How Stupid Has Kolby Smith Made Herm and Carl Look?

**petegz28** · 12-03-2007, 07:59 AM

Ok in the last few weeks I have noticed we have had less runs for - or 0 yards. Smith has shown the ability to make a coupe yards where LJ was not. Be it his running style, attitude or whatver this kid runs and runs well.

One has to ask.....WTF has this kid been? Why did it take a trade and 2 injuries to get him on the field?

So you have to add this to the list of **** ups Carl and Herm have made this year personel wise...

Indecision on who should be QB..tot he tune that until a couple weeks ago Croyle and Huard still split snaps in practice.
Wasted draft pick on kicker
Trading Bennett
Playing Holmes over Smith

And now Smith comes out and shows he can carry the rock.

It's not real hard to make either look stupid. Although he has looked far superior than LJ or Priest. My question is how superior will he look after Hermie runs him into the ground like Curtis Martin.

Herm has no idea how to handle RB's his history has already established that, he ran LJ into the ground. He ran Martin into the ground with Lamont Jordan sitting on the bench...

Smith was a 5th round pick, that looks smart...the Chiefs repeatedly giving RB's big contracts, that is stupid. But it's the nature of this team, 75% of this board would have rioted if LJ would have been traded before the year even though that was the smart move.

keep giving him the rock please. LJ have a seat for now

It's hard to predict how young backs are gonna do once they get in. How can anybody justify playing a rookie back over the proven superstar?

Plenty of things have made Carl and Herm look stupid but I don't think this proves anything other than the value they got with that pick.

the Herm apologists will be along shortly to explain that it wasnt Herms fault for running the backs into the ground, it was his OC's faults...

The only thing it says is it proves how stupid it is to pay a RB.....

But other teams prove that everyday...the Colts do it with Addai and Keith instead of paying James. The Raiders run the ball with Justin Fargas...there are numerous examples around the league of not needing a 50 million dollar man to run the ball.

I dont blame the orginization for giving Priest a shot. He just doesnt have the gas to be an every down back. At times he looked better than LJ.

LJ needs to get his shit together. At the very least, he should be sharing the backfield with Kolby next yr.

Giving Priest a shot is one thing. Not spelling Priest for an entire half almost?

I don't think this team knows wtf they are doing offensivley. If we had a real OC then we wouldn't have these issues.

I think you left a little on your nose.

Maybe it's because it was his 2nd start and he was full of energy and throughly excited. He's got to keep it up over half a season at least before he proves anything. Running against Oakland and then less than 100 against SD doesn't proved a damn thing.

I understand you are frustrated but take the blinders off.

Well maybe Dick Curl will manage the offense better next year?

I'm hardly a Carl and Herm kissbutt. I'm a realist who gives credit and criticism where deserved. I'm also reserving the harshest criticism for after the rebuilding period.

Expect that and Chad Pennington....expect the worst...hope for the best.

The only thing I am hoping for to make it better is that Herm and Carl both come to my house and shit on my head. Atleast I know they care about one thing, shitting on the fans.

Yeah, if not for Herm Curtis Martin would still be crushing the league at age 34. What league are you watching? Backs don't last after age 31, especially backs with pre-existing degnerative knee conditions. What was there to save?
