Bob Sturm on Mazi Smith

[Hawkeye0202]

Still plenty of time for this kid to be the player we need......patience

 

[beware_d-ware]

"#1 on Bruce Feldman's Freak List" was basically Mazi's entire resume at Michigan. He was a zero on the field, and he didn't back those numbers up with the little Pro Day testing he did.

Now one year later, he's done nothing as a rook, and we're back to bringing up the old magazine article again. I wonder if that's all Mazi will ever have.

I have no fear that he will be a bust. He can play. My concern is why is he Losing weight.

He came from a good team and great defense. I can’t buy they were good in spite of him when he plays the position he does.

We sure did kill it with those first two picks last year. Could the picks of Mazi and Schoonmaker be the two worst picks of the 1st and 2nd round combined ever?

Yall want Mazi to be a bust so bad lol. Truly a sickness. This fan sickness must be Jerry's fault too

Exactly right. Not a luxury in the instant gratification society we live in.

Look at some of Jerry;s drafts in the late 90's

I hope this wasn't from the scouting department prior to draft selection. I really do. If so, I'm calling the Cowboy HR department this afternoon to apply for scouting openings.

Not even close. Good grief.

And those unwilling to say it like it is are nothing but Jerry Minions

Mazi had shown nothing so far; but the idea is to give a guy three years
Bottom line you expect a first rd pick to contribute seriously in his first year and all Mazi has done is fill space

 

[big dog cowboy]

My concern scary is he Losing weight.

I really hope the truth in that story comes out this off season.

I wonder if this could be a factor in moving on from Quinn ( I doubt it)

Saying it like it is is saying Mazi will never be a good player? Didn't know being a realist meant having psychic powers as well. Interesting. Tell me more

jumping up stairs isn't playing football. He was picked early and needs time. Or, maybe this is what he is.

I mean sure it's too early to give up but it's also disconcerting that he didn't show much as a rookie. The same thing happened with Taco, who after his rookie year, people kept saying be patient, he's raw, etc.

Hopefully this doesn't turn out like Taco.

Its not that he is sick; that certainly would have leaked
And I find it hard to believe its accidental
So the club must have wanted him to do this which pretty much craps over the whole premise of why he was picked in the first place
But would not be the first time the boys tried to force a square peg in a round hole

This entire post is so wrong. He wasn't expected to come in and look like Randy White in his prime.

If you did truly expected Mazi to come in and "contribute seriously in his first year" then your expectations were out of whack before the season even started.

I hope they do…because if he’s not as big and strong as he was at Michigan there’s going to be a issue for him and us.
