According to Pro Football Reference, he now has 45 100-yard games - tied with Issac Bruce for 10th-most all-time. Here are the players ahead of him:

1. Jerry Rice (76)

2. Randy Moss (64)

3. Marvin Harrison (59)

4. Terrell Owens (51)

5. Don Maynard (50) 

6. Andre Johnson (50) [active]

7T. Michael Irvin (47)

7T. Torry Holt (47)

9. Jimmy Smith (46) 

10T. Steve Smith (45)

 

I think he's a Hall of Fame lock if he can get to 51 100-yard games. It'll be tough but going ahead of that sort of talent would really pay dividends towards being counted among them. For reference, here's where he ranks in other categories, excluding playoffs:

*Receptions - 854 (22nd)

*Receiving yards - 12,487 (18th)

*Yards per catch - 14.6 (17th)

*Reeiving TDs - 68 (36th)

*Receiving YPG - 67.5 (27th)

*All-purpose yards - 16,897 (15th, current active leader)

*Yards-per-touch - 14.2 (18th)

With a 101-yard receiving game at Cleveland Sunday, Steve Smith now has 25 career 100-yard receiving games on the road. Only Jerry Rice (39) and Marvin Harrison (26) have more.

...

The five catches for 101 yards pushed Smith to 290 yards for the season, the most by a player in the first three games with the franchise since Anquan Boldin's 287.

After today's game he is now tied with Torry Holt and Michael Irvin. If he can manage three more his entire career, he will be tied with Don Maynard and Andre Johnson - although, given how this season is going, he could very well get five or six more and pass Terrell Owens. 

Also, he already has more yards and touchdowns than he did in the entirety of the 2010 season. He's on pace for 93 receptions, 1,528 yards, and 11 touchdowns - which would be his second best season ever behind 2005. And given how they are giving him in the area of 8 targets per game, it's not completely out of the picture.

Reggie has a ring for his resume. Let Smitty win a ring and then I agree with your inequality.

Doesn't matter.

Randy Moss and TO. Of course they might have a better career but 89 is a much better receiver than Wayne. Reggie had been healthier and played 95% of his career with Manning.

Smitty played with Delhomme who was an above average QB, and guys like Moore and Clausen.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
