat out sucked last year. I couldn't care less if he does well next year on another team. In fact, I'm very confident he won't do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes you say he's lazy? Do you know his regiment, his dedication to his craft? Flat out sucks? Yeah I'll give it to you on that. I only recall maybe a single drop in the post season, but feel free to prove me wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a few, I could be wrong. But he is lazy in the fact that he gave up on routes and I just don't think he would give full effort. I remember he wouldn't dive on loose balls and stuff like that. It is nothing new for him though, he did the same stuff in SF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

808 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Smith was indeed straight booty this year. No denying that. His personal lows were consistent and far outweighed his personal highs. He even tweeted about it, mentioning he guaranteed he would bounce back. He ends up catching a TD bomb vs Arz (or Den maybe) the next week. He underperformed his contract, especially as a starter who played a big number of snaps. However, he did help to change an Eagles WR position that was in shambles just the season before. Sure, as a low end #2 he was replaceable. But what he contributed helped to bring a championship home. That flea flicker catch, albeit one of maybe two or three highlights of his all season, will go down in Eagles history forever. I think we expected him to take the top off of every defense, and it was apparent early this season that wouldn’t be the case. It is what it is, but put some respect on his name.

ninjapirate Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Torrey did play much better with Nick but the problem is Carson is our QB. So bye torrey. Thanks for showing up in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mm6492 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Nice to get a CB with some starting experience on a rookie deal for a guy we were gonna cut. Gives us some depth in camp and wouldn't cost us if we cut him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
