Steve Smith playing in 2016

[PhillyB]

per multiple sources. panthers related because he'll go to the HOF as a panther in the minds of the world, and for all his salt he'll probably come home and retire a panther and we'll all go give him a standing ovation.

...but feel free to move it mods

He said he would retire when he attained certain stats on live radio. He meant it. He can read another retirement letter next year I suppose.

Good for 89.......still the only "fathead" in the mancave.

i figured he wouldn't let that injury be his last NFL play

Hope he plays into his 40s and ends up only behind Rice in yards and is a 1st ballot HoFer.

to do it he'd have to break 16,000 receiving yards. andre johnson just bumped him out of the top ten a week or two ago, but a thousand yards next year would bump tim brown out of the #6 spot all time. another 300 yards on top of that (attainable if they make the playoffs and do some damage) would vault him to #3 all time, over randy moss. 700 after that (2017 season?) would pass terrell owens for second all-time.

in other words he needs 2000 yards. that's quite a feat at 36.

A receiver his age coming off an achilles tear? 

 

Just retire, Steve.

he probably should, but a mere 122 yards bumps him up two slots on the all-time list. that could make the difference between HOF and an almost-was, and steve knows it

He's Steve Smith, though. He literally carried that team with a broken back.

He's a HOFer right now. Pundits all love him. Getting over 1,000 catches would cement it.

Word has it his Achilles grew a mouth and started talking poo to him. That's why he's coming back.
