TwistofFate Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Is it just me, or is Steve Smith the absolute worst analyst/commentator on the whole staff? I feel dumber every time I listen to him, and each time he's done speaking I think the same thing....how the hell does the NFL allow someone that bad to continue to speak? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a diva WR, so he sounds more douchey than most commentators.... plus he's not exactly a favorite of fellow NFL alums because of the way he acts. Michael Irvin can be a diva, but when it comes to both of then, Michael Irvin is much more liked. "“I understand you got the rings, but I passed years ago statistically…,” Smith said, bringing statistics into his argument. “I got a doctorate in route running. You got an associate’s degree, playa. That’s community college.” https://nypost.com/2018/09/14/steve-smiths-feud-with-michael-irvin-spills-onto-live-tv/ Edited March 29, 2020 by EasternOHBillsFan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommonCents Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I give Smith some benefit because he almost took down the Pats with Delhomme. He was a beast for a few years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmsmystic Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 He's just too hostile as a tv commentator. I understand he was a small guy who played well with a chip on his shoulder, but this hasn't translated well to tv 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Is he worse than Michael Irvin? A case can be made, but they both are loud and animated in making marginal points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buftex Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 (edited) Honestly, I think the NFL Network could be so much better....I can't think of a single personality on the network that I think is really good...Kurt Warner, maybe....Willie McGinnest...and Amber Theo Harris has great legs...Steve Smith and Marshall Faulk may be the worst of the bunch. The ones that aren't "too bad" are only not "too bad" in comparison to the others on the network. They just seem to go for the lowest common denominator...all the time. I love the idea of the NFL Network, but it is just hot garbage for the most part. I always here people, sort of generically, praise the Good Morning Football show, but it makes me cringe...

Buffalo Boy Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 I watched Smith come up here in Charlotte. I really disliked that team: Delhomne because he wasn’t good. Fox because he was safe and predictable and his quotes sucked. Hurney because he sucked at drafting And Smith because he was / is a weeney. Between attacking two teammates years apart and his general Napoleon complex he rubbed be wrong. He has a weekly call in on the afternoon show here and he’s just a Douche. He talks down to the host. He talks crap about everyone he’s asked about. And he rambles on tangents like a teen who’s high for the first time. He hates player who gets drafted higher than he did and gets an ounce of publicity. It drives him nuts and he goes into personal cheap shot mode.

Florida Bills Fanatic Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 I find it hard to believe that the NFL Network can't find former players that could provide better analysis and communicate that analysis in a professional manner. There are a couple that I think are okay but some are just terrible like Steve Smith. Fortunately, my TV remote has an off button. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonzo1105 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 (edited) I’ve only seen him a couple times but each time I’ve seen him he’d rather play the I’m unfiltered tough guy just like he was when he played, which I’m sure NFL network wants him to be like. I think it makes him a worse analyst but I’m sure they live it if it means more eyeballs, clicks, and social media attention Edited March 29, 2020 by gonzo1105 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_In_NH Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Mow my lawn. Keep it clean! I always loved his trash talk on the field. Have not been tuning in though. I can’t stand Irvin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t disagree as Smith is annoying. I don’t remember as someone else pointed out the racist comments. As far as Faulk, he’s a douche. When the Steelers played the Cardinals in the SB in Tampa, I was asked to put together a little less than half the coaches at the NFL experience. It’s cool as the kids really enjoy it, and you run drills etc. with current and former players and a coach or two the days I was there. Well, Faulk came into to talk with Boys and Girls Club kids, and was the biggest prick to us coaches who thought we were volunteering our time. Later, we were paid and was pleasantly surprised. Anyway, I lost all respect for that guy that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
