Fun Fact: Panthers Receivers in the Playoffs


Recommended Posts

Fun Fact: Of the top 10 best receiving yardage performances in playoff history, three of them belong to Carolina Panthers.

 

Steve Smith had 404 yards in the 2003 playoffs (4th all-time) and 335 yards in 2005 (10th all-time; 3rd all-time for those who didn't play in the Super Bowl).

Additionally, Muhsin Muhammad had 352 yards in 2003, good for 9th on the all-time list.

 

No other team has more than two entries in the top 25.

 

Steve Smith is also the only player to appear twice in the top 12. And if you add every player's two best playoff yardage performances together, he finishes just ahead of 2nd place Jerry Rice by 13 yards and 3rd place Larry Fitzgerald by 34 yards.

 

Despite his limited number of playoff appearances, Steve Smith still sits pretty at 13th all-time on the playoff receiving list, behind only Reggie Wayne and Anquan Boldin for active players.

The man was simply unstoppable in his prime, and that was with Jake Delhomme slinging the ball.  Plus, I've never seen a non-RB player get tackled/make crazy catches inside the five as many times as Smitty... guy was probably 30 total yards away from another 10 or so career receiving TDs.

Remember the GB game in '08 (I think it was '08?) when he got tackled at the one yard line twice in the same game?

Steve is definitely deserving of a spot in Canton. No other 5'9 WR will ever come close to his numbers

If the Panthers won Superbowl 38 there's no question he'd be in the HOF if all the rest of his numbers were the same.

    • Everybody made too much of that. The CBA and the 17 game schedule is what kills the cohesion we see in teams across the league in the opening games.  You decide, look at your depth and make informed decisions there or you get a an extra quarter or whatever two quarters with your ones.  Teams that are set don’t have those openings as much down the roster to evaluate but that ain’t everybody. It is quandary. I think they need that 4th preseason game back. But as I said, I don’t lay that as the excuse for Bryce to come out looking like he does to start seasons. He has an entire camp. 
    • Hey I said the 1pm west coast team, I said the up down up down and we were due for the up week.  You can’t know what is going to happen. There was a guy that detailed why the league would engineer a Panthers win to bring LA Rams back to the pack in conference standings.  Who really knows, and how much real belief do you have when citing these things? I generally have as much as my superstition allows. It rarely rises to an emotional experience. Usually it is more analytical. In terms of interest. When crazy poo happens and we win a game like today I for sure enjoy it.  I mean you have to think about it, how many times do you connect 2 4th and short situations for TDs? Who does that? That is like the most embarrassing thing for the Rams’ defense lol. That never happens and should never happen.  Expecting it to happen might not be a good plan. But it was pretty great    
    • The defense has mostly stuck to the "break slowly" and get a turnover or two still zero pass rush
