Jim Rome was talking about this yesterday and believes Smith will play fired up.

I wish what you wrote wasn't f^%$ing true

Is Rome still on the air? He is solely schtick over substance and that is why he cannot be successful in any one spot.

no and hell no

WTF is happening to me? I saw the Steve Smith thread bumped and for a second I was actually hoping that we'd signed him that punk to play the slot.

Am I selling out? Am I just desperate for a WR to replace Dance Moore?

Not a bad fit, the 'tude would fit biatch slapping Newton and company.
Yet, it could back fire.
Call it the Jennings effect.

(Smith would have Drew and Vikings did not have QB)

He's still on the air, but Gotlieb's show is better and he was not great at ESPN. NBC Sports radio is better of the big four.

You are neither. You recognize the man as one heck of a WR and you intuitively realize what a force he could be with a real QB like Drew - the first of his career potentially. You understand he was never the locker room issue that many would make him out to be and that it is okay to NOT be an angel.

Annnnnnnnnnd he's available.....

Why was he released? The "cap" reason doesn't hold water.

You don't cut a WR1 to save $3m in cap. Or to save $3m out of the owners pocket.

I do not buy the QB crap either.
Smith had one of his worst seasons in his career while Cam Newton had his best (Most TDs, highest Comp %, least INTs, best W/L)? Cam Newton is not good enough to tap Steve Smiths potential but good enough to make Greg Olson the 6th best TE in the league statistically?

You don't do that, UNLESS you are going in a different direction because that player isn't getting it done. EG. Cutting Beason for $8m in dead money.
