I for one won't be holding my breath.

Tre needs to be on the side of a milk carton.

Everyone dogs Smith. But he's out there because he does the jobs that Payton wants him to do.

Here's an example from the game. Kamara's TD run. Watch Smith come in motion and put on the kickout block that springs Kamara for the TD:

Alvin Kamara rushes for the td - YouTube

It's plays like this why he's out there. Folks expect him to be an all Pro when virtually on every play he's the 4th or 5th option out there. Even when a receiver is not the target, they need to generate the proper spacing and offer blocking. Tre is here because he does his job.

No one is dogging him. He needs to produce.

Tre has been in NO 3 years and runs sloppy routes, rarely gets separation and does not fight for the football. He has confidence issues and is inconsistent.

Smith needs to prove he can be that WR3 after Ginn moving on and the front office not drafting another WR.

He's only shown flashes but going into year 3 he needs to show up (1 catch 4 yards vs TB), cut the mental errors and not disappear for weeks at a time. Period.

I find his case confusing. If he isn't producing to the expectation of Payton and Carmichael, then why do they keep running him out there? Last season he played in 16 games and was in 50% or more of the offensive snaps in 15 of those 16 games. He was in for 65% of the snaps Sunday. So if he's sloppy and lazy and lacks confidence, then why is he such a big part of the offense?

At the end of the day it’s the receivers job to catch balls, especially a player taken where he was in the draft. Hes just not doing it with any consistency. He’s not out there to be a Brandon Coleman, he was drafted to be a legitimate receiving threat.

At this stage, I'd rather it be Sanders, Deonte and Bennie Fowler before Trequan sees the field.

He shows flashes of potential but it’s nowhere near consistent enough to have him start or resign him. I say let lil’jordan get in there and try.

Which means Payton will sign him to a 50 million dollar contract just like he did with Andrus Peat.

Lol, good god I hope not. I still have a wtf look on my face after that deal.

There isn’t really a next man up when the man being replaced is doing historical things. It’s going to be tough.
