Devonte Smith appreciation thread

[Blueguitar]

I don't see a thread on Devonte after his incredible game against Ole Miss. He richly deserves one. He now has the fifth most receiving yards in the country. Hard to believe that a receiver that good has been almost overlooked until now, but that speaks to how loaded our receiving corps is, and what an unselfish player he is. If we don't have a Biletnickoff winner for the second year in a row it will just be because Jeudy, Ruggs and Smith will each grab votes.

I would love it if one or two of those three guys come back next year, but I expect they'll all go to the Show, and I look forward to seeing their names all called the first day. And we'll still have Waddle, who I think will be the star of the next wave of great receivers.

Thank you for winning my workplace SEC-only fantasy league game this week. Joe Burrow was on a bye so I doubted I could milk-out enough points to win but just you and that other WR from THEM outscored my opponent.

But seriously, it was a fantastic experience to be in the stadium and see that domination from ostensibly our 3rd best WR.

Great Job Devonte Smith. Love all the receivers but it was his time to shine this past weekend and shine he did!!

Through my crimson glasses, that’s the best picture in the entire history of football at any level.

They watched the tape and picked Jeudy and Ruggsy. But turns out Devonte is not chopped liver. With apologies to Meat Loaf, covering two out of three ain't bad, you can hold the third guy down to 270yd/5TD.

I have a framed picture similar to this (it has a collage and this is one of the pics; another is Tua throwing) in my Bama themed exercise room.

Saban has a few framed pictures from the game outside his office, including one picture that focuses on the UGA crowd's faces/reactions. It is priceless.

I am so glad I got to attend that game to see this in person. I was sitting on the Georgia side about 10 rows up around the 40 yard line. (I sat on the Georgia side because I got a free ticket from a friend).

I hope Devonte stays next year when Jeudy and Ruggs most likely leave. That would leave Devonte, Waddle, Metchie, and some young guys to keep things going with Mac/Bryce/Lia?

Side note: I did not realize Mac Jones will graduate in December as a red shirt sophomore . That will definitely make things interesting for next season if Bryce wins the job.

I would expect Mac to transfer with two years remaining -- makes sense

Really depends on where he sees his future. If he wants to be a coach, why transfer? If he believes that he has NFL talent, he should stay and win the job. If he can't beat out a true freshman and two guys with almost no playing time, he isn't going to make an NFL roster.

Kyle Allen did and he’s now a starter.

He left for different reasons. He left a dumpster fire.

Enjoy Smitty while you can because he will get a big payday like the rest of them in the next draft. My take is Tagovailoa as your starting QB next season. His brother will be in the League.

Bryce Young will have something to say about that. I think that you're correct with all three WRs leaving...but having Waddle, Metchie, Shavers, Bolden, etc...plus the incoming class is a good starting point. But first...Let's have fun and watch history with this absolutely crazy group we have right now!!!
