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.

    • No, the casual fan gets sucked into THIS^^^ kind of thinking, and it's so woefully incorrect that it's almost sad. The first is what I've said numerous times, NOTHING about non guaranteed contracts save the billionaire owners a single penny, because they still have to spend their cap floor, and the only reason teams ever don't spend the full limit, is to then roll it over into the next season to be able to spend more that year. But in the end, owners pay the same amount of money no matter what. The reverse is also the same, that the players in totality make the same amount of money as well, because in your example of Clowney not getting that money this year, it will go to another player, as the cap needs to be spent. And you say how we just cut Clowney after we gave him the 2 year contract, but everyone including Clowney's agent and himself, knew when it was signed, that it was more likely to be a 1 year contract than a 2 with how it was structured.  The 2nd year was just to be able to spread out the cap hit and he was always most likely going to end up getting traded or cut. It's why agents and players don't care about the total money in a contract, it's always and only been about the guaranteed money, as the years and overall value are meaningless, always have been, always will be.
    • Agents will have their 1st round picks hold out until the pay structure of their contract is to their liking, not how much money they'll get or even how much is guaranteed, just the when/how they will get the money over the course of the contract. If they're willing to recommend those players hold our, do you really think they won't do it for 2nd rounders to guarantee them an extra 10% of their entire rookie contract?
