You seem to be making Smith the scapegoat. He wasn't the sole reason we lost. Obviously a fumble for a TD doesnt help. Porr throws by Fitz. Key drops by all WR during the game. The D looking pourous at times (although overall a solid performance) Terrible play calling. We deserved to lose. We are MAYBE an average team.
It would have saved a lot of pain, he rode the coat tails of our defense. His (positive) affect on the team was minimal at best.
Typical over reaction BS. He made a crucial mistake......on his first punt return. It's not Like he was brought in because of his demonstrated punt return skills. You can see the kid has some great catching skills but is raw as hell. The notion of releasing him is idiotic, perhaps as crazy as thinking you could make a better GM.
Seems pretty solid fundamentally to me. Head up, ball in crux of arm held by point, falling forward, trying to maintain balance using free hand. What is so fundamentally flawed about this technique that he needs to be cut?
Frankly, I could care less if you apologize or not. I don't take anything on a message board personal. If it makes YOU feel good to call John Madden and myself "idiotic," so be it. If you want to respond further, go ahead--You can have the last word.
