Smith to the HOF

If he'd have had a GOOD QB and a decent supporting cast around him for the majority of his career, this wouldn't even be a question.

If you think otherwise or want to get all hung up on the bad times, then you're a hater.

Aside from maybe Jerry Rice, Walter Payton, and Barry Sanders, I don't think there are many in the history of the game that deserved HOF more. The stuff Smith has accomplished despite his lack of physical stature and people not believing in him is a testament to his hard work and desire to be the best.

"He was a transcendent talent," Harstad reasoned, "who was too often let down by those around him."

Let's place that in proper context: Smith lost one season to a broken leg, had two more sabotaged by historically inept quarterback play and spent his prime in an offense that annually ranked among the bottom-five in pass attempts.

    • And I won't even get into our forward lines... We have three legit forwards in aho, Svech, and Jarvis and a bunch of grinders. There is a reason why we have a hard time putting the puck in the net - nobody on this team knows how to shoot
    • I was more inclined to say fire rod last year than this year. I still think we are lacking significant talent on this team. Without chatty, our defense has old man burns who is washed, ghostbear who is a one-way player, orlov who makes numerous awful turnovers each game, a solid walker, and slavin. I think we are all definitely mad that nikishin didn't play, but we weren't winning this game with them anyway. The entire team came out flat, which is inexcusable at home down a game. If rod couldn't fire them up, I don't think any coach in the NHL does.  Florida is the worst possible matchup for us because they play very similar to us but are better at doing it. It sucks we're going to get swept, but I honestly thought this team was a fringe at best playoff team once we traded away mikko
    • The system isn't the problem. It's decision making.
