Voltaire Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 I had O.Smith on my dynasty team last season, but traded him for Michael Turner (I also have Tomlinson). I feel pretty good about the deal. Smith is worth a risk since he has the skills to perform if his head is on straight. Obviously, I'm not sure anybody can polish this turd. I took turner because he's phenominal LT insurance and he may LaMont Jordan in the future (another player I sat on forever). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skrappy1 Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 (edited) Onterrio Smith has said that he has cleaned up and genuinely wants to come back to play for the Vikings. Take that with a grain of salt... he's been in a lot of trouble, but a year off might be enough to help him straighten up. 1290451[/snapback] What concerns me most though is, didn't he say all the same types of things after his 4-game suspension the year before? Seems to me like he is just another moran content to piss away his career. He is a talented moran no doubt...if he does happen to get his act together, I think he can definitely play, but I wouldn't bet anything other than a late flier in the hopes that that happens. Seems like guys like Smith, Lawrence Phillips, Maurice Clarett, Chris Henry, etc. just don't get "it" no matter how many chances they get.

Being out of the limelight may hurt him more than loss of money. Being on a team with a tough attitude may help. I don't think he's a L Phillips. He isn't a sociopath.
