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.

    • Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.  
    • I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.  
    • Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
