Why would anyone take Pitts over Smith?

[artdnj]

I wasn't impressed with M Jones workout at all, which probably means he'll be the next TB. I like Smith, AND Pitts, Waddle, Chase. I don't think we can go wrong with anyone of them truthfully and I wish I could fast forward time to see who will be the best one of the bunch.

No. I'd be more concerned about guys that can't play football.

^^THIS x1000

I keep asking for examples of slim receivers that didn’t pan out for the undeniable reason of being slim.

I mean, there’s gotta be an extensive list of examples somewhere that’s causing all this fear and trepidation — right???

Nope.

Someone says it. Others hear or read it. Adopt it. And there’s your narrative.

Conversely, a pretty nice list of slim, even short, overly successful receivers has been provided numerous times in the past and always dismissed.

Smith is slim. Not short or small. He also has extensive length, tremendous hands & route running abilities and has proven durable over 4 seasons in the SEC. Against arguably the best collection of DB’s college football has to offer.

Yet some folks are concerned over weight when there’s no empirical evidence to support the concern, let alone conclusive evidence.

People be crazy.

I do wonder though how his skillset will be effected by faster, stronger CB's in the NFL.

Stronger and faster than the one’s he faced in the SEC the past 4 years, some of which are in the NFL now?

 

[EJay]

Smith will be a damn good pro for whoever drafts him in the teens. It just won't be Miami.

LMFAO.

Because YOU say so?

Just admit, like everyone else, you really have no clue what MIA is gonna do.

It’s ok, really.

Durability is a concern

Explain why.

How much time did he miss in 4 seasons in college? In one of the most talented and physical conferences there is.

Kyle Pitts missed more games this past season than Devonta Smith did the past 3 seasons combined.

I don’t bring that up to dis Kyle Pitts, who I really like, but rather to demonstrate how silly this “concern” is. There’s no precedent for it.

 

[EJay]

Didn't he miss the 2nd half of the championship game because he got injured?

After having already dominated the game. Left with a safe lead.

How many games did he miss during his career?? How many the past 3 years as a full time starter??

Talk about grasping at straws.

Where’s your durability concerns and spite toward Kyle Pitts who missed several games this past season? Or toward numerous other prospects that also missed time??

Selective criticism and confirmation bias at its finest. You can’t be taken seriously.

Okay. Sure. Due to an illegal hit against the dirty dogs (UGA) Pitts missed some games this year..does that make him injury prone? No. You're flat out wrong. So come up with another knock on Pitts. I'll wait! lol

I am not coming up with knocks. The argument some including you is that he is too thin and will be hurt. I asked who has missed more time due to injury. Those hits are in the NFL too by bigger guys than Cine. Some guys have a back for avoiding those types of hits Gronk didn't and stayed injured even at his size yet guys like Hilton and Harrison wh are Smith's size have not. So just pointing out some facts is all.

 

[gerblack]

I guess Im an idiot too since I have called Smith a bust waiting to happen for a while. Theres no denying he was great last year and deserved the Heismann, but the NFL is full of faster and bigger players than he had faced in college and I feel after some NFL hits he may not see the field much. Bust is extreme, I agree, I just dont see him delivering enough value given his draft position.

Pitts and Gesicki would be fun to watch with Parker and Preston on the outside and a shiny new RB for Tua to finish it off? I wouldnt put it past Grier to move the 18 pick and that SF pick in 2023 to get back up to top 10 if someone drops.

He faced Db's that but up 4.25 times and guys 6'2 over 200 pounds. How much bigger and faster are they in the NFL than the 4.25 and 4.3 guys he beat? The avg NFL DB is what a 4.4-4.5 guy

So a guy gets hit in the head from a clearly illegal targeting call and then you say that means he is suceptable to injury? Not a single person agrees with your fraud logic. If you even saw the play in question against Georgia, it was a clear targeting call and called as such. Then again, I am not surprised you stoop to such levels. Smitty would died from the same hit..you know..all 140lbs of him. But yeah, believe what you will. Pitts has zero injury concerns as such..and facts are facts..Smitty is a risk to waste away at such a small weight..he needs to add some muscle. For sure. He won't even workout or run at two pro days..what is your boy afraid of? LMAO! Facts , bro..that's all!

Are you an Alabama fan? That explains a lot...Smitty is dropping like a fly in the draft..deal with that Fact! Pitts is moving up the boards!

Would you take a sliced 1 oz steak or a 64 oz steak? Smith vs Pitts arguement defeated.

Well, I am a Ga fan so I would imagine I watched that game and saw Cine the player who hit him and I named do it. Also, injury is an injury is he now more susceptible to concussions because of that hit as happens with some players. You keep saying Smith will hypothetically be injured and folder in the NFL yet are quick to brush off the fact that your bigger and fav player was the one injured in College but won't get hurt in the NFL? I mean Tedd Ginn seems to stay healthy and so does Lockett.

I think the injury concern is overhyped and like you said earlier some that are just looking for a knock on a player especially one who hasn't been injured. Now if you want to talk match up utility and potential then that is a better talking point.

Wrong again I am a UGA fan actually and wished Smith did suck and dropped that pass on 2nd and 26 but he didn't and here we are. Plus we already had this discussion on where I rank all the WR's.

I am curious how is he dropping like a fly. Flies fly to they don't really drop but where are teams saying that Smith has dropped on their boards.

1980 is cool let me remind you that your Coach's best year has 4 losses lol and Tod Grantham is still your DC.

What is this dumbass post?

Obviously it’s my opinion. It’s a message board. An opinion based mostly on conjecture mixed with speculation and third party information. Duuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
