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.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for.

      The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
