Anyone seen Cam Smith ?

Honest question for you - how many rookies corners are starting for their teams, and also playing well??

Not saying it cant be done but the way you are talking makes it seem like it is very widespread


NEWSFLASH

corner isnt the easiest position to hit the ground running from college to the nfl
I'm sure there a few for sure. I know Gonzalez was tearing it up for the Patriots before he got hurt. Diggs was a stud rookie for the Cowboys. Same with Sauce Gardner for the Jets last year. I'm sure there are even some that have been drafted in the 2nd and 3rd round who have contributed right away. It does happen but you have to be able to draft the right players and Grier misses the mark most of the time when it comes to that.

Well if he can contribute right away why isn't he seeing the field? Other teams don't sit players who are able to contribute right away. This reminds me of the Tindall pick where he never sniffed the field and was also a 2nd round pick.
At this point it seems much more likely that our DC is kind of a moron.
 
He was not a rd2 pick. If one is going to do over reactive, emotional rants, at least be factual.
Okay my bad he was a 3rd round pick but that still doesn't change the fact that he has been a bust so far and it's not like the Dolphins have very good linebackers to being with!
 
i hope he is not another iggy. you draft a kid in the 2nd round, they are expected to play and contribute

The only way I call him another Iggy, is to see him on the field, and failing.

As Travis said, the CB position is not exactly an easy position to learn, but if what you have there is not getting the job done, while the young kid you drafted owned the off-Season at DB, maybe give him a chance.

Far from a moron, but he could be seeing greatness in Smith, and bringing him along slowly. Well, it's emergency time, break the glass and use him before this season gets out of hand.
 
Way too early for that. By all accounts he was having an excellent camp and preseason.
Having an excellent camp and preseason means **** if you don't play in games.

I agree. Based on how the defense has been going I say let the kid get some snaps, see how he does. Fangio doesn’t seem to be making the right decisions.
