Coach saw what all fans watched the last several years. Highly paid unreliable players that are supposed to be the go to players to step up, but were happy just to take the money and coast. Not sure if he goes or not, but competition is about to get real!!!

Wouldn't surprise me, Kyle has Julio Jones standards!

Seriously. Kyle said he had to do like 20 interviews during this combine. That's insane. Leave Brittany alone! He's got work to do.

i hope they can dump torrey smith off on somebody for a pick or two, hes useless anyway. all he can do is run straight and drop s**t

Some ppl might not agree but even it his age Anquan has been more productive then Smith. Smith has not earn the hefty contract he got a couple of years ago. We honestly kept the wrong former Raven.



Hopefully Philly calls up Lynch N we pawn em off to them.

Dudes in the comment section talking about, he didn't mention Torrey Smith cause then he'd have to say something about the other guys. NO! He didn't mention Torrey cause Torrey is bad and he clearly wasn't impressed by him.

Yeah, not exactly a glowing endorsement from Shanahan.

Q: "Any one of the WRs on the roster stand out to you?"
A: "No one in particular"

LOL. .straight shooter all the way. I like that about him.

In regards to Torrey Smith, he had decent success playing X receiver in this style offense in 2014. Gary Kubiak was calling the plays in Baltimore that year. Same offense as what Shanahan will run here. He did not turn into the complete X receiver people were hoping for, but he had decent production. Even had 11 TDs on the year.

Shanahan has an aggressive offense that wants to attack downfield, particularly off play-action. We saw flashes, albeit very few, of what Torrey could do in 2015 when we at least attempted to throw it to him deep. He's a guy you have to feed multiple times downfield. If you take one deep shot a game, he's not going to do much. Take 4 or 5, and he'll make a splash play. Ideally I'd love to replace him with an Alshon Jeffery, because he is a true complete X receiver who would thrive in this offense.

Well hard to evaluate a WR when the QB is so. bad. too.

Yeah, but too many easy drops, stupid penalties, sloppy routes... Those things can be seen on tape.
everyone was bad last year 2-14

Oh I agree with this too.... I'm not praising. I'd say Torrey is a bit better than he's shown here...

Torrey really doesn't look good on film either. His thing is getting deep, there's not much he can do without anything to compliment him.

I hear you. And I agree that everything wasn't the fault of the receivers, but that doesn't mean I will miss any of them when they are gone.

Of course it wasn't all their fault. They carried an absolutely terrible QB to a 90 rating and 16td/4int. We should be good to go with a new QB
