STEVE SMITH
 
For some reason... I keep thinking he is going to end up a Saint...

*Vomits*..... Yuck. Even the thought of that leaves a horrible taste in my mouth.

He's a twerp, but he has given us fits for years. A little bit of his attitude might not be a bad thing for our offense.

It's bad but I've been having the same thoughts. Don't know why.

Well Sean seems to like him, if they think he can help the Saints win then I'm all for it besides the offense hasn't had swagger since Shockey left

How about Sanantonio Holmes ?

Re: STEVE SMITH
 
Keep him in the slot, small, agile and quick and does fight for extra yards. Attitude is absolute s@$t though

Sign him to a 1-year, $2 million dollar contract. Introduce him to the team. Have Cam Jordan punch him square in the teeth. Then cut his ass.

Dead money hit? Totally worth it.

I personally don't care who he played for or how bad his attitude is, so long as he's not a locker room cancer.

If he can help us win games and win another Superbowl, I'm all for it and will gladly embrace him as a fan.

I have a lot of people I like very much, wouldn't want them working for me.

Shockey and Turley were alphas with stainless balls, Steve Smith is a punk.

John Wayne is the only man to ever have swagger.

I'd welcome that 'punk' into the Black & Gold with wide open arms.

And I'm not kidding.

CharityMike 03-12-2014 05:05 PM

Re: STEVE SMITH
 
I read that his agent stated he will not play for Carolina this year. He also said that SS wants to play the slot receiver role.

He would be a great fit for us, especially in the slot! The guy may be bit of a punk but he can still play and has good hands. I would welcome him with open arms to the B & G!

Ive learned not to question. If its good for the team and we can afford it it will be done.

nycsaintfan 03-12-2014 05:42 PM

Re: STEVE SMITH
 
I certainly think we need more receivers that can make plays down field. But I am concerned about our line. It does not matter who we have at the skill sets, if Drew does not have time to throw the ball it won't matter.

I don't mind Steve Smith on the Saints. But as its been said, as long as he is not a cancer in the locker room. Lots of veterans who might have been voices of reason are gone.

Id love to have him here.Sean likes him and he has respect for Sean.

Euphoria 03-12-2014 06:18 PM

Re: STEVE SMITH
 
I keep recalling an after game conversation Smith and Payton had after a game. It seemed Payton was giving him a lot of love during it.

My second feeling is he is going to have a major chip on his shoulder if cut by the panthers.

Look he's a punk because he played for a rival... he won't be racking up yac and TD's.

We get a year out of him and also a lot of leadership on the WR side of the house with possibility of drafting a young WR as well. I am digging this move.

SmashMouth 03-12-2014 06:50 PM

Re: STEVE SMITH
 
Did we sign him yet?

He's a punk because he is a punk..... I don't see Gonzo, or Lynch as punks... Steve Jackson either.

I'm quite possibly the biggest Steve Smith hater in the world. For many reasons.

Dude makes my blood boil.

That said, he provides value at the right price - when HEALTHY.

I don't think there's much to what's been made of Sean's "appreciation" of Smith so i doubt he lands in New Orleans.

BUT - he'd be a solid 1-2 year slot guy.

Luda34 03-12-2014 09:58 PM

Re: STEVE SMITH
 
Y'all crazy I would cut Colston for Smith and keep Sproles. Colston who I'm a big fan of his salary is bigger and Smith is a bigger impact on offense than is Colston.

It's not Colston's fault he's got an unselfish attitude and Drew just wants hear the point guard alley-oop power forward comments on sportscenter and is unable to read his other receivers till Payton has to tell Drew to quit staring his mancrush on JG down on every play he's passing...

Wha.....?

Let me get this straight, you want to cut Colston for a guy who is going to be 35 years old when the season starts and didn't even have 800 yards last year despite being his team's only real receiving option? And who's leaving Carolina because their GM sees him as a distraction? And you think everybody else is crazy????

Yeah if he's going to help the team hell yeah. Let's get these straight I love Colston but are really going say that you wouldn't Smith over Colston than your just a hater because he beat the Saints over the years. That guy is a better player than Colston all Colston have over him is high. I don't care that he's 35 he's faster and will have more of a impact on this team then Colston. Stop hating because he burnt the Saints over the years.

And age, and lower salary, and a better attitude, and is proven... You sign Smith at the age of 35 and get at the most 2 years from him and will have to over-pay because he will be looking for his last pay-day... And on top of that, you can't be sure how he will perform once he gets that pay-day(locker-room cancer)...

Y'all are flat out tripping ... Smith is one of the greatest receivers of the last decade or more ! Colstons good but you'll never mistake him for an elite receiver.

Our pass catchers and smith are cut from two very different cloths. Our Recivers depend on Drew beating coverage with laser accurate throws which is why they're non existent to a team with decent dbs. Because there is no seperation.

Smith Beats coverage in his sleep ... Oh and Smith managed to do something not even Jimmy could do ... Beat Richard Sherman again and again !

Like I said we sign him and in 2 weeks he's easily our best Receiver and if we drafted Cooks or OBJ that's who I would want to rub off on them for years to come.

He fits what we need in the slot as a guy who can definitively beat the oppositions best corner

He fits what style we are transitioning to , physical grind it out smash mouth football.

His attitude is perfect for what we are transforming the offense into. Play with a chip on your shoulder

Well that would kill us more thn anything else
Cutting Colston saves a whole $1.8ml

Colston was drafted in 2006 since then:

Colston 64% catch percentage 63 touchdowns 435 first downs.
Smith 56% catch percentage 45 touchdowns 366 first downs.

Smith does have 100 more yards but it took 90 more targets to get there.

PFF Wide receiver ratings have Colston over Smith 5 of the 7 years that they've been ranking.

Smith doesn't play out of the Slot much and Colston's been one of the top slot receivers in the league over the last 5 years.

I'd take Colston over Smith every day of the week.

Course, I may just be tripping. :)

jnormand 03-13-2014 03:34 AM

Re: STEVE SMITH
 
I'm not "hating." I just hate SS because he's a mouthy show off reciever who acts like a damn child. No thanks. I'd rather the receiver who gets up every day and wants to play. Not the guy throwing a fit on the sideline because he "ain't getting the ball."

Ick. The thought makes me sick. And I have no idea why anyone would want him over Colston.

Who's trippin? Not me.

Hell let's give Terrell Owens a shot while we're at it.

NO THANKS.

cap issues aside that would take all season to try to get use too. even then i may not get there, Cheering for steve smith is hard enough to type much less do.

Mr. Utah has iced this cake quite nicely.

As pointed out, it's "trippin", not "tripping", one is done with your luggage and the other with your favorite paper or shroom.

Fist bump me?
