If we are being honest about it, DeVonta Smith is going to establish himself as the best WR in the league within the next 3 years.

"Really good" isn't the point of the thread. "Best WR in the league" is the claim.

No one would have had an issue with a claim that he would be really good. In fact, many here would agree with that. It was the dogged insistence of the OP that Smith is the greatest WR ever before even playing a single down that brought on the backlash. Just being even semi reasonable regarding the subject would have avoided all of this. But he is prone to this behavior (see his recent thread on how the Eagles' punter is the greatest ever for another example of his weird, over the top homerism).

My prediction for the 3 best WRs in the league in 3 years:

1) DeVonta Smith
2) Jalon Reagor
3) Quez Watkins

Well you're an idiot. Smith was breaking towards the sideline and the ball thrown off target way behind directly to where Diggs was breaking.

well show the video. Lets watch it!

Once Smith learns how to run better routes plays like this won't happen too often.

Go watch it if you need to.

You can clearly see Smith break for an "out" route and slip and fall. If he doesn't fall, it's not an INT. Period.

He breaks at about the 38, and the INT is made at the 40.

Nice round route and Hurts stares down Smith... no wonder it was a pick six.

Yeah, the break was terrible. It doesn't look like it was broken off sharp at all before he slips. But if you look at where Smith is on the ground and where the INT happens - you can easily see where if Smith had stayed on his feet, it's an incomplete pass at worst, and maybe even a reception at best.

So Diggs ran a better route than Smith?

I don't think that Smith "slipped and fell"

It was likely the breeze from Diggs running by Smith that blew him over!

That throw was behind Smith and was going to be picked off take taken back for a TD one way or the other.

Breeze was so furious that it caused Smith to fall BEFORE Diggs ever got there. That's some top-end speed to cause that kind of sonic boom.

 

[RememberTheKoy]

Hey but really great analysis there citing vertical marks on the field when the ball was thrown behind him as he was breaking horizontally towards the sideline.

What I imagine happens every time RTK opens this thread with more and more evidence he simply tries to ignore...

Doesn’t count + Ratio + L

 

[Dude]

“Looks like a good one,” whatever that means.

 

[jerseyhawksfan79]

come on now. You know he makes as many absurd comments as the other one, then disappears. He also, always bumps the 10% of things hes correct about.

He's never correct. In fact his posts are usually worthless.

So was his route on that play the ol' cut right and fall down...
