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.

    • Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"
    • Yeah your right the owner was copping hand shandies while all this was going down 
    • I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
