LABengalsFan09 Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 Did anyone watch him in NFLE? Went from starter to backup to emergency to waterboy. Even in the feature on him he was throwning passes off balance and without any accuracy!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I know we took him but someone would have taken him in the first if we hadn't.That has to be one of the greatest con-jobs of all time.

CBin2k7 Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Isn't it amazing how one bad draft pick can set a Franchise back years. First Kilingler then Akili.Finally we now have Carson.I will always remember Akili getting blasted by Rob Burnett of the Ravens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjakq27 Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 http://www.nfl.com/teams/story/TB/8560938Buccaneers release QB Akili Smith NFL.com wire reports TAMPA, Fla. (June 13, 2005) -- Akili Smith was released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the latest NFL team to part ways with the quarterback who was the No. 3 overall pick in the 1999 NFL Draft. Smith was only with the Buccaneers after the team agreed to sign him so he could participate with an NFL Europe team, the Frankfurt Galaxy, this summer. The Galaxy's season ended June 4, and Smith returned to Tampa for a minicamp last week. Taken by the Cincinnati Bengals, Smith was a member of the heralded 1999 quarterback draft class, which included Tim Couch, Donovan McNabb, Daunte Culpepper and Cade McNown, all of whom were among the top 12 picks that season. Only McNabb and Culpepper, starring for Philadelphia and Minnesota, remain in the league. Smith appeared in only 22 games, starting 17, in four disappointing seasons with the Bengals. He signed with Green Bay before the 2003 season, but was cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalszoneBilly Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Hey, maybe we can pick him back up! Just to re-live the joy of cutting him one more time? Now that's funny right there, I don't care who you are! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjakq27 Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 I will always remember Akili getting blasted by Rob Burnett of the Ravens.I remember when the Bucs ate him for lunch the year they won it all ('02 season?). That was the day I almost bailed out on the Bengals and "sorta" vowed that I would not renew my tickets. I no longer enjoyed going to the games. But obviously things have changed quite a bit since then....... :player: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Taters Posted July 2, 2005 Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 Akili never came back to TB after his trip to NFLE. He's back in San Diego where he owns a pretty nice sized real estate company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
