Steve Smith by a mile.  CMC had a great season, but was force fed those numbers.  Smitty was unstoppable that year.

that year smitty could do no wrong, best year I've ever seen a WR have, only if the rest of the offense was a bit better....

Smitty us the more electric receiver, no doubt. And he had a great season that year. 

CMCs stats put him in even more rarified territory.

I would probably go with Smith.

Are your stats a product of you being that much better than whoever would replace you, or are you stats a product of you getting a lot of touches?

Smith and it’s not even close. I’ll pass on the hollow stats by CMC every day until Sunday.

CMC and i would say it's not really close at all.  Smith was on a much better team with a much better quaterback.  Neither of their seasons are easy to do but everyone knew CMC was getting the ball and he still produced.  Smith did as well but way to many teams just put 1 guy on Steve and expected to stop him.  I am looking at you Chicago.

Smith by a small gap.... The coverage he drew was more then CMC drew due to other threats such as dj Moore, Samuel, and Olsen.

Smith should've won MVP if not for the Seahawks oline

Eh, my main argument is the 2 times cmc was stopped short on 4th and 1.  This isnt a slight on him, he is amazing and definitely elite, but when recognizing all time greats, stuff like that doesnt happen.  Put the ball in smitty's hand in 2005, I dont care if it's a yard or a mile, it was gonna get done.
